Curry: I earn 740 million a year, James: I earn 930 million, he: Please step aside With the official end of 2024, Forbes recently released the top 10 highest-paid athletes of 2024, with three NBA players and five football players making the list. Let's take a look at which athletes made the cut. First, let's look at the basketball field. The NBA has three players on the list, namely Curry, Antetokounmpo, and James. Curry's annual income in 2024 reached 102million,equivalenttoabout744millionyuan,rankingninthonthislist.Amongthem,hissalaryforthisseasonisashighas102 million, equivalent to about 744 million yuan, ranking ninth on this list.

The NBA regular season continues with the game between the Nuggets and the Hawks. Before the game, almost all fans predicted that the Nuggets would easily win, given the disparity in strength between the two teams. As expected, after the game started, the Nuggets quickly took control of the court, dominating both offensively and defensively. Ultimately, after four quarters of play, the Nuggets easily defeated the Hawks 139-120. However, despite the Hawks' loss, Trae Young put on an impressive performance. In the entire game, Young played for 30 minutes, shooting 8 for 17, including 4 for 10 from three-point range and 10 for 12 from the free-throw line, scoring 30 points, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists. Whether it was personal offense or organizing the team, Young did everything he could, leaving the Nuggets with no solution. Some fans might ask, if Young performed so well, why did the Hawks still lose the game? The answer is quite simple: the Nuggets' Westbrook and Jokic were simply outstanding. I'm not sure how everyone evaluates these two players, but my evaluation is very straightforward: "Westbrook, still Megatron! 6 shots for 16+11 to become the team's offensive brain, Capela is beaten into a toy." This phrase couldn't be more fitting. First, let's talk about Jokic. In this game, Jokic played for 29 minutes, shooting 8 for 16 and making all 6 free throws, scoring 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 15 assists. On the court, Jokic was truly at ease, doing whatever he wanted. Offensively, against Capela's defense, Jokic could score however he wanted, whether…

The Houston Rockets faced off against the Dallas Mavericks in a decisive match, ultimately securing a victory with a score of 110-99, ending their two-game losing streak. This season, the Rockets have now achieved a double-kill over the Mavericks, with Luka Doncic continuing to sit out due to rest, and Washington also sustaining an ankle injury after playing only 16 minutes, forcing him to withdraw from the game. Without Washington's strong presence at the power forward position, the Mavericks' depth appeared to be stretched thin. Kyrie Irving was also off his game, performing poorly in the first half before finding some momentum in the second half. On the Rockets' side, they were without Ison and Amen, who was suspended for two games, leaving the "Door God" duo absent. Despite these absences, the Rockets' starting lineup remained intact, featuring Van Jordan, Jalen Green, Dillon, Smith, and Shen Jing. With Doncic out, the Rockets' strategy against the Mavericks was straightforward: focus on defending Irving, occasionally double-teaming him and forcing other Mavericks players to take on the offensive load. Initially, this tactic proved effective, but the Mavericks' outside shooting was accurate. Players like Dinwiddie, Thompson, and Washington were on fire, with LeFevre also scoring consistently, allowing the Mavericks to lead 30-24 in the first quarter, largely thanks to Jalen Green's scoring efforts. In the second quarter, the Mavericks extended their lead to as much as 40-30, a 10-point advantage. Coach Udoka was forced to bring back Jalen Green and other starters, pairing them with the scoring prowess of White Moore. The combination of…

When the news came that Guangsha had signed Boban Marjanovic, many fans expressed that the CBA was about to reach its grand finale. And now, Boban is on his way to Hangzhou, where he will represent Guangsha Men's Basketball Team in the CBA league. But does the CBA really come to an end because of Boban's arrival? It cannot be denied that Boban has a significant influence among Chinese basketball fans. After all, he used to be the tallest player in the NBA, standing at 2.24 meters tall and playing for the Spurs, earning the affection of head coach Gregg Popovich. However, in this era dominated by small-ball tactics, pure centers like Boban have gradually lost their status. After leaving the Spurs, he moved around to other NBA teams without securing consistent playing time. Now, at 36 years old, Boban's athletic ability and speed can no longer keep up with European and American leagues. Coming to the CBA seems like a good choice. Just look at Liu Chuanxing, who stands at 2.2 meters tall and struggled in both the Australian NBL and even the Japanese league, but upon returning to the CBA, he appears to be on track to becoming the top center, which shows how slow the overall offensive and defensive pace of the CBA is. However, Boban is already 36 years old, and considering Guangsha coach Wang Bo's use of players, it is likely that he will overuse Boban. So the question arises, can Boban's physical condition really last until the end of the season? More importantly, Boban's…

