Don t believe it, when the NBA collided the most, these five people never retreated

Some NBA players win by relying on rhythm and skills. But there is also a type of players who do not avoid confrontation or are not afraid of physical collisions, but the more they play, the more they become more intense. They don’t rely on whistles to survive. The harder they are, the more they dare to fight, and the more ruthless they are, the more they can win. These five people are the toughest, most resistant to pressure and most capable of withstanding confrontation in NBA history.

Fifth place: Stephen Jackson

Career data: 15.1 points / 3.9 rebounds / 41.4% from the field

Honor: 1-time championship

Jackson is not a star in the traditional sense, but his tough temperament on the court cannot be ignored. In 2007, he led the Warriors Black Eight to eliminate the Mavericks and rushed to the front line every game. He not only dares to play key balls, but also dares to fight physical collisions. He is one of the creators of the Warriors' tough culture. His temperament is more like a street boxer. The tougher the battle, the more influence he can make. He is the kind of ruthless person who would rather fight technically than fight head-on.

4th place: Russell Westbrook

Career data: 21.9 points / 8.3 assists / 7.1 rebounds

Honors: 1 MVP / 9 All-Stars / 3 assists King

Westbrook's style of playing is to rush to the full force. He does not circumvent, does not dodge, does not fear of falling to the ground, breaks through in a straight line, takes off against each other, and makes a strong shot. He is one of the most confrontational point guards in the NBA history, and often faces two or three big men and dares to hit the basket. He has top physical fitness and extremely tough personality, and never avoids tough battles. Whether it is the regular season hard or the playoffs, he is a representative figure of the front-line.

3rd place: Jimmy Butler

Career statistics: 18.3 points / 5.3 rebounds / 4.3 assists / 46.1% from the field

Honors: 6 All-Stars / Multiple Playoff Blasts Performance

Butler's performance in the playoffs has repeatedly proved that he is the winner in the confrontation. He doesn’t play on rhythm, but creates space by physical contact. He is not afraid of fighting with the inside, and he dares to shoot key balls in high-intensity confrontation. He scored a triple-double in the 2020 Finals for 48 minutes, and he also led the team to defeat the Bucks with his own strength. He is a typical player with "higher strength, more fighting spirit", and is one of the most reliable pressure resistance kings in high-pressure environments.

Second place: Gary Payton

Career data: 16.3 points / 6.7 assists / 1.8 steals

Honors: 1 championship / 1 DPOY / 9 best defensive lineup

Peton's defensive style represents the most extreme confrontational outside line. He put his body on his body every turn, and he kept talking trash, and his mental and physical pressure was both oppressed. When facing Jordan and Kobe, he dared to defend himself closely and never retreat. He is one of the strongest confrontational point guards in league history, and can continuously interfere with opponents' rhythm at high intensity. He is the kind of person who once you meet, you must be ready to fight a tough battle for 48 minutes.

No. 1: LeBron James

Career data: 27.1 points / 7.5 rebounds / 7.3 assists / 50.5% from the shooting percentage

Honors: 4 championships / 4 MVPs / 20 All-Stars / NBA historical scoring champion

James is not only skilled, but more importantly, his physical ability to resist hits is outrageous. He can complete a breakthrough in confrontation, take off and end in confrontation, and pass assists in confrontation. He was chased to 3-3 in the 2016 Finals and fought hard against the Warriors' penalty area every game, and went directly to the inside in the critical round. He is one of the few players who can maintain efficiency at top-level intensity. Not only is he not afraid of collisions, but he enjoys being forced to take advantage of his opponents. He is the real "high-intensity competition solver".
