The Los Angeles Clippers have been on a roll recently, with Leonard returning and finding his best shooting form after a few games. The Clippers then went on to win by 59 points in one game and 29 points in another, totaling an 88-point margin of victory in back-to-back games, tying the NBA record for the largest winning margin. Harden, Leonard, and Powell, among other key players, were able to take it easy after playing just three quarters, with Harden excelling in passing and organization, while Leonard and Powell scored easily on offense, making it difficult for opponents to stop them. At 35 years old, averaging 21+6+8, who is the better shooting guard in history between Harden and Wade? ESPN released Harden's statistics for this season (at 35 years old) and compared them to Wade's, asking who is the better shooting guard in history between Harden and Wade? After changing his playing style in recent years, Harden's scoring numbers have indeed dropped significantly compared to his time with the Rockets. However, Harden's current average of 21+6+8 is something that many All-Star guards can't achieve in their entire careers. This season, Harden is averaging 21.4 points + 5.8 rebounds + 8.0 assists + 1.4 steals + 0.6 blocks, with very impressive stats and team records. It's worth noting that Harden's defensive efficiency this season is 106.6, ranking 40th in the league, which is also the best defensive level of his career. Like Westbrook, Harden has transitioned to focus on passing, organizing, assisting, and defense after his transformation. Westbrook's defense has also…

In reading an article, Wade stated that in the post-Jordan era, from a strict and essential perspective, only LeBron James and Kobe Bryant can truly be considered as superstars. In my mind, James and Kobe are on par with Jordan as historical top-tier figures. I completely agree with this viewpoint. From his rookie days to the present, James has given fans a sense of dominating the world. Before the age of 35, James was capable of anything, performing various tomahawk dunks, breakthroughs, and high-difficulty blocks, essentially able to soar through the air and move freely. However, since turning 35, he has indeed been gradually declining, with a less efficient scoring rate than before. Yet, his assists have been increasing, averaging as high as 9 per game this season. To date, James has won a total of 4 championships, 4 MVP awards, 4 Finals MVP awards, and is the all-time leading scorer in history. These achievements are the most impressive, and currently, he is the only player in the league to have achieved such statistics. Let's talk about influence. Without James in the NBA Finals, viewership rates drop below 60 percent. However, when James is in the Finals, NBA viewership rates soar above 75 percent, and even regular-season viewership rates are high. Moreover, he has consistently invested in basketball projects for charity and owns his own basketball school, providing free tuition and accommodation for children who dream of playing basketball. He has donated a staggering amount of approximately 134milliontocharity,whileearningonly134 million to charity, while earning only 134milliontocharity,whileearningonly237 million in his 15 years…

With the continuous evolution of NBA gameplay, scoring has become much easier for players today compared to a decade ago. This season alone, more than 40 players in the league are averaging over 20 points per game. Considering that superstar pairings have become commonplace in the current NBA, we've seen numerous high-scoring duos emerge, with some teams boasting an average combined score of over 50 points. For instance, this season's Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have a combined average of 58.6 points. However, since the regular season is far from over, their performance may still fluctuate. Excluding this season, let's take a look at the highest-scoring duos in NBA history. Anthony & Iverson (52.1 points per game in the 08 season) In the mid-2006-2007 season, Allen Iverson was traded to the Nuggets. Although he was no longer at his peak, he still had considerable scoring ability. At the same time, the Nuggets' star player Carmelo Anthony had matured, forming a formidable outside shooting duo with Iverson. By the 2007-2008 season, both their averages ranked in the top five in the league, with Iverson averaging 26.4 points (third in the league) and Anthony following closely with 25.7 points (fourth in the league). Under the leadership of Anthony and Iverson, the Nuggets won five more games in the regular season than the previous year. However, due to fierce competition in the West, their ranking actually dropped to eighth in the West, and they were eliminated in the first round that year. James & Wade (52.2 points per game in the 11…

The selection of the NBA's best lineup in 2006 was a fierce competition that has been fondly remembered by fans for its intensity and the luxurious nature of the lineup. That season, the league was filled with stars who delivered astonishing performances, making the competition for the best lineup particularly intense. Let's take a look at just how luxurious that lineup was! The members of the first team were Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, and Shaquille O'Neal. These five were not only superstars but also all had the honor of winning the regular-season MVP award, which was unprecedented in NBA history, demonstrating the strength and luxury of this lineup. Nash averaged 18.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game. Under his leadership, the Suns pioneered the small-ball storm and running-and-gunning era, achieving remarkable results in the regular season. He also won the MVP award for the second consecutive year, and his contributions to the team were immeasurable by mere statistics. Kobe Bryant had the highest scoring average of his career, averaging 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, creating numerous scoring miracles such as scoring 81 points against the Raptors and 62 points in three quarters against the Mavericks. Despite the Lakers finishing seventh in the Western Conference, Kobe's personal performance was impeccable. He was the scoring champion of that season and the first player since Jordan to average 35 points per game in a single season. LeBron James gradually became a superstar in the league that year, averaging 31.4 points, 7 rebounds, and…

Certainly! Here is the translation of the article content into English: Continue writing, I've always wanted to write about Harden, Wade, and Kobe. After all, these three are the greatest top scorers in the NBA besides Jordan. Harden is also 35 years old this season, so let's take a look at some data from these three players at this age. 35-year-old Harden Harden was selected as the third pick in the 2009 draft. The 2009 season indeed produced many star-level players, such as Curry, DeRozan, and Harden. He won the Sixth Man of the Year award with the Thunder and reached his peak with the Rockets, where he won scoring titles, assist titles, and MVP awards. Up to now, with the Clippers, due to Leonard's absence, it can be said that the Clippers have been carried forward by Harden alone, reaching the 7th rank in the West, which is an acceptable record. This season, he averages 22.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game. So far, Harden has entered the twilight of his career, and it will be difficult for him to win a championship in the future. 35-year-old Wade Wade retired at the age of 37. In the later seasons, Wade's decline was visible to the naked eye. At his peak, Wade was truly invincible, especially during the 2006 season when he led the team to a championship on his own, although he had O'Neal, who was already on the decline, averaging only 13.7 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. Throughout his career, he won 3 championships, 1…

In the new century, only three players can truly be called the best shooting guards in the league: Kobe, Wade, and Harden. At their peak, these three players each have their own strengths, and it's hard to say who is stronger or weaker. So let's talk about the performance of the three top shooting guards at the age of 35, when they are at the end of their careers. Harden With George's departure and Leonard's absence, 35-year-old Harden once again transformed into a ball-dominant role this season, not only shouldering the offensive responsibilities but also responsible for organizing and connecting. So far, Harden can average 22 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.1 assists, and 1.5 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 38.9% and a three-point percentage of 34.5%. Although the efficiency is not high, Harden still helps the Clippers stabilize in the play-in area, currently ranking seventh in the West with a record of 17 wins and 13 losses. Wade In the 2017-18 season, Wade joined the Cavaliers to team up with James again to challenge for the championship. However, due to poor chemistry and locker room issues, he chose to return to the Heat in the middle of the season. In fact, at the age of 35, Wade could no longer fly and dodge like he did in his prime, and the decline in competitive form made him more of a sixth man for the team, averaging 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 0.9 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.8% and a three-point percentage of…