On January 2, 2025, Beijing time, the NBA regular season saw the 18-win and 13-loss Nuggets host the 18-win and 15-loss Hawks. This was the second meeting between the two teams this season. In their first encounter, the Nuggets won by 30 points on the road, with Jokic scoring 48 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists. Today, the Hawks were determined to seek revenge. Could they do it? The Nuggets were without Gordon, starting with Murray, Westbrook, Braun, Porter, and Jokic. The Hawks were missing Johnson, starting with Trae Young, Daniels, Matthews, Huijia, and Capela. In the first quarter, Porter hit a three-pointer, which was answered by a three-pointer from Daniels. Murray made a mid-range shot and Jokic scored a 2+1, giving the Nuggets an 8-3 lead. Daniels and Trae Young tied the score, but Porter, Jokic, and Braun extended the lead to seven points. Trae Young made three free throws and Capela scored with a hook, reducing the gap to two points. Porter made a layup, but Huijia and Daniels responded, leveling the score. Jokic and Murray then extended the lead back to seven points. Krajicek, Huijia, and Okongwu scored for the Hawks, while Strasser, Pickert, and Watson responded for the Nuggets, maintaining a six-point lead. Hunter and Trae Young scored for the Hawks, but Murray, Jokic, and Pickert responded, ending the first quarter with the Nuggets leading 40-33. In the second quarter, Matthews scored a layup, reducing the gap to five points. Jordan and Watson extended the lead to nine points for the Nuggets. Okongwu, Hunter, and Rody…

New Year, New Outlook: The Kings are Different, Without the Best Coach Mike Brown at the Helm, they艰难战胜残阵独行侠，终结了自己的六连败，本以为这场胜利将会成为他们吹响反击的号角，不曾想，球队的内部率先扛不住了。As the most direct beneficiary of Brown's dismissal, Fox also fell into social media, helplessly stating that he was unaware of the management's decision to fire the head coach, but still did not receive more sympathy from fans. It was after this scene of "no silver three hundred taels" was made public that the Kings also realized the reality of the team. Regardless of how the team performs in the future or what kind of indescribable games they play, Fox's mind will not stay in Sacramento Kings. From the moment he rejected a 3-year $165 million early renewal, he and his agent team have been planning for a long time. For this All-Star-level guard, many teams have pursued him on trade day, with the Lakers, Spurs, and Rockets becoming the main potential suitors. However, Pelinka does not have any attractive target players for the Kings, and the three future first-round picks are simply outmatched compared to the other two teams. Although the Spurs are interested in pursuing Fox, their current task is not to make a playoff push, but to continue training Wenyibanya and finding role players suitable for him. Currently, the rest of the 14 players in the team are capable of fighting, and if they want to show offensive aggression, they cannot rely solely on Fox. More draft picks may have other intentions. After a simple analysis and comparison, the Houston Rockets have the best chance of winning. First of all,…

After the game: Yang Ming exposes the inside story of the loss + Patton's debut time, Xu Limin's praise for Zhou Qi sparks controversy! It's not surprising that Liaoning's weakened lineup lost on Beijing Shougang's home court. Not only are many of Liaoning's domestic mainstays missing, but they also only have two foreign players, exposing their interior weakness to their opponents, so everyone can accept the loss. After the game, Liaoning coach Yang Ming revealed the inside story of the loss at the press conference and explained the real reason why Patton was not registered. Regarding why Liaoning lost to Beijing Shougang, Yang Ming mainly summarized two points: First, the lineup is incomplete, with experienced older players and young inexperienced players. In the third consecutive high-intensity game, the experienced older players had physical problems in the final moments, while the young players lacked match experience, so they couldn't hold on; Second, Beijing Shougang played with a full squad, not only with a complete domestic lineup, but also with the advantage of three foreign players, so Liaoning lost. Yang Ming also lavished praise on Beijing Shougang, calling them the strongest contenders for the championship this season. This sounds familiar! Yes, in the 2022-23 season, after Liaoning suffered a 42-point defeat to Zhejiang in the regular season, Yang Ming praised Zhejiang in the same way. However, in the finals when the two teams met, Yang Ming led Liaoning to a 4-0 sweep of their opponents to win the championship. So, how strong is Beijing Shougang really? If the two teams compete against…

