NBA stars are known for their exceptional skills and unique personalities, becoming idols in the hearts of basketball fans around the world. But what were these superstars like in their childhood? Let's travel through time together to take a look at the childhood photos of these NBA legends and feel their transformation from cute kids to court legends. LeBron James LeBron James is a name that is almost universally recognized in the basketball world. The young LeBron in the photo looks not much different from his current appearance, which is why fans often tease him for being "mature beyond his years." His dark skin, bright eyes, warm smile, and those adorable ears make it easy to recognize who he is. Yao Ming When we talk about Yao Ming, we tend to associate him with stability and humility. However, the childhood Yao had an unknown side. The young boy in the photo, wearing a red leather jacket and yellow casual pants, looks like a rock singer. This outfit makes one wonder if Yao Ming had chosen a musical path, would he have become a shining star as well? Dwyane Wade Wade is undoubtedly one of the handsome black guys in the NBA, known for his chiseled features and strong physique. However, young Wade didn't stand out much, but old fans could still recognize him through his distinctive jowls. Stephen Curry Curry is loved by fans for his precise three-point shooting and his sunny good looks. Young Curry may have lacked a bit of heroism, but his cute and naive temperament made…

Recently, there might be significant changes in the lineup of the Houston Rockets. It is said that the Rockets and the Sacramento Kings are discussing a 6-for-2 trade, with the Rockets aiming to acquire the Kings' All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox and shooting guard Kevin Huerter through this deal. Consider this: The Rockets would send out VanVleet, Sheppard, Whitmore, and three future first-round draft picks, including those from the Suns in 2025, 2027, and 2029. Doesn't it sound a bit crazy? But precisely because of the possibility of this trade, the future lineup of the Rockets fills us with anticipation. Let's talk about De'Aaron Fox. This guy is really impressive! Fox averages 26.2 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage as high as 48.3%. He is not only a scoring guard but also exerts pressure on opponents defensively, having won the league's steals title. Most importantly, his athleticism and ability to break through make people shout with excitement when they watch him play. If the Rockets can get Fox, their backcourt firepower will be significantly enhanced, especially in terms of organizing offense, where the Rockets' performance will undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap. Imagine, the combination of Fox and Jalen Green in the backcourt, moving so fast that the opposing defense can hardly cope. Some netizens have expressed: Fox is simply the missing piece of the puzzle for the Rockets! If he comes, the Rockets' offense will become interesting. The current VanVleet, frankly speaking, is in poor form and cannot support the offensive needs…

Brownie is doing well, scoring 15 points with 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals in one game, and then 23 points with 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the next, totaling 38 points, 16 rebounds, and 11 assists in back-to-back games. The young prince is playing better and better, gradually meeting everyone's expectations, and also making his father proud. Some may argue that performing well in the development league is enough to start blowing it up? Please, Brownie is just a second-round pick at No. 55, and he's only recently turned 20. It's already exciting that he can make a difference in the G League. If Brownie can continue to grow wildly, it's believed that he will become a rotation player for the Lakers in the future, regardless of whether James is still in the purple and gold army at that time. Speaking of the Lakers, their record has quietly climbed to fifth in the West. Last season at this time, they were ninth in the West with a record of 16 wins and 15 losses, while they have now left their intra-city rivals, the Clippers, behind, with both teams having a record of 18 wins and 13 losses. It's worth noting that the Lakers have completed a 4-0 sweep of the Kings this season, with Davis' career record against Sabonis reaching 4-1, which was previously 0-10. On the other hand, the Kings did not change their tactics after changing coaches. After losing to the Lakers, they suffered six consecutive defeats, with a current record of 13 wins and…

NBA regular season, an internal battle in the West, the Clippers against the Spurs. Although the Clippers are ranked higher than the Spurs, they are playing back-to-back games, plus Cardi Zige is not playing, so it's not that easy to win. The key to victory is whether they can contain Wenyambo. The Spurs have sent out their full squad, determined to win this crucial battle for position, which is worth two games. In the first half, the Clippers were thrashed by the Spurs, trailing by as many as 20 points, 43-63. The Clippers' offense clearly had major issues, with Harden struggling to keep the team afloat in the first quarter, but completely fizzling out in the second, while his teammates were not pulling their weight. Additionally, the team's signature defense was nowhere to be seen, and turnovers were also high. The Spurs played very well, with Wenyambo attacking and defending comprehensively, and Paul orchestrating from behind. Under their leadership, the other players also played comfortably. Powell scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals; Zubac scored 3 points and 3 rebounds; Dunn scored 7 points; Harden scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block; Sohan scored 4 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal; Barnes scored 3 points and 3 rebounds; Wen Ban scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks; Vassell scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals; Paul scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals; Castle scored 5 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists; Keldon…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the 25th round of the CBA will witness a heavyweight match, Liaoning's third battle in their devil schedule, against Beijing BAW, ranked 7th but still one of the favorites to win the championship this season. The two teams met on December 20th last month, with a weakened Liaoning squad facing Beijing without Zhou Qi. The battle was fierce, with Liaoning leading the score under the leadership of Ferg in the first three quarters. However, in the final quarter, Liaoning's offensive slowed down due to physical issues, and Zhang Zhenlin was forced to withdraw from the game after being accidentally injured by Fan Ziming. Beijing staged a great comeback under the leadership of Zeng Fanbo and Chen Yingjun. Zeng Fanbo contributed 4 blocks in a single quarter (all against Ferg), with a total of 7 blocks throughout the game, overshadowing everyone else, and even blocking Ferg's last-second three-pointer attempt (Ferg scored 45 points in the game). Liaoning eventually lost to Beijing by a margin of 1 point, causing Yang Ming to be somewhat furious. Despite Yang Ming's frustration, Liaoning's subsequent record did not plummet as a result. Instead, they became more and more courageous. After Yang Ming abandoned Ture, Liaoning has won four consecutive victories, defeating Fujian, Guangzhou, Xinjiang, and Guangdong. On the other hand, Beijing has struggled, narrowly avoiding defeat to Liaoning but then suffering consecutive losses to Tianjin and Shandong, winning only one of their last four games. Beijing BAIC's recent record has been dismal, with only four wins and six losses in the…

Philadelphia won 125-103 on the road against Portland, currently with a record of 13 wins and 17 losses, securing their fourth consecutive victory and nearing a return to the play-in tournament. We previously mentioned that once Embiid is able to play, Philadelphia has no problem making it into the playoffs in the East. Although Embiid's playing style is soft and he wipes the floor, his ability to maintain the team's lower limit is still there. Due to his fragile body, he uses a guard-style approach; otherwise, Embiid would have retired like Oden. The current issue is still with George. It's unclear whether George's cliff-like decline is due to his age or if his ball-handling rights in Philadelphia are even worse than in the Clippers? George's recent performance has been exaggerated. Today, George shot 4 for 9, made 1 of 3 three-pointers, scored 9 points with 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal, but also had 4 turnovers and 5 fouls. This is a giant signed for a $50 million annual salary. Obviously, George has proven Harden wrong again because Harden seems to have overestimated George. In November interviews and after two games against Philadelphia, Harden gave his own evaluation of George. Harden said that George and himself are still close, and it's good that he left the Clippers because he's happy and making money in Philadelphia, then he'll get more opportunities than in the Clippers. At the same time, Harden also believes that with George gone, he will get more ball-handling rights and more opportunities. Harden's self-evaluation is accurate; this…
