@Bill Simmons : 我创建了一个凯尔特人球员金字塔,将队史最佳球员排位,并对不同时代球员的风格特点进行分析。金字塔顶层是比尔·拉塞尔,之后是拉里·伯德和约翰·哈夫利切克,然后是鲍勃·库西、戴夫·考文斯和萨姆·琼斯,再往下是凯文·麦克海尔、保罗·皮尔斯、杰森·塔图姆、比尔·沙曼、凯文·加内特、汤米·海因索恩、罗伯特·帕里什、乔乔·怀特和杰伦·布朗。我分析了每位球员在凯尔特人队的贡献和影响,并解释了我的排名依据。 我特别关注了杰森·塔图姆和杰伦·布朗的组合,以及他们在2020年代凯尔特人队的持续竞争力。我还讨论了其他一些被低估的球员,例如约翰·哈夫利切克和乔乔·怀特,并解释了他们在不同时代对球队的重要性。最后,我谈到了在制作凯尔特人纪录片过程中,我感受到的责任感,以及如何努力展现一些在年轻一代中可能没有得到充分展现的球员的贡献。 @J. Kyle Mann : 我对库珀·弗拉格的NBA前景进行了分析。我认为他是一个独特的球员,他在18岁时就已经展现出了全面的技能,未来有可能成为NBA的超级巨星。他的篮球智商和处理球的能力使他比同年龄的塔图姆更出色。我分析了他的优势和劣势,并预测了他未来的发展方向。 我认为库珀·弗拉格最有可能成为一名全能型的球员,类似于斯科蒂·皮蓬,但他也有可能成为一支球队的核心。他的比赛风格和技术特点与拉里·伯德和杰森·塔图姆有一些相似之处,但他也有自己独特的优势。我强调了他勤奋的训练态度和极强的竞争力,这将帮助他克服目前的不足,并在NBA取得成功。我还讨论了库珀·弗拉格可能加盟的球队,以及他与不同球队阵容的适配性。
