克里斯·保罗被选中已经20年了。
当维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在2023年被选中时，距离勒布朗·詹姆斯被选中已经过去了20年。围绕着他们的期待引起了人们的比较。
詹姆斯是2003年选秀中唯一一位仍在NBA打球的球员。
今年夏天标志着克里斯·保罗被选中20周年。
与詹姆斯一样，他也是他那届选秀中唯一一位仍在NBA效力的球员。
詹姆斯和保罗都将在2025-2026赛季开始时年满四十岁。
两人在NBA都拥有持久的职业生涯，这已经说明了很多。
但他们的职业生涯到底有多么罕见呢？
我喜欢这张图表。它展示了所有被选中的球员，以及他们今年的场均得分。
它真正突出了克里斯·保罗（CP3）和“皇帝”詹姆斯的耐力。
请欣赏。

Open Thread: The longevity of a handful of NBA draft picks
It’s been 20 years since Chris Paul was drafted.
When Victor Wembanyama was drafted in 2023, it had been 20 years since LeBron James had been drafted. The anticipation surround each of them drew comparisons.
James is the lone 2003 draftee to still be playing in the NBA.
This summer mark’s 20 years since Chris Paul was drafted.
Like James, he is the lone remaining NBA player from his draft class.
Both James and Paul will be forty when the 2025-2026 season launches.
The two have longevity in the NBA, which is saying a lot.
But just how rare are their careers?
I love this graphic. It shows every player who has been drafted and how many points they averaged this year.
It truly underscores the endurance of CP3 and King James.
Enjoy.
