In reading an article, Wade stated that in the post-Jordan era, from a strict and essential perspective, only LeBron James and Kobe Bryant can truly be considered as superstars. In my mind, James and Kobe are on par with Jordan as historical top-tier figures. I completely agree with this viewpoint. From his rookie days to the present, James has given fans a sense of dominating the world. Before the age of 35, James was capable of anything, performing various tomahawk dunks, breakthroughs, and high-difficulty blocks, essentially able to soar through the air and move freely. However, since turning 35, he has indeed been gradually declining, with a less efficient scoring rate than before. Yet, his assists have been increasing, averaging as high as 9 per game this season. To date, James has won a total of 4 championships, 4 MVP awards, 4 Finals MVP awards, and is the all-time leading scorer in history. These achievements are the most impressive, and currently, he is the only player in the league to have achieved such statistics. Let's talk about influence. Without James in the NBA Finals, viewership rates drop below 60 percent. However, when James is in the Finals, NBA viewership rates soar above 75 percent, and even regular-season viewership rates are high. Moreover, he has consistently invested in basketball projects for charity and owns his own basketball school, providing free tuition and accommodation for children who dream of playing basketball. He has donated a staggering amount of approximately 134milliontocharity,whileearningonly134 million to charity, while earning only 134milliontocharity,whileearningonly237 million in his 15 years…

In the ranks of rising star players, Dončić is undoubtedly the most dazzling one. This 25-year-old white player led the Mavericks to the finals last season and has been selected for the best first team for four consecutive years. In the eyes of many media and fans, Dončić's current performance is not inferior to that of James and Bryant at the same age. So is this really the case? Let's take a comprehensive look at personal data, team achievements, and honors to see who is better. Dončić Due to a leg injury, 25-year-old Dončić has only played 22 games this season, averaging 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists, with a shooting percentage of 46.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%, and free throw percentage of 76.7%. In terms of team achievements, Dončić has led the Mavericks to the playoffs four times since entering the league, including one finals appearance. In terms of honors, Dončić has been selected for the best first team for four consecutive years, won the scoring title once, been selected for the All-Star team five times, won the Western Conference Finals MVP once, and was named Rookie of the Year once. James In the 2009-10 season, 25-year-old James played 76 regular-season games, averaging a comprehensive stat line of 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 50.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and free throw percentage of 76.7%, leading the Cavaliers to the best record in the league.

Kobe, a name, a legend. Four years ago, his sudden death shocked the world and shattered the hearts of countless fans into pieces of snowflakes. Now, four years have passed, and time has slowly healed the pain, but Kobe's appearance and his indomitable Black Mamba spirit are still deeply engraved in people's memories. His wife, Vanessa, has also emerged from the depths of grief, successfully slimmed down, and regained her radiance. Today, let us once again approach Kobe, approach Vanessa, and feel that touch, that strength. January 27, 2020, for many fans, was an unforgettable day. That early morning, a helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California, killing all nine people on board, including Kobe and his second daughter, Gianna. The news shocked the world. From basketball superstars like Jordan, O'Neal, James, to celebrities from all walks of life, they expressed their condolences. Kobe's death was not only a huge loss for the basketball world but also a heavy blow to fans around the world. Kobe's life was inseparable from basketball. He started playing basketball at the age of three, and after returning to the United States at the age of thirteen, he devoted all his time to basketball training. He once said, "I am fighting with shadow enemies." This sentence showed Kobe's love for basketball and his indomitable spirit. In high school, a tutor advised him to give up basketball, thinking he had no talent in this field. But Kobe did not lose heart; instead, he turned this sentence into motivation to inspire himself. He trained even harder and eventually became…

Whenever the topic of the "greatest lineup in history" comes up, does the image of "Magic, God, Emperor, Buddha, Shark" come to mind? Although the NBA has never officially selected the greatest lineup in history, it is still a topic that is discussed with great enthusiasm by countless media and fans, and even many stars have personally expressed their opinions. Previously, Harden also shared his all-time NBA team during an interview. Let's take a look at who made his list. Firstly, at the point guard position, Harden's choice was somewhat unexpected. It was neither Magic Johnson nor Curry, but James was placed at the No. 1 spot. As the most versatile player in NBA history, James is known for his explosive physicality and top-notch basketball IQ, capable of playing any position on the court. Even as a point guard, James is more than capable, as evidenced by the Lakers' championship win in 2020 when he played as a point guard and won the assist title that season. At the shooting guard position, Harden chose his idol, Kobe. Peak Kobe is undoubtedly one of the best scorers in league history, having created a series of records such as 81 points in a single game, 62 points in three quarters, and four consecutive games with 50+, scoring for him was like taking something out of a bag. At the same time, Kobe was also an outstanding defensive guard, with 9 selections to the All-Defensive First Team being the best proof of his abilities. Next, Harden chose Jordan as the small forward for…

Translation of the article content into English: Peak Yao Ming was undoubtedly one of the best centers in the NBA at the time, with his 2.26-meter height and delicate skills under the basket, allowing him to dominate the paint, even against top centers like Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard. In 2006, after the expiration of his rookie contract, Yao Ming received recruitment from multiple teams who were eager to acquire this star player with great interior dominance, including superstars like Kobe Bryant. So, let's take a look at what offers each team made to Yao Ming at that time. As the number one pick in the 2002 draft, Yao Ming's performance in his rookie season could only be described as average, averaging 13 points and 8 rebounds per game with a shooting percentage of less than 50%, which was the key reason he did not win the Rookie of the Year award. However, after realizing the lack of strength and physicality, Yao dedicated a lot of time to gym training, quickly improving his strength level, and his sophomore season stats rose to an average of 17+9 points and rebounds, earning him All-Star and All-NBA Third Team selections. In the following two seasons, Yao Ming made significant progress each year, and in his fourth year, he put up impressive numbers of 22.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game with a 51.9% shooting percentage, earning him a spot in the All-NBA Second Team and as an All-Star starter. At 25 years old, Yao Ming was already one of the top…

