Durant's total assets, James' total assets, Jordan's total assets, no comparison, no embarrassment! NBA is not only the world's highest-level basketball league but also a place where athletes can become wealthy. It's important to know that even the average player's annual salary can easily exceed several million dollars, and those superstar players can sign billion-dollar contracts at will, with various endorsement advertisements pouring in.

Throughout NBA history, few players can be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jordan. LeBron James, with his legendary performances year after year, has been steadily approaching Jordan's legacy, sparking discussions about who is truly the greatest of all time. Looking at their entire careers, Jordan undoubtedly remains the more brilliant figure. However, when focusing solely on their performance at age 40, the comparison between the two may differ from what one might expect. This season, James has averaged 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists. So, how did Jordan perform at the same age? This year, James turned 40, making him the oldest player in the league. However, his on-court performance does not reflect his age. He has begun to step back, allowing players like Russell Westbrook to handle the ball more and Anthony Davis to become the focal point of the Lakers' system. At present, James is more akin to a top-tier second option, a key player capable of taking over games in crucial moments, but unable to maintain high-intensity competition throughout every game and the entire season. So far this season, James has maintained a commendable attendance record. He has played in 31 games, averaging 35 minutes per game and attempting 18.3 shots, which are solid numbers for a hardworking and durable player. He has delivered an impressive stat line of 24.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.7% and a three-point percentage of 38.2%. James ranks 16th in scoring, 31st in rebounding, and 4th in assists in the…

NBA Regular Season: Thunder Overturn Celtics to Win 15 Consecutive Games, SGA Scores 33 Points and Tatum 26+10 On January 6th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. In today's focus game, the defending champion Celtics visited the Thunder, who had won 14 consecutive games. The Celtics took a 3-point lead at the end of the first quarter and expanded it to a 10-point lead in the second quarter with a score of 30-23. The Thunder narrowed the gap by winning 6 points in the third quarter and took a 12-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter with a 24-8 run. The Celtics failed to catch up, and the Thunder eventually defeated the Celtics 105-92 at home. The Thunder has won 15 consecutive games, continuing to break their team record, ranking first in the West with a record of 30 wins and 5 losses; the Celtics' record is now 26 wins and 10 losses, remaining second in the East. Both sides' data:‌ Celtics - Tatum 26 points and 10 rebounds, Jaylen Brown 21 points, Porzingis 19 points and 9 rebounds, White 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Holiday 2 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, Horford 6 points and 8 rebounds.

In the final quarter of the game between the Nuggets and the Spurs with 5 minutes and 36 seconds remaining, Westbrook missed an open basket after receiving a back pass from Jokic under the basket. This shot was a complete airball, which led to Westbrook being ridiculed by many Spurs fans who uploaded videos of this moment. However, with 1 minute and 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Westbrook hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Jokic outside the arc, helping the Nuggets take the lead at 107-106. Unfortunately, in the last 14 seconds, Westbrook and Jokic's pick-and-roll did not result in a successful buzzer-beater for Jokic. Coach Malone had great trust in Westbrook, and he continued to play in overtime. In overtime, Westbrook only had one shot attempt, but he managed to grab one offensive rebound and two defensive rebounds, along with dishing out one assist. His defensive performance in overtime was particularly impressive, while Paul went scoreless in overtime, shooting 0-for-2. In the entire game, Westbrook played for 36 minutes, shooting 4-for-11 (36.4% FG), including 1-for-4 from three-point range, scoring 9 points, 6 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, and 1 turnover. On the other hand, Paul played for 31 minutes, shooting 1-for-9 (11.1% FG), including 0-for-3 from three-point range, scoring 2 points, 8 assists, and 2 turnovers. Paul's performance was clearly inferior to Westbrook's, especially considering Paul's salary is 11million,whileWestbrook′sisonly11 million, while Westbrook's is only 11million,whileWestbrook′sisonly3.3 million. Westbrook also achieved a milestone in this game, surpassing Nuggets legend Alex English to rank 22nd in…

Beijing Shougang played with ease at home, and Zhou Qi's performance after his comeback gave fans hope. However, there were many untold stories behind his absence from the game due to influenza, which made us rethink the issue of athlete health management. Beijing Shougang completely dominated the game, and Zhejiang Chouzhou Bank seemed powerless without their three main players. The entire game rhythm was firmly controlled by Shougang. Zhou Qi's performance in this game was quite outstanding, with a very high shooting percentage. He made 8 out of 12 shots, which is rare efficiency for a center position. However, Zhou Qi's rebounding statistics were indeed low, grabbing only 4 rebounds throughout the game, which is somewhat different from his previous performances. Coach Xu Limin said after the game that Zhou Qi's current state may only be 30 to 40 percent, which is surprising because it's not visible from his on-court performance. Beijing Shougang's overall strength is indeed strong, and even if Zhou Qi's condition has not fully recovered, the team can still easily win the game. This victory is significant for Shougang as it solidifies their position on the leaderboard. Although Zhejiang lost the game, their young players' performances are commendable. They showed great potential despite the absence of their main players. Shougang's defensive strategy was very successful in this game, limiting Zhejiang's offensive points and keeping their scoring at a low level. Zhou Qi missed six games due to influenza, which raised many fans' doubts at the time, but the actual situation is much more complicated than everyone imagined.…

