In today's NBA arena, the flames of the 2024-25 season have already burned through about 30 games, with various strong teams vying for dominance in fiercely competitive matches. The race for the MVP has entered a white-hot stage, while the title of scoring champion has also become a focal point of attention. Among them, superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are fiercely competing for this supreme honor. It must be said that the battle for the scoring title this season is particularly significant for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the star player of the Bucks. If he successfully claims the crown, it will leave an indelible mark in NBA history - becoming the first legendary star to collect all major NBA honors. It should be noted that even legendary figures in the basketball world like LeBron James and Michael Jordan have not achieved this feat. At 30 years old, Giannis is in the prime of his career, with his competitive form at its peak. Referring to the long and illustrious careers of stars like James, Durant, and Curry, with Giannis' physical prowess and competitive state, there are at least another five years of peak performance ahead. And after this contract ends, with his abilities, signing another maximum salary contract is almost a certainty. Looking back at Giannis' career, it is truly one filled with honors. He holds one championship trophy and was awarded the Finals MVP, which is the best recognition of his dominance in the finals. Two regular-season MVPs prove that he has always been one of the most…

Recently, Shanghai men's basketball team head coach Lu Wei personally stepped forward to dispel rumors about the team's big foreign aid, Lofton, clarifying some misunderstandings about him. This incident not only demonstrated the team's trust and support for their foreign aid but also highlighted Lofton's significant role within the Shanghai team. At the same time, Lofton's outstanding performance on the court also proved that Wang Zhen's previous decision to recruit him was clearly correct. Previously, there were some online memes about Lofton, such as his love for potato chips. Although these seemingly trivial jokes, they did influence the public's perception of Lofton's professional attitude to a certain extent. This time, Lu Wei personally dispelled the rumors, aiming to restore Lofton's true image and let fans see a hardworking and focused professional basketball player. In fact, Lofton's basketball career has not been smooth sailing. He failed to establish himself in the NBA due to his height, but this does not mean he lacks basketball talent or competitive ability. On the contrary, Lofton has always maintained a high level of focus and continuous effort in the field of basketball, constantly seeking breakthroughs and progress. The opportunity provided by the Shanghai men's basketball team gave him a new stage to showcase his skills in the CBA league.

When the Warriors host their old rivals, the Lakers, the entire basketball world boils over with excitement. This match is not only a test of strength between two powerhouse teams but also a crucial battle concerning morale and rankings. The Lakers, at that time ranked seventh in the West, were moving forward with an unstoppable momentum. Looking back at their recent performances, they had won four out of five games, with their team in top form. The players on the court were in perfect sync, showcasing their high level of skill in both offense and defense. On the other hand, the Warriors were in a completely different situation. In the same five games, they only managed to secure one victory, with the remaining four ending in defeat, and their poor form had plunged the team into difficulties.

Harden: Only four people in the NBA have truly influenced the world, and I am not qualified yet Throughout NBA history, many epoch-making superstars have emerged, from Russell to Dr. J, from Jordan to Kobe, from James to Curry. The existence of these players has not only made basketball one of the most popular sports but also made the NBA one of the most influential sporting events. However, when it comes to the true global influence of the NBA, there are very few who can reach that level, and they must possess a combination of skills, popularity, quality, and image. Recently, James Harden, a star player for the Clippers, was interviewed, during which he discussed the four players he considers to be the most influential. Harden also stated that only their influence could reach a worldwide scale. Let's take a look at who is on Harden's list. Jordan As we all know, Jordan is hailed as the "God of Basketball." His career is filled with legendary achievements, including six championships with the Chicago Bulls, six Finals MVPs, five regular-season MVPs, ten scoring titles, and more. It's worth noting that these accomplishments were achieved despite Jordan retiring twice. Jordan not only left a deep mark on the court but also extended his influence beyond basketball. His "Air" image has become part of global culture, and his shoe series, "Air Jordan," remains a benchmark for fashion and basketball culture to this day. Kobe As one of the greatest players of this era, Kobe's career was equally brilliant, with five NBA championships, two…

In the glittering NBA universe, the 2009 draft undoubtedly gave birth to two of the brightest stars - Stephen Curry and James Harden. They have each written their own legendary chapters in the basketball hall with extraordinary talent and relentless effort. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, these two former young men have entered the twilight of their careers, yet they still shine brightly on the court, becoming undisputed leaders in their respective positions, leading their teams to break through the waves in the league. Stephen Curry, the soul figure of the Golden State Warriors, his name has long been closely linked to the glory of this city. However, even such a legend cannot escape the ravages of time. At 36 years old, he faced unprecedented challenges this season. Although he still proves his worth with an average of 21.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game, the once surging scoring power seems no longer so easily accessible. His shooting percentage dropped to 43.5%, and his three-point percentage was only 40.3%. Behind these numbers is Curry's countless struggles and resilience to regain his past form. His performance is sometimes like a god descending, and at other times like an ordinary person struggling. This unpredictable state is directly reflected in the Warriors' record - 15 wins and 13 losses, ranking eighth in the West, which makes fans both worried and expectant. In contrast, the 35-year-old Harden seems to have ushered in the second spring of his career. In the Clippers, he jumped from a supporting role to…

As the NBA 2024-2025 season reaches its halfway point, a heated discussion about the best starting lineup of the season is unfolding among basketball fans. The progress of the season not only witnesses the growth and transformation of the players but also allows us to clearly see the superstars shining at the top of the league. They write the basketball legends of this era with their sweat and efforts, and perhaps the best starting lineup of this season is already emerging. First, let's focus on the two outstanding guards - Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Dončić, the star player of the Mavericks, once struggled at the beginning of the season, but with his indomitable spirit and infinite love for basketball, he quickly adjusted his state and found himself again. His comprehensive statistics of an average of 28.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.2 assists not only demonstrate his strength as a top ball-dominant guard but also lead the Mavericks out of the trough with an 18-10 record, firmly ranking fourth in the West. However, Dončić's journey is not smooth sailing, and the challenge of attendance rate is like a huge stone blocking his path to the best starting lineup. Every absence tests his will and determination, but it is these challenges that make Dončić's story more touching and fill the fans with expectations for him. On the other hand, Alexander of the Thunder is making an unstoppable push for a spot in the best starting lineup. He not only shows a dominant performance on both offense and defense but also leads…