If your partner passes away, how should you continue with life? Should you live forever in the memories or try to embrace life again? This is a seemingly "simple" question that may touch on the depths of many people's hearts. And Vanessa Bryant, the widow of Kobe Bryant, has given an answer that the whole world can see. Five years have allowed her to gradually come out of her grief and enter into a new love. This time, her life has once again been focused on, interpreted, and even criticized by some. Some people bless her, while others say she is "too cold-blooded," questioning whether she really still remembers the good of Kobe. But the question is, do we really have the right to judge the choices in a complex life? Vanessa's story is as complicated as a multi-threaded script. On one side, she has the maternal duty of raising four daughters, on the other side, there are fans' emotional expectations for the identity of "Kobe's widow," and there are also various speculations from others about her new romance. As many people say, she can no longer be separated from the words "Kobe" in this life, but from being a partner to an ordinary woman, she also has to find reasons to live for herself. Perhaps, these reasons are not what everyone thinks they are. In the eyes of almost everyone, Kobe was a basketball legend, and Vanessa was the woman who stood behind him to support him. But this role "behind the halo" did not allow her to escape…

Vanessa has recently been trending multiple times on the hot search list. Her first trending topic was when she suddenly took her children to Kobe's grave. Then, Vanessa and her children set off fireworks at Kobe's grave, mourning their father and celebrating the New Year together. It is worth noting that the Vanessa who appeared this time looks much slimmer, completely different from the bloated appearance she had when Kobe first passed away. At that time, Chris Paul standing in front of Vanessa looked like a weak little boy. Vanessa's second trending topic was due to a photo with a white male model. In this photo, Vanessa leans against the side of this white male model, which makes many fans think that Vanessa's romance might have been exposed. Is this white male model Vanessa's new boyfriend? As we all know, after Kobe's passing, Vanessa, who owns hundreds of millions of dollars from Kobe's inheritance, became a hot target. Even when Kobe first passed away, it was rumored that several NBA veterans, including Fisher, initiated a pursuit of Vanessa. Old Malone even moved near Kobe's home, which made Kobe's good friend Artest once say that he would stand guard at Kobe's doorstep, and those who want to date Vanessa must pass his fist first. However, despite this, rumors about Vanessa's romance have never stopped. Especially, Vanessa was once reported to have attended a high-quality singles party organized by Kim Kardashian, which suggests that at least Vanessa does not strongly reject starting a new romance and life. Who is this white male…

In recent games, Paul George's performance has been nothing short of disappointing, especially in crucial moments. Despite being a key player for the Clippers, he has become a burden to the team during decisive moments. For example, in the recent game against the Kings, the Clippers were once leading, but George made consecutive mistakes in the last three minutes and missed multiple shots, ultimately resulting in the team's reversal and loss. It's frustrating when he can't hold up under pressure in critical moments and instead gives opponents an opportunity. In contrast, another player, Bobby Kobe, has shone brightly. Who would have thought that Bobby Kobe, who was not highly regarded, could almost bring the Clippers out of a dead end with one precise three-pointer after another? Especially in the game against Philadelphia, he calmly took over the game in the crucial moments, demonstrating a level of efficiency that is currently lacking in George. A netizen commented after the game: Honestly, George's current performance is really disheartening, especially those mistakes in crucial moments; it's hard to believe he's an All-Star player. And what about Bobby Kobe? He's a treasure; his role in the team is growing, and he's truly a cost-effective player. This statement is spot on; George's state is becoming increasingly unstable, while Bobby Kobe, despite a significant salary difference, seems to understand how to stand out and lead the team in critical moments. George's inefficient offense has become a major concern for the Clippers this season. His choices in one-on-one situations are often frustrating to watch. Sometimes you see…

Translation of the article content: When it comes to the NBA's all-time greatest lineup, most fans would probably answer with the "Magic, God, Emperor, Buddha, Shark" combination. However, this is ultimately a subjective topic, and everyone has their own understanding of the strongest lineup, as the saying goes, "A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets." As one of the greatest coaches in history, Popovich has also shared his own list of the all-time greatest lineup. So, let's take a look at who made Popovich's list. Point Guard: Magic Johnson Magic Johnson is widely recognized as the greatest point guard in history, known for his excellent basketball IQ and organizational skills. He led the Lakers to five championships in the 1980s, was named FMVP three times, and created the glorious SHOWTIME era. Shooting Guard: Michael Jordan Jordan's abilities need no further elaboration; two three-peats, six FMVPs, five MVPs, ten scoring titles—these honors alone are enough to prove why he is called the "Basketball God." Small Forward: Kobe Bryant Despite Kobe's multiple playoff victories over the Spurs, Popovich's appreciation and recognition for Kobe is always evident, even publicly stating that aside from Duncan, the player he most wanted to coach was Kobe. Kobe's abilities are undeniable; he led the Lakers to five championships, was named FMVP twice, MVP once, and set records such as 81 points in a single game, 62 points in three quarters, and four consecutive games with 50+ points. Power Forward: Hakeem Olajuwon As the leader of the four centers in the 1990s, Olajuwon is known for his incredibly…
