Injuries and age are the biggest enemies of NBA players. Overcoming the impact of injuries and age to maintain peak performance is the most challenging task. In the past, NBA games had a higher defensive intensity, and many players would experience a rapid decline in their statistics and abilities after reaching the age of 35, which was inevitable. However, with the decrease in game intensity, improvements in medical conditions, and better load management, many players are now able to maintain peak statistics and dominance even after the age of 35. Among the three superstar players—LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry—who has shown the most noticeable decline this season? LeBron James, the number one draft pick in 2003, has been playing from 2003 to 2025 and has turned 40 years old. Since he turned 36, many fans have said that James is declining, but his statistics and abilities have remained impressive and powerful each year. This season, at the age of 40, what are his statistics? According to NBA statistics, LeBron James is averaging 23.8 points + 7.7 rebounds + 8.8 assists + 0.8 steals + 0.5 blocks per game, with a field goal percentage of 50.7%, a three-point percentage of 38.6%, and a free throw percentage of 76.9%. James' average of 23+7+8 this season may not be particularly outstanding, but it is very balanced and comprehensive, and his efficiency remains at the peak level of his career. It's important to note that James is 40 years old, ten years older than Jokic and Antetokounmpo, yet he is still putting…

On January 11th, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced that the Lakers' home game against the Spurs and the Clippers' home game against the Hornets scheduled for tomorrow have both been postponed. This was foreseeable, as Los Angeles is currently experiencing a wildfire disaster, with many players' homes destroyed by the fires. Leonard had previously returned to Los Angeles to be with his family. In response to this situation, the NBA has taken action by not only postponing two games but also donating $1 million to support those affected by the disaster. The NBA has also stated that it will work with the Lakers and Clippers to support long-term aid and reconstruction efforts. In this wildfire disaster, many people's homes were destroyed, including some players' homes, such as Lakers head coach Redick's rental property, leaving many homeless. In Los Angeles, the NBA has two teams: the Clippers and the Lakers. Among them, the Lakers' previous game had already been postponed. This time, the NBA officially announced the postponement of two more games, both involving the Clippers and the Lakers, with the rescheduled dates to be determined later. Subsequently, the Clippers also announced that they would not continue to postpone games, and the next game against the Heat would return to normal, except for the game against the Hornets, which has been postponed. The Clippers' team reporter then revealed the reason for the postponement: the Clippers' staff are all involved in disaster relief efforts, leading to a shortage of personnel. An NBA game requires many staff members, but since many people's…

The Nuggets defeated the Clippers 126-103 in a back-to-back game, securing their position as fourth in the Western Conference. This victory was achieved even without Jokic, and Westbrook has truly proven himself this year. In just 29 minutes on the court, he scored 19 points with 6 rebounds and 8 assists, boasting an impressive +18 plus-minus rating. Since Malone promoted Westbrook to the starting lineup, he has seized the opportunity. If Murray hadn't been injured, Westbrook would have been in a sixth man role, tasked with leading the Nuggets' weak bench. Murray's injury provided Westbrook with a chance to showcase his skills, and his performance as a starter has indeed been strong. After Murray's return, the Nuggets did not adjust their starting lineup, keeping both Murray and Westbrook in the backcourt. The fact remains that Murray is a natural scorer, and his playing style does not conflict with Westbrook's. Additionally, Westbrook's remarkable defensive capabilities this season have been evident, with Nuggets reporters noting that he has limited opposing players' three-point shooting percentage to a mere 29.4%, ranking him among the league's top defenders. Despite criticism of Westbrook's defense and claims that his statistics don't translate into wins, he has delivered a starting performance that defies his detractors, along with an impressive win rate. When Westbrook starts, the Nuggets have a record of 11 wins and 4 losses. On average, he contributes 14.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, demonstrating a well-rounded offensive and defensive game. His shooting accuracy stands at an impressive 53.5%, with a true…

The Los Angeles Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks, who were on a five-game losing streak and missing their two core players, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Despite this, the Lakers suffered a defeat at the hands of an undermanned Mavericks team, allowing them to end their losing streak. The final 86 seconds of the game turned into garbage time, with LeBron James and others being benched as the Lakers essentially surrendered early. James scored 18 points with 10 rebounds and 8 assists, while Anthony Davis had 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks, but their efforts were in vain. For the Mavericks, Washington scored 22 points with 8 rebounds, Clay had 13 points, and Dinwiddie contributed 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. In this game, the absence of the East European duo of Doncic and Irving saw Clay leading the team into battle. In the first quarter, both sides engaged in a fierce battle, with James performing an aerial switch and a big loop dunk over LeFevre, igniting everyone's passion. James continued to showcase his skills with a powerful dunk after a successful move, indicating he was in great form. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 3 points with a score of 27-24. In the second quarter, Grimes and Reeves exchanged three-pointers, with the Lakers' young player Christie also performing well. Davis' performance was average, and the lead changed hands several times. By halftime, the Mavericks had overtaken the Lakers by 5 points. In the third quarter, with James off…