On January 5th, Beijing time, an NBA regular season match took place, with the Warriors hosting the Grizzlies. Prior to this game, the Grizzlies had a record of 23 wins and 12 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference, while the Warriors had a record of 17 wins and 16 losses, ranking ninth in the West. Both teams have one thing in common: they both have more than 10 players in their rotation. However, when facing the Grizzlies, the Warriors seem like Li Kui and Li Gui (two characters from Chinese folklore, one real and one fake). Even with numerous injuries, the Grizzlies maintain an average score of 123.5 points per game, ranking first in the league, with both offensive and defensive efficiency among the top five in the league. They also lead the league in creating 24.9 free throw attempts per game on average, and their bench averages 49 points per game, which is also the highest in the league! The Warriors don't have as many injuries, but head coach Steve Kerr has yet to find a suitable starting lineup, including the bench. Players like Li Kyle either start or do not play at all, leaving no room for compromise. Interestingly, in their last encounter, the Warriors suffered a crushing 51-point defeat at the hands of the Grizzlies, with Curry scoring only 2 points on 7 attempts and losing by 41 points on the court! The two teams have been harboring resentment since the 2022 playoffs, and every time they meet, they tend to engage in high-scoring games. Before…

Curry has scored 573 points this season, what about Harden, Durant, and James? The games of 2024 have all come to an end, and the regular season has passed one-third of its schedule. So, let's take a look at how many points each star player has scored so far this season. Curry This season, Curry has played 26 games, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, scoring 22 points, grabbing 4.7 rebounds, dishing out 6.4 assists, and making 1.2 steals, with a shooting percentage of 43.7% and a three-point percentage of 40.1%, accumulating a total of 573 points so far. Compared to last season, Curry's statistics have declined to some extent this year, with his shooting percentage being the lowest in the past five seasons. It is precisely because of Curry's inconsistent performance that the Warriors are currently on the fringes of the play-in tournament. Durant There is no doubt that Durant is still one of the best scorers in the league, even with Booker and Beal, two great offensive players by his side, he can still average 27.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 51.2% and a three-point percentage of 41.1%. However, due to injury, Durant has only played 22 games so far, accumulating 610 points. Harden Due to Leonard's absence, Harden has proven to the outside world that he is still the unstoppable ball-dominant core. This season, Harden has played 32 games, averaging 21.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.3% and a three-point percentage of 34.7%, accumulating…

Fan Ziming is a player that's hard to understand; despite being on top salary, he often sits on the bench in a daze during games, yet trains fiercely. However, his performance during matches seems like a different person entirely, causing significant issues for the Beijing team. Recently, Beijing's basketball matches have been disappointing, with Fan Ziming, a top-paid player, not playing a single minute against Liaoning – a rare occurrence for someone earning the highest wage on the team. The game against Zhejiang was even more frustrating; after finally getting a chance to play, Fan Ziming was substituted after only nine minutes. His statistics of 4 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists from 5 shots weren't bad, but they were far from matching his high value. Zhou Qi can score 18 points and grab 4 rebounds in just 19 minutes on court, a stark contrast to Fan Ziming's efficiency. Xu Limin initially wanted Fan Ziming to play longer to give Zhou Qi some rest, but the score was quickly caught up by the opponents once Fan Ziming entered the game. During garbage time, Fan Ziming celebrated wildly after scoring a basket, behaving as if he had won the championship. This spectacle left fans unsure whether to laugh or cry, as it was embarrassing for a top-paid player to act this way. This season, Fan Ziming averages only 19 minutes per game, with 7.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. His shooting accuracy of 56.3% isn't bad, but these stats don't justify his top salary contract. If an average player on…

If it weren't for the last-minute goal conceded, Manchester City would have welcomed a long-awaited big win. In the 20th round of the Premier League against West Ham United, it was their first time in recent weeks to achieve two consecutive victories, with City's points reaching 34, and the team's form looking to be improving. However, it is somewhat regrettable that City ultimately failed to keep a clean sheet, conceding a goal in the 71st minute, resulting in a 4-1 outcome. And all this began with Guardiola's two substitutions. Guardiola brought on Gundogan and Walker in the 61st minute when the team was already leading by four goals. Their entry did not continue City's good form but instead gave West Ham United an opportunity. Gundogan's current ability to intercept in midfield has significantly declined, and Walker's speed can no longer be his greatest advantage. Just three minutes after coming on, Walker received a yellow card for a foul, giving the opponent a well-positioned free-kick from which Paqueta almost helped West Ham United change the score. Ten minutes after Walker and Gundogan came on, City's midfield was completely penetrated by three passes from West Ham United. Walker's defensive speed did not pose much of a restriction to the opponents, and Soucek's pass allowed Firkruge to make a central run and change the score. This goal conceded saw neither Walker nor Gundogan play their roles effectively, and the mentioned goal conceded and yellow card were just a microcosm of their entire game, especially Walker, whose role at City has clearly diminished, and…

The recent performance and ranking changes of the Clippers have been quite interesting. Although they are currently ranked seventh in the West, it seems that with the various issues facing the Mavericks, the Clippers could return to the top six in just a few days. The Clippers' current situation is actually quite delicate. Their record of 19 wins and 15 losses may not look particularly impressive, but maintaining such a win rate without Leonard has been quite commendable, considering the fierce competition in the league right now. The team's defense has consistently maintained a high standard, even without Leonard, the defensive core on the court. They still managed to rank in the top five in the league, which is quite intimidating. The combination of Harden and Westbrook can sometimes experience power outages on the offensive end, but overall, they are able to maintain the team's offensive firepower. Especially in critical moments, the experience of these two veterans always helps the team overcome difficulties. During this period, the Clippers' bench lineup has also shown considerable strength, especially young players like Mann. With more playing time, they have demonstrated significant potential and immediate combat effectiveness. Coach Tyronn Lue's rotation arrangements have been quite interesting. Without Leonard, he has managed to coach the team into a decent playing style, which is quite admirable. Now that Leonard is returning, the team's strength will definitely see a qualitative improvement. However, how to integrate him into the existing system is indeed something that needs careful consideration. The team's chemistry has been established quite well during this…
