75 regrets about the pearls left behind by major players
Many people believe that the biggest missing piece on this list is current Dwight Howard. In addition to holding a championship ring, Howard also holds 3 Defensive Player of the Year awards, 8 All-Star players, 5 First Team selections, 4 Defensive First Team selections, 5 rebounding champions, and 2 blocks. Wang and others affirmed that the total number of career rebounds ranked 11th in history, and the number of blocked shots also ranked 13th.
The next two that are more commonly mentioned are Tony Parker and Vince Carter. Parker is the only non-American player in history to reach 19,000 points and 7,000 assists. He has won 4 championships in his career and won 1 championship game MVP. As for Carter, who holds the record for the longest career season, although he lacks the blessing of a championship and major personal awards, he has accumulated at least 25,000 points, 4,500 assists, 800 blocks, and 500 three-pointers in his career. Only LeBron James and Michael have recorded it in history. Jordan did it.
