NBA regular season continues with a total of seven games. In these games, many players have put on outstanding performances, becoming candidates for the best. Which one do you prefer? First place: Towns from the Knicks, shooting 19 out of 13, including 0 out of 3 three-pointers and 6 out of 7 free throws, scoring 32 points and 13 rebounds, with a plus-minus value of +21, ranking second in the game. Facing the Wizards, who are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, he completely blew up the opponent's interior line and easily grabbed a big double-double. He is absolutely stable as the starting center for the All-Star East. Second place: Hart from the Knicks, shooting 15 out of 7, including 4 out of 8 three-pointers and 5 out of 7 free throws, scoring 23 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, and 2 steals, with a plus-minus value of +25, the highest in the game. No wonder he is called "Hart Center," as he grabbed more rebounds than Towns. When Brunson was not performing well, he stepped up to be the team's scorer and assist man. After getting a triple-double, he has now achieved this feat 9 times with the Knicks, ranking fourth in team history. Third place: Powell from the Clippers, shooting 27 out of 13, including 4 out of 12 three-pointers and 5 out of 6 free throws, scoring 35 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. After scoring only 2 points in the first quarter, he exploded in the second quarter with 15 points. In the crucial…

The age of 35 is a difficult threshold for players to cross, either retiring or experiencing a significant decline in performance. So, how did the top three small forwards in the league, LeBron James, Scottie Pippen, and Larry Bird, fare at this age? Let's discuss it! 35-year-old LeBron James LeBron James is already 40 years old, but at 35, he was still at the peak of his game, averaging 25+8+10.2 points per game. Besides maintaining a stable scoring average, he also improved in rebounds and assists, particularly with an average of 10.2 assists per game, earning him the assist title that season. In the playoffs, James' statistics further increased, especially in scoring, averaging around 28 points per game. He led his team to victory against the Trail Blazers, Rockets, Nuggets, and ultimately defeated the Heat 4-2, securing his fourth NBA championship. He also fulfilled his wish of winning championships with different teams. 35-year-old Larry Bird Older fans will know that Larry Bird, along with Magic Johnson, dominated the NBA for an era. For Bird, 35 marked the end of his career due to physical decline, which naturally led to a sharp drop in his statistics. At 35, Bird could still average 19.4+8.5+7.2 points per game. Looking at these three stats, his scoring ability remained strong, especially considering his reliable mid-to-long-range shooting. However, due to issues with stamina and age, Bird had little running or jumping in his game at 35. This data is still commendable for Bird, who later retired due to back injuries. 35-year-old Scottie Pippen Scottie Pippen can…

On December 31, 2024, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the 7-23 Jazz host the 17-13 Nuggets. This was a winnable game for the Nuggets, but could they seize the opportunity? The Jazz were without Collins, starting with Sexton, George, Zhuang, Markkanen, and Kessler. The Nuggets were missing Gordon, starting with Murray, Westbrook, Braun, Porter, and Jokic. In the first quarter, George hit a three-pointer, followed by layups from Braun, Porter, and Braun, giving the Nuggets a 6-3 lead. Zhuang scored five consecutive points, to which Porter and Murray responded, extending the lead to 11-8. Sexton, Kessler, and Markkanen added points for the Jazz, while Porter and Westbrook responded, keeping the difference at two points. Markkanen, Sexton, and Zhuang went on an 8-0 run to take a six-point lead. After a timeout, Jokic hit a three-pointer, to which Sexton responded with a mid-range shot, maintaining a five-point lead. Jokic, Braun, and Westbrook then took the lead by five points. Clarkson went on a scoring spree, netting 13 points, though Strausser and Murray tried to respond, the Jazz ended the quarter leading 37-36. The second quarter saw Jordan and Watson score five points for the Nuggets, taking a four-point lead. Phil hit a layup, followed by a dunk and free throws from Watson and Strausser, extending the lead to six points. Collier, Zhuang, and George responded with a 9-0 run to take a three-point lead. Murray hit a mid-range shot, to which Zhuang, Markkanen, and Kessler responded, giving the Jazz a seven-point lead. After another timeout, Jokic and Westbrook narrowed…

