2002 No. 4 pick, 14 seasons in his career, 14.8 points and 9.4 rebounds, James 1. version assistant

Drew Gooden, the center who ranked first in the U.S. high school in 1998 and the fourth pick in 2002, was once regarded as the future star of the inside, but he has gone through 14 teams in his 15-year NBA career. His career trajectory is like a "tactical encyclopedia" that travels across continents: he has both the physical talent of a beast and the superb central shooting skills; in a certain era, he was James's capable helper; at another moment, he blocked a mountain of cover for James. Although he was unable to stand firm in the position of the absolute protagonist in a certain team, Gooden never lost his original intention - he is the tactical executor that coaches are most willing to trust, and he is also the teammate who is most willing to fight with the stars.

Drew Gooden was once known as the "No. 1 inside in the United States" with 19.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.8 steals in his junior season at the University of Kansas, but he still struggled to replicate the dominance of the NCAA after being selected by the Grizzlies. In the 2003-04 season, he was reused by the Cavaliers and entered the finals with LeBron; in the 2008-09 season, he became the "X factor" for champions such as the Suns and the Heat; in the 2012-13 season, he provided the Spurs with key fixed-point shooting and tacit cover. Such a "tallurgical oil on the field" is often traded because she is not specialized in a certain skill, but she earns a medium- and long-term contract of tens of millions of US dollars with the team.

Every time a new team, Gudeng will quickly become the "Ruzi Niu" of the tactical system: be familiar with the team's playing style, connect the old and new cores, and steadily execute the coach's arrangements. He often adopts flexible avoidance against powerful inside players, relying more on mid-range shooting and high-level support, and can deliver double ten performances of 11.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game every season. After leaving the league, he polished his piano-playing hobby into a solo album and was known for his humility and humor. In 2016, he ended his career with a beautiful data sheet: averaged 11.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, strolled for 14 years, without regrets about setting sail and starting again.

Golden once said: "I don't want to know how long I can stay, but I just want to know how much I can contribute." Perhaps it is this persistence that makes him the most unique "bubber" in the NBA: he has no championship ring, but has won respect and applause from the whole league with his character and professional attitude. His story tells us: Even if we fail to become an absolute ruler, we can become a valuable asset that every team cannot do without through concentration and wisdom.
