Continuing to create, let's talk about the Hall of Fame and retiring jerseys. Currently, only four people can guarantee this treatment: James, Curry, Antetokounmpo, and Jokic. Durant definitely doesn't qualify. How to say it? Durant won two FMVPs with the Warriors, but he wasn't the leader of the Warriors, which makes it difficult. Of course, the Hall of Fame is definitely locked in. James James has played for the Cavaliers for 11 seasons and won a championship for the Cavaliers. In three seasons with the Heat, he also won two championships for the Heat. Although he is now playing for the Lakers, he also brought a championship to the Lakers. Unexpectedly, at least the Cavaliers will hold a retirement ceremony for James. As for the Heat, I think it might be possible. The Lakers probably won't, after all, there are too many big names in Lakers history, like Johnson, Kobe, etc. If the current number one player in the league doesn't enter the Hall of Fame after retiring, that would be ridiculous. Curry Curry has been playing since the 09 season and has already played for 15 seasons. He is also one of the representatives of one person and one city in NBA history. He has won four championships for the Warriors. At such a level of cornerstone player, if the Warriors don't hold a jersey retirement ceremony for Curry, I believe Warriors fans won't agree. Moreover, during these seasons with the Warriors, Curry has increased the market value of the Warriors by dozens of times, showing the influence of…

The ranking in the Western Conference is crucial for the Clippers, as it directly affects Leonard's return speed and whether they can reach the championship level in the playoffs. Leonard has confirmed his return on January 5th. Currently, the Clippers are ranked fifth in the West, slightly ahead of the Lakers and Nuggets. Despite the absence of their top star Leonard, the Clippers have managed to maintain a top-five record in the West, exceeding expectations. The leadership abilities of Harden and Powell have been quite impressive. With stats of 29+7 and 29+5, Harden has indeed delivered on his promise, giving you a real chance to make the All-Star team. Without Leonard this season, the Clippers' offense and defense have not yet reached their peak. Why have the Clippers been able to achieve a top-five record in the West? According to NBA experts from American media, one of the most important reasons is their collective effort and excellent defense. This season, the Clippers have a defensive efficiency of 108.2, ranking fifth in the league. With Leonard out, every player on the Clippers must give their all on both offense and defense, making the contributions of role players particularly important. Players like Zubac, Coffey, Little Derrick Jones, and Dunn have performed exceptionally well. Officially reported by an NBA journalist from American media, Clippers guard Norman Powell has averaged 28.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.8 steals over the last five games, with a shooting percentage of 52.8% and a three-point percentage of 48.5%. Powell has indeed put up sharp numbers and…

Cleveland Cavaliers Set NBA Records with 149 Points and 23 Three-pointers, While Denver Nuggets' Jokic and Murray Give Their All in a Revealing Loss On December 28th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Denver Nuggets visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers, reigning as the league's dominant force, sought revenge after the Nuggets had previously defeated them in their first encounter of the season. The Cavaliers unleashed a relentless offensive assault, scoring an impressive 80 points in the first half and establishing a significant 21-point lead. Despite the Nuggets' efforts to match the Cavaliers' intensity in the second half, the Cavaliers maintained control of the game with their scorching three-point shooting accuracy. Ultimately, the Cavaliers secured a comfortable victory over the Nuggets with a final score of 149-135. The Nuggets were without their key player, Gordon, due to injury, prompting Coach Malone to once again promote Westbrook to the starting lineup. In the face of the formidable league leaders, the Nuggets displayed almost their strongest offensive performance of the season: 39 out of 53 field goals were assisted, with a field goal percentage of 56.4%, and they made 15 three-pointers at a 48.4% clip. However, the Cavaliers, who ranked first in the league in offensive efficiency, shooting percentage, three-point percentage, and true shooting percentage, were more than ready for the challenge. They scored 54 field goals with 40 assists, achieving a field goal percentage of 56.3% and making 23 three-pointers at a 47.9% rate, effortlessly matching the Nuggets' high-level offensive output. The Cavaliers had a balanced scoring effort…

NBA regular season is in full swing, and the league's landscape is taking shape, with some teams rejoicing and others facing challenges. Taking the Western Conference as an example, young teams like the Thunder, Rockets, and Grizzlies are forging ahead and firmly occupying the top 3 spots in the West, with a promising situation; while many powerhouse teams such as the Lakers, Clippers, Suns, and Warriors are plagued by injuries, trapped in the play-in tournament area, and their situations are not optimistic! The Dallas Mavericks have upgraded their lineup around the East European combination, but their championship prospects are more dangerous than imagined. Luka, endowed with extraordinary talent and achieving fame at a young age, has made many people doubt whether he can adapt to the intensity of the NBA due to his plump physique and injury risks. This was also the reason why the Atlanta Hawks completed the blockbuster trade of swapping Luka for Trae Young during the 2018 draft. Fortunately, the Dallas team successfully picked up a bargain, and since Luka joined the NBA in 2018, he has completed the torch relay with the old driver Dirk, leading the Mavericks step by step to rebuild their glory - first returning to the playoffs, then reaching the Western Conference Finals floor, and last season proudly advancing to the Finals, losing to the Celtics but winning the future. In this process, Luka has been selected to the All-NBA First Team for five consecutive years, won the scoring title in the regular season, and is a frequent contender for the MVP!…

