To be frank, only three NBA players have truly influenced the world. Curry and Johnson are not qualified. After much thought, I still want to write about the NBA players who have truly influenced the world. So far, many people think that Jordan, Kobe, James, Durant, Curry, and others have influenced the world. However, in my mind, there are only three people: Jordan, Kobe, and James. Other players like Curry, Durant, and Johnson do indeed have influence, but they are not on the same level as these three. Jordan Jordan entered the NBA in 1984 and went through two stages: the first 13 seasons and the last two with the Wizards. His main honors and influence were achieved during the first 13 seasons, including 10 scoring titles, 6 championships, 6 Finals MVPs, and 5 regular-season MVPs. Many global sports brands made huge profits from his endorsements. During his several retirements, the NBA suffered greatly, with unemployment rates and viewership reaching their lowest points. I won't go into specifics here. Kobe In his 20-season career, Kobe gave fans around the world some of his most exciting games, winning 5 championships including one three-peat, 2 Finals MVPs, and 1 regular-season MVP. His 81-point game is unforgettable for fans. He represented the national team twice, winning gold medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. Especially at the 2008 Olympics, he had a 10-second solo spotlight, showing his unparalleled influence among fans. In China, Kobe has an especially large fan base, which is inseparable from his love for Chinese fans. During his playing career…

The San Antonio Spurs faced off against their old rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers, at home. Despite the absence of superstar Kawhi Leonard, the shadow of their first-round matchup remained. The coaching staff relied on excellent teamwork to expand the lead in the first half of the first quarter, but James Harden's sudden outburst helped stabilize the situation for the Clippers. However, the visiting team, playing back-to-back games, experienced fatigue issues, with many open shots failing to convert into points. This allowed the Spurs to execute fast breaks and dazzling ball movement, easily securing 37 assists and laying the groundwork for victory. Despite Tyronn Lue sending bench-end role players into the game in the middle of the third quarter, Spurs assistant coach Mitch Johnson had to keep Wembanyama on the court to ensure the win. This change exposed the true potential of the 20-year-old French center. In less than 26 minutes, he scored 27 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, dished out 5 assists, made 1 steal, and recorded 3 blocks, with a +22 plus-minus and a 55% shooting percentage. Such an efficient offensive and defensive performance left opponents in awe. Over the past eight games, Clippers center Zubac has averaged double-doubles in points and rebounds. However, when matched up against Wembanyama, he set a humiliating record of 5 points and 7 rebounds, reducing his $58 million value to that of a blue-collar worker. While acknowledging the team's poor record, one must also recognize Wembanyama's terrifying and unparalleled natural talent. As a sophomore rookie, he has not yet received many honors but…

As the season progresses, the Houston Rockets have experienced significant changes in their performance. Although the team's defensive efficiency ranks second in the league, their shortcomings on the offensive end remain evident, particularly in their three-point shooting. In a recent NBA Cup match against the Thunder, the Rockets attempted as many as 11 three-pointers but were unable to overcome the strong defense of the Thunder, ultimately resulting in their elimination. The Rockets' defense has undoubtedly been a highlight of this season. Head coach Udoka has integrated young players like Amen and Ethan into the tactical system, making the team's defense a force to be reckoned with in the West. The vitality and execution shown by these young players on the court have placed the Rockets' defensive efficiency almost at the top of the league. Especially the progress of Amen and Ethan has gradually made the Rockets' management realize that these players are not only the core of the future but also capable of helping the team secure a place in future competitions. However, despite significant improvements on the defensive end, the Rockets' offensive performance has yet to elevate the team to new heights. Currently, the Rockets rank 22nd and 26th in the league in three-point shots made and three-point shooting percentage, respectively, indicating a significant weakness in outside offense. Although the team has ball-handlers like Jalen Green and VanVleet, the Rockets clearly need more outside firepower support in terms of three-point shooting accuracy and efficiency. To enhance their offensive firepower, the Rockets' management has begun to adjust the team's lineup,…