Translation of the article content into English: James has been in the NBA since 03 and can be said to be the best number one pick in the NBA in the past 25 years. So far, his personal honors and influence are unparalleled. In these 7 seasons with the Cavaliers, he has led the team to the conference finals and even the finals many times, but he has never won a championship. This is indeed a very difficult thing for James. Therefore, it is reasonable for James to leave the Cavaliers. He opted out of his contract with the Cavaliers in the 10th season and became a free agent in the market. Let's take a look at some of the offers from the league's teams at that time. When James became a free agent, the league was definitely in an uproar, which is undeniable. At that time, 7 teams were extremely crazy, including the home team Cavaliers, Bulls, Heat, Nets, Clippers, New York Knicks, and Dallas Mavericks. The Cavaliers, in order to keep James, sent out their top management and owners, offering everything to meet James' conditions. Some fans even held up signs saying "Stay here, this is your future." The Mavericks went so far as to create a personal website for James, inviting fans to sign up on it, with the offer set by James himself. The Bulls, Clippers, Knicks, etc., all offered the same conditions, meeting everything James wanted. So why did he choose the Heat in the end? Let's first look at the stakes on both sides.…

Hey, guys! We're talking about something today that will definitely get you excited! Eric Pincus just dropped a bombshell on BR, saying that the Sacramento Kings have set their sights on the third pick in the draft, Jaden Ivey, from the Houston Rockets, and this time they're serious! This is really interesting. The Kings are even willing to part with their star player, De'Aaron Fox, just to get Ivey. This move has left me speechless! Seriously, Fox plays with real energy, his speed is like a rocket, averaging over 20 points per game is no joke. Let's talk about the trade proposal first, it's a big one! The Kings are offering Fox, Lyles, and McDermott, while the Rockets would have to give up Ivey, Whitmore, Green, Tate, and Landale, plus three first-round picks and swap rights. Wow, that's quite an array! To be honest, Fox's contract is about to expire, he'll need to renegotiate in the summer of 2026. Given his current value, he'll definitely want a max contract, which isn't pocket change! The Kings' management is being very calculating, afraid that spending this money might tie them down, so they'd rather exchange for some young players and draft picks now. On the Rockets' side, Ivey is a real gem! He plays with a certain flair, is ferocious on defense, and comprehensive on offense. His partner, Whitmore, is also a good player. If we could get these two, the Kings would really hit the jackpot! However, the Kings are also quite greedy, wanting Jabari Smith Jr. as well. That's wishful…

As the world's highest level of basketball competition, almost every player entering the NBA carries tremendous pressure, especially those selected in the lottery. Even with their outstanding physical talents and personal abilities, it is their first time entering a high-intensity league, so stage fright during their debut can be a big problem for many players. However, there are also those who start their careers with ease from their very first game, showing no signs of nervousness and ultimately leaving behind impressive debut statistics. Today, let's take a look at the top five debut performances in NBA history. Lamar Odom - 30 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks Odom is undoubtedly a player who transcends his era. As a forward, Odom's skills are quite comprehensive. He can dribble and organize, has a decent outside shooting touch, and is equally imposing on defense. Whether it's top defense against ball handlers or targeting off-ball opponents, Odom can make significant contributions to his team. Such a player would undoubtedly shine in today's league, as long as they have stable shooting and good defensive capabilities, they are already very popular. However, Odom still managed to play in the league for 14 years with his all-around skills and solid fundamentals. In the 1999-2000 season, Odom started his career with an eye-catching performance. In his debut against the Seattle SuperSonics, Odom unleashed his firepower, going 10-for-18 from the field to score 30 points, showcasing his all-around scoring ability. He also grabbed 12 rebounds, dished out 3 assists, and completed 2 steals and 2 blocks, contributing to…