The Phoenix Suns are eager to win the championship this season, but their record and ranking are not very good. At the beginning of the season, the Suns were ranked first in the West with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, but after Kevin Durant got injured, it became particularly difficult for the Suns to win games. Therefore, everyone in the league knows that with Durant, the Suns are a championship-level strong team; without Durant, they are just a weak team. This is the embodiment of a superstar's leadership ability. Not only does Durant have strong leadership skills, but he also has a keen eye for talent. He has indeed won big with his bet, scoring 72 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 14 assists. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic, who shot 3 out of 11, could only feel helpless. In the matchup between the Suns and the Nuggets, Devin Booker was absent due to injury, while the Nuggets had a full-strength lineup. However, Durant, Beal, and Tyus Jones all exploded, combining for 72 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists to lead the team to victory. Despite Jokic's impressive performance of 25 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals, it wasn't enough to save the game for the Nuggets. Typically, when Jokic has fewer than 5 assists, the Nuggets struggle to win; when he has more than 10 assists, they easily secure victories. Durant and Beal were particularly heroic in the crucial fourth quarter, with Beal continuously making key shots and demonstrating great offensive prowess. The Nuggets' starting…

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…

The Christmas Day game has concluded with the Nuggets losing to the Suns by a score of 100-110. The match was filled with ups and downs; the first quarter had a close score, the second quarter remained competitive, the Suns took control in the third quarter, and although the Nuggets played well in the early part of the fourth quarter, they made frequent mistakes and their shooting accuracy dropped significantly, ultimately leading to their defeat. In terms of statistics, Jokic scored 25 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out 2 assists, and made 2 steals, while Westbrook put up an impressive stat line of 17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 turnovers. Porter contributed 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 turnovers, and Murray added 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists with 4 turnovers. In fact, the two teams have faced each other before, with the Suns losing by a significant margin of 27 points. However, in this game, it was unexpected that the Nuggets were unable to come out on top. Looking at the entire game, the Nuggets lost primarily due to four reasons. Firstly, they had a high number of turnovers, with a total of 16, mainly in the latter half of the fourth quarter, which led to their downfall. Secondly, the Nuggets' outside shooting was severely off, with only 8 successful shots out of 29 attempts. Thirdly, the Suns clearly had experience dealing with Jokic and focused on cutting off his connection with his teammates. Despite Jokic's ability to score high points, he was unable to effectively…

Here it comes! Lakers' 3 first-round trades are here! Snatching from the Warriors, Thunder, and Nuggets!? Heavy news! Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes! They really came! The Lakers' interested team strides towards us with a strong pace, proudly and confidently! They are full of sincerity, with a majestic demeanor and money in their pockets!! Money! Money! Money! Important things need to be repeated three times! NBA insider reporter Xiao S talked about the Lakers' potential trade situation on a show. "My sources within the Lakers' management told me that they are willing to put out those (three first-round draft picks) in potential trades, but they hope to get one or more players they believe can immediately integrate into the current team, and continue to play under Coach Redick's guidance for the next 3-5 years." Yes, those three first-round picks that were cherished like treasures, the Lakers have finally decided to put them up for trade. In the past, many teams coveted the Lakers' three first-round picks, only to be rejected by the Lakers without mercy. Those three first-round picks were the last hope of the Lakers' village, the final bottom line, as valuable as LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and no one could sway them. However, two consecutive years of No. 17 draft picks made the Lakers realize the reality. One Xi Fei was not even as good as the crown prince and was directly sent to the cold palace, while one Ke Zong only looked beautiful, and the most pleasant surprise was the undrafted rookie…

This season, many star players have seen a drop in their average scoring. Players like LeBron James and Stephen Curry have dropped to an average of 23 points per game. Two-time scoring champion Joel Embiid has also been affected by injuries, averaging only 22 points this season. Last season's top scorer Luka Doncic has averaged 28.7 points so far in the regular season, not quite reaching 30 points. On one hand, his efficiency is slightly lower than before, and on the other hand, the Mavericks have more players capable of playing, with the addition of a new player, Thompson, who can help share the scoring load. As for James Harden, who scored exceptionally well a few years ago, he is no longer able to return to his previous form. Although the team leader Kawhi Leonard has yet to return, Harden has to lead the team forward alone, with more opportunities to decide how to score. However, Harden has already adapted to his new role and no longer sees himself as a pure scorer. He is now more focused on organizing and connecting plays. This season, Harden averages 21.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 8.5 assists, which may seem average, but his influence on the court remains significant. Of course, there are also star players whose average scoring has skyrocketed this season, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of them. Currently, Antetokounmpo averages 32.5 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 6.2 assists, ranking first in the league in scoring. However, compared to previous seasons, the depth of the Bucks' roster has started to decline, with…
