US media asked: James is the first in history. So who is the second in history?

In a recent comment, American media BronMuse launched a thought-provoking question: "If LeBron James is considered the first person in history, who is more qualified to be the second in history between Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan?" This is undoubtedly a hot topic for basketball enthusiasts, because these three players are not only the peak of their personal skills, but also an important milestone in the long river of NBA history. Their respective achievements and influence have left a deep mark in different eras.

First of all, when it comes to LeBron James, the superstar who made his mark in the mid-2000s, has long become one of the most representative figures in basketball history. His dominance in the 2010s was unquestionable, not only winning four NBA championships with three different teams, but also achieving unprecedented records, which made him unique in history. In addition, he won the regular season Most Valuable Player (MVP) four times and the Finals MVP four times, and so far this honor is unmatched in the combination of both the regular season and the playoffs. Of course, James is the NBA's all-time scoring champion, and he also ranked first in the history of the Best of the Week and Best of the Month. His comprehensive ability makes him a perfect combination of basketball skills and wisdom, with a profound and lasting influence on the game.

Next, we turn our eyes to Karim Abdul-Jabbar. The seven-foot-two-inch legendary center's dominance in the 1970s made the league's eye-catching. He led the team to win six championships in his career and also won the regular season MVP six times. This achievement is unrivaled and shows his absolute dominance in the game. Jabbar won the brilliant achievements of the Finals MVP for the second time. Combined with the numerous data accumulated in his career, he has so far ranked second in the NBA's historical scoring list, second in the block list, and third in the rebound list. Such data is enough to prove his great position in the league, and his achievements are not only reflected in numbers, but also in his integration of basketball skills and art, setting an example for later players.

Finally, let's talk about Michael Jordan, the king of basketball in the 1990s, a symbol of basketball culture. He led the Chicago Bulls to establish a remarkable dynasty in that decade, completing three consecutive feats twice and winning six finals, creating incredible history. Jordan won the six Finals MVPs, and his five regular season MVPs are second in history, which is enough to show his huge influence in his career. In addition, Jordan's record of winning the scoring champion in ten seasons is unrivaled. He was selected as the first team of the NBA's best team nine times in his career, which is also an unprecedented glorious achievement. All of these allowed him to occupy a unique and irreplaceable position in the hall of basketball.