Exaggeratedly, last season he had the best step-back three-pointer shooting percentage in the league! In…

On January 10th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the competition in the West remained fierce. After this round of matches, the rankings changed once again. Among them, the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies directly and won three consecutive victories while maintaining second place; the Warriors successfully stopped their decline and held on to the top ten positions; the Suns also won the game successfully, avoiding further widening of the gap; the Clippers reaped what they sowed, falling to eighth after two consecutive defeats.

Hield hit five three-pointers for 19 points; while reserves Waters and Santos also hit three-pointers in succession, helping the team widen the gap. With such outstanding performances…

Translation: Laying all cards on the table, no more pretense. According to NBA insider Sidery, Butler has informed all teams within the league that he will only sign a contract extension with the Suns. In short, Butler only wants to be traded from the Heat to the Suns, and other suitors should give up now. Once this news broke, even the thickest-skinned suitor would know when to back off, leaving the Heat with no choice but to deal with the Suns. The back-and-forth between Butler and Heat president Pat Riley is fascinating enough to make a movie about it. Keyboard warrior MVP and former NBA player Kendrick Perkins, who seems to have overheard something from under someone's bed, claims that the Suns have prepared a two-year, 121millioncontractextensionforButler.OncetheSunsacquireButler,Durantisalsoexpectedtotearfullysignatwo−year,121 million contract extension for Butler. Once the Suns acquire Butler, Durant is also expected to tearfully sign a two-year, 121millioncontractextensionforButler.OncetheSunsacquireButler,Durantisalsoexpectedtotearfullysignatwo−year,120 million contract extension during the offseason this summer. Whether it's to improve the team's current predicament (16 wins, 19 losses, 12th in the West) or to ensure Durant stays, getting Butler from the Heat has become an urgent matter for the Suns. Based on previous reports, the Suns plan to trade Beal for Butler, and if traded to the Heat, Beal is willing to waive his no-trade clause. The problem is that the Heat don't want Beal. Playing for the Suns, he has lost his All-Star luster, averaging less than 20 points per game, and is now just a substitute. His salary for the next two years totals around $100 million, which an…

A devastating fire has left many celebrities and public figures in Los Angeles without their luxurious homes, including NBA star Paul George. The wildfire, which has spiraled out of control, has caused significant damage to numerous mansions, with some being completely destroyed. According to American media reports, the aftermath of the wildfire has left abandoned luxury cars scattered across the roads, forcing rescue teams to push them aside like garbage to clear paths for rescue efforts. Paul George, who is currently playing in Philadelphia, has also suffered a significant loss. Although he is away from his family, his wife and children reside in Los Angeles. It was during his time with the Clippers in 2019 that George purchased the mansion that has now been reduced to ashes. The property, which spans approximately 930 square meters over three floors, features seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms. Additionally, it boasts an elevator, swimming pool, climate-controlled wine cellar, and basketball court.

The lights in the Nuggets' general manager's office were still on late into the night. Calvin Booth sat in his leather chair, with the monitor in front of him flashing recent team analytics reports. He reviewed Murray's season stats for the third time: an average of 17.8 points per game, a shooting percentage of only 41.2%, and a three-point shooting percentage that had dropped to 34.5%. This data sheet made the experienced general manager frown. "We need change," Booth murmured to himself. On the big screen at Ball Arena, a highlight reel of Murray's season was playing on loop, but those images seemed to come from another time and space. Since the start of the new season, the guard wearing the No. 27 jersey has frequently been in a slump, with once astonishing crossovers and fadeaway jump shots now often missing the basket. Sources revealed that the Nuggets management has launched a groundbreaking plan - they are in deep contact with the Suns, attempting to trade Murray, Porter Jr., and a first-round draft pick for Kevin Durant and Allen. Once this news broke, it immediately caused a sensation within the league. Imagine the "Grim Reaper" Durant, standing at 2.08 meters tall, donning the Nuggets' dark blue jersey and launching an offensive with Jokic in the same frontcourt area. Jokic's signature "Yao-style pass" combined with Durant's one-on-one moves would be enough to break any defensive system. The data shows that Durant averaged 31.2 points per game this season, with a shooting percentage as high as 52.3%, which is rare even among…