Achieving a single-season 2000-point feat requires top-notch scoring ability and maintaining an extremely high attendance rate, both of which are indispensable, making it difficult to accomplish. So, how many times have the current star players scored 2000 points in a season? Curry and Jokic: I've done it twice, Durant: I've done it seven times, James: Step aside. Irving is hailed as one of the top scorers in the league, with his scoring skills and clutch performances widely recognized. However, despite his excellent scoring ability, he cannot maintain a high appearance rate while keeping up a first-class scoring performance. Therefore, although he once scored 1816 points in a season, he still failed to reach the standard of 2000 points in a single season. The same situation also occurred to Leonard and Paul, who, despite their formidable strength, had unsatisfactory attendance rates. And Paul, as the representative of traditional point guards, although he has some scoring performances, is still slightly inferior to other top scorers, so they have never had a 2000-point season. Curry, as the face of the league, has extremely high popularity and strong three-point shooting ability. At the peak of his career, he became the scoring champion twice with an average score of over 30 points per game, and he easily broke through 2000 points in those two seasons. Jokic is currently the leader of the league. He not only excels in scoring but also performs outstandingly in organizing and rebounding. In the 22nd and 24th seasons, he also successfully achieved a total score of over 2000 points. Westbrook…

NBA stars are known for their exceptional skills and unique personalities, becoming idols in the hearts of basketball fans around the world. But what were these superstars like in their childhood? Let's travel through time together to take a look at the childhood photos of these NBA legends and feel their transformation from cute kids to court legends. LeBron James LeBron James is a name that is almost universally recognized in the basketball world. The young LeBron in the photo doesn't look much different from how he does now, which is why fans often tease him for being "mature beyond his years." His dark skin, bright eyes, warm smile, and those adorable ears make it easy to recognize who this is. Yao Ming When we talk about Yao Ming, we tend to associate him with stability and humility. However, there was an unknown side to young Yao. The boy in the photo, wearing a red leather jacket and yellow casual pants, looks like a rock singer. This outfit makes one wonder if Yao had chosen a career in music, would he have become a shining star as well? Dwyane Wade Wade is undoubtedly one of the handsome black guys in the NBA, known for his chiseled features and strong physique. However, young Wade didn't stand out much, but old fans could still recognize him through his distinctive jowls. Stephen Curry Curry is loved by fans for his precise three-point shooting and his sunny good looks. Young Curry may have lacked a bit of heroism, but his cute and naive temperament…

Stars such as Towns, Hart, Kobe White, Kobe Bryant, Jokic, Garland, Mitchell, Fox, and the Emperor all had impressive performances. So, who will be awarded the title of today's best player? Let's take a look together. In the game between the 76ers and the Trail Blazers, five players from the Trail Blazers scored in double figures, with Simmons, Ayton, and Avdija combining for 54 points, 17 rebounds, and 9 assists. However, they still suffered a crushing defeat, trailing by as many as 27 points, and the game quickly lost its suspense, all because the Emperor was too unreasonable! The Emperor played for 35 minutes, shooting 12 of 21 (1 of 1 from three-point range), making 12 of 13 free throws, and exploded for 37 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists with an on-court plus-minus value of +26. Especially in the first half, the Emperor struck hard, scoring 20 points and grabbing 8 rebounds to set the tone for the normal game. We are familiar with the Emperor's return, it has been a long time! In the game between the Mavericks and the Kings, Doncic, Irving, and Thompson were absent. Washington scored 28 points, grabbed rebounds,…

