Kobe Bryant, once a top basketball superstar in the NBA, had an outstanding career, and his influence was second only to that of basketball god Michael Jordan. Although Kobe has passed away, his impact on the NBA and basketball continues, with his Mamba spirit inspiring generations of fans. The Los Angeles Lakers honor Kobe every year, and during these events, their home stadium is always packed. Vanessa, Kobe's wife, has been under the spotlight since Kobe's death. With her top-tier looks, she gained fame after Kobe's passing, despite being nearly 40 years old at the time, and she still had many admirers around her. Vanessa's popularity is also closely related to her wealth. Throughout Kobe's career, his salary was among the highest in the NBA, and with his various endorsements and commercial activities, his net worth exceeded $1 billion. All of this became Vanessa's fortune after Kobe's departure. Moreover, Kobe was compensated with a substantial sum due to the helicopter accident. However, Vanessa did not start a new life after Kobe's death; she never forgot him. On important holidays, she would take her daughters to "visit" Kobe. Recently, Vanessa even went to Kobe's grave with her three daughters to celebrate the New Year, preparing exquisite fireworks especially for the occasion. In the more than four years since Kobe's death, Vanessa has taken care of the family. Their eldest daughter has now grown up and been nurtured into a talented individual. Currently, Natalia has become a well-known model with an annual income reaching millions of dollars. Their two younger daughters have…

Currently, the NBA regular season is in full swing, and the new season's Lakers team has been highly anticipated by fans. In the recently concluded regular season game, the Lakers defeated the visiting Trail Blazers 114-106 at home. In this game, the 40-year-old James performed outstandingly, shooting 15 out of 25 for a remarkable stat line of 38 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists. It is truly admirable that as a 40-year-old basketball player, he still maintains such an efficient competitive state in the fiercely competitive NBA arena. With his performance in this game, James has now scored over 30 points in 562 games throughout his career, tying him with basketball god Michael Jordan for first place in history. Based on his current excellent form, it is believed that James will soon surpass Jordan. Additionally, the legendary Lakers star Kobe Bryant is constantly missed by fans. Unbeknownst to many, it has already been four years since Kobe passed away. During these years, his wife Vanessa has silently endured everything. Initially, when Kobe first passed away, Vanessa suffered greatly, her heart filled with sadness that once led her to the brink of collapse. At that time, due to various pressures, she indulged in food, causing her weight to rise to over 200 pounds. However, as time went on, Vanessa gradually adjusted her mindset. For the sake of her family and three daughters, she began to transform herself. Now in her forties, Vanessa has returned to her peak condition, both in terms of looks and physique, reaching the top level. It can…

On December 31st, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued as the Los Angeles Clippers traveled to face the New Orleans Pelicans away from home. The Pelicans were in the midst of a 9-game losing streak, firmly holding the last spot in the Western Conference; while the Clippers were on a 2-game winning streak, needing more victories to avoid falling into the play-in tournament area. Both teams started off with a fierce offensive battle, with the Pelicans slightly ahead in the chaos until the second quarter when the Clippers managed to level the score thanks to Kobe Bryant's heroic performance. After halftime, the Pelicans hit multiple three-pointers, building a massive 16-point lead at one point. In desperate times, Harden stepped up, attacking and assisting to help the Clippers erase the deficit. The two teams then became embroiled in a tug-of-war, with the game's suspense dragging on until the end. The Clippers completed a great comeback with Harden's free throw. Ultimately, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Pelicans 116-113. The Pelicans, plagued by injuries, faced the surging Clippers and gambled with their hot shooting, achieving an impressive 51.2% field goal percentage and sinking 18 three-pointers at a 48.6% rate. In contrast, the Clippers shot only 35.1% from beyond the arc, making just 13 of 37 attempts. However, the Pelicans' limited talent and single-minded approach allowed the Clippers to mount a decisive counterattack with their dominance in the paint. Throughout the game, the Clippers outrebounded their opponents 40-35, dominated the offensive rebounds 14-6, and outscored them in the paint 56-44. Crucially, the Clippers…