On December 31st, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Denver Nuggets visiting the Utah Jazz. The Jazz were in the midst of a three-game losing streak, with tanking as their main strategy, but the Nuggets had previously shown a tendency to support weaker teams in the league, so they could not afford to underestimate or be careless. In this game, both teams engaged in high-scoring play, with the Nuggets struggling to widen the point difference. However, the Jazz made a strong comeback at the end of the second quarter with a 15-2 run to take the lead. After halftime, the Jazz's shooting accuracy dropped, allowing the Nuggets to make a strong counterattack, winning the third quarter by 11 points and regaining control of the game. In the final quarter, the Jazz made a desperate attempt to catch up, but the Nuggets, led by Jokic and Westbrook, extended their lead to double digits, effectively sealing the game. Ultimately, the Nuggets defeated the Jazz 132-121. The Jazz are known for their ability to excel in chaotic situations, with Clarkson and Sexton leading the backcourt. However, the Nuggets, driven by the trio of Jokic, Westbrook, and Murray, played their most perfect game together since forming their partnership, completely dominating the Jazz on both offense and defense! Throughout the game, the Nuggets outrebounded the Jazz 51-37, including a 17-7 advantage in offensive rebounds, and outscored them 76-60 in the paint and 34-15 in fast-break points. The Nuggets' fierce defense forced the Jazz into 16 turnovers, converting those into 21 points; in…

Yesterday, the highly anticipated Los Angeles Lakers completed a blockbuster trade, reaching a deal with the Eastern Conference's Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers acquired Finney-Smith and Milton, sending Russell, Lewis, and three second-round picks (2027, 2030, 2031). The biggest gain for the Lakers in this trade is undoubtedly Finney-Smith, as they targeted his exceptional 3D attributes for this major transaction. Finney-Smith is an excellent 3D player, boasting not only solid defense but also an impressive three-point shooting percentage. His career three-point shooting rate exceeds 44%, making him a sharpshooter-level forward. Even Magic Johnson was thrilled by the Lakers' acquisition of Finney-Smith. In this trade, the Lakers did not part with significant assets beyond Russell, not even giving up a first-round draft pick. What many may have overlooked is that Milton, who came over in the trade with Finney-Smith, is also an outstanding role player. Some might think Milton was just an extra piece in this trade, easily overlooked. However, judging from his actual performance this season, Milton has proven himself capable of being a reliable rotation player. He simply did not receive ample playing time with the Nets. Milton had limited opportunities at the start of the season with the Nets, but as his playing time increased, so did his performance. Over the last 15 games, Milton averaged 24.6 minutes per game, scoring 11.2 points, grabbing 2.7 rebounds, dishing out 3.1 assists, and making 0.9 steals, with a field goal percentage of 47.3%, a three-point percentage of 38.9%, and a free throw percentage of 76.7%. Notably, in the past two games,…

The Mavericks lost again, plagued by too many injuries. Today, besides Doncic, Irving and Thompson were also out. The Mavericks ultimately lost 100-110 to the Kings on the road. The Kings have been struggling recently, suffering a six-game losing streak. Facing the Mavericks in this game can be considered as stopping their decline. Currently, the Mavericks' record continues to drop, with a record of 20 wins and 13 losses, ranking fourth in the West. The Clippers, fifth in the West, are very close. They are only 0.5 games apart. If the Clippers win against the Spurs in the next game, they will have a chance to return to the top half of the West. Both the Mavericks and the Rockets have fallen behind recently. The Mavericks due to injuries, while the Rockets lack a core player who can score in critical moments. This is why the Rockets have targeted Fox recently. Let's be honest, Fox is indeed quite strong. He seems to be wasting his talent in the Kings. If Fox and Van Vleet were to swap teams, the Rockets would be invincible. Today, the Kings started poorly, but despite the Mavericks' injury-ridden lineup, Dinwiddie took responsibility, along with Washington's heroic performance, and the Mavericks led the Kings by 14 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the gap in strength between the two sides became obvious. Dinwiddie's shooting went cold, and Washington stopped his offensive momentum. Instead, the Kings gained momentum, with Monk and DeRozan firing on all cylinders, Fox both organizing and attacking, and Sabonis wreaking…