In the NBA, scoring 60 points throughout a game is a very difficult feat to achieve. However, there are always some top-level players who have accomplished this goal by only playing three quarters of a game. For example, Harden with 60 points, Kobe with 62 points, and Thompson with 60 points. So the question arises, which of these three has the highest quality? Harden's 60 Points in Three Quarters Harden's abilities are undeniable. In terms of historical scorers, he can be compared to the likes of Jordan, Kobe, and McGrady, with a rich array of offensive techniques. Winning three scoring titles with the Rockets is solid evidence of his prowess. In the 19th season against the Hawks at home, Harden scored 60 points using only three quarters, with 23 free throws, making 20 of them, earning 20 points from the line. Thompson's 60 Points in Three Quarters Thompson is a top-tier 3D player in the current league. Although not considered a superstar, he is definitely at the star level, having assisted Curry in winning four championships. He can be considered the strongest second-in-command since Pippen, excelling in mid-to-long-range shooting, especially with a single-quarter record of 37 points and 14 three-pointers that are hard for future generations to surpass. In the 16th season against the Pacers, Thompson was in excellent form, taking 33 shots and making 21, including 8 out of 14 three-point attempts, and he only played three quarters to score 60 points. Kobe's 62 Points in Three Quarters Kobe has always been known for his scoring ability throughout his…

Despite the fact that Kobe Bryant has passed away, his devoted fans remain unwavering in their affection for him, primarily due to the aesthetic appeal of his technical moves and his passionate playing style, which always evokes a sense of excitement and fervor. His five NBA championship titles are a testament to his greatness, but the greatest regret is that he was unable to achieve a second three-peat, which would have allowed him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the "Basketball God" Michael Jordan. So, what were the reasons that prevented Kobe from achieving a second three-peat? Was it a lack of skill or simply fate? Today, let's revisit Kobe's peak years and analyze the reasons behind this. Many fans believe that Kobe's prime was during the championship-winning seasons of 08-09 and 09-10, but this is not the case. Kobe's true prime was actually during the 2007-2008 season. During this season, both his skills and mentality reached a level of perfection, and the arrival of Pau Gasol only added to his prowess, leading the team to a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, securing the top spot in the Western Conference. With an impressive average of 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, he was awarded his first regular-season MVP title. Compared to the more intense playoffs, Kobe's regular-season performance was just an "appetizer." In the first round of the playoffs, against the Denver Nuggets led by Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony, Kobe averaged a staggering 33.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and…

Kobe has been gone for over four years, and in the blink of an eye, we wonder if he and GIGI are doing well on the other side! On the first day of 2025, Vanessa brought her three daughters to visit Kobe's grave, where the whole family came together to visit Kobe and GIGI, "accompanying" them through the holidays and welcoming the New Year. Vanessa looks more beautiful again, sharing a happy photo with her three daughters. Capri and Bianca have lost weight and grown up a lot; eldest daughter Natalia stands in the middle, looking very much like Kobe. Vanessa shares a family photo under the Christmas tree near the grave, with the Pacific View Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, behind the location, and the Kobe and GIGI gravesite right behind them. At this time when everyone is reunited, perhaps Vanessa misses her loved ones, or perhaps the children miss their father and sister, so they want to be closer as a family. Vanessa also shared a mourning ceremony where she lit a fire in the central area of the cemetery. After four years, she can now bravely face everything; she is really brave. Although the environment of the cemetery is somewhat desolate, the heart is gentle. At this moment, she only wants the family to be closer, and on the first day of the New Year, she brings the children to visit the family, which is very warm. Kobe's grave is located in a private cemetery in California, specifically in the suburbs of Orange County, south…

The Lakers, one of the most popular teams in the NBA with a history of winning the second-most championship titles, boast an impressive roster of players. Half of the top ten players in NBA history have played for the Lakers, including Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, LeBron James, and Shaquille O'Neal. So, how many legendary stars have graced the Lakers' history? Today, let's take a look at the Lakers' all-time best player pyramid as ranked by American media outlet FW. We'll explore which stars have contributed to the Lakers and where they stand in the rankings. Fifth Tier: Norm Nixon, A.C. Green, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, Lamar Odom, Robert Horry, Clyde Lovellette, Jim Pollard, Slater Martin, Vlade Divac, Happy Hairston, Rudy LaRusso, Bob McAdoo Successful teams not only have shining superstars but also hardworking blue-collar players. The fifth tier of the Lakers' pyramid consists of players who have made significant contributions to the team but have few individual honors. For example, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, Lamar Odom, and Robert Horry are career non-All-Stars who have performed well and helped the team win championships. There are also some All-Stars in this tier, such as Norm Nixon and A.C. Green, who spent short stints with the Lakers, and Vlade Divac and Bob McAdoo, who were All-Stars outside of their time with the Lakers. Fourth Tier: Gail Goodrich, Pau Gasol, Vern Mikkelsen, Byron Scott, Jamaal Wilkes, Michael Cooper, Anthony Davis Compared to the 13 players in the fifth tier, the fourth tier has fewer players, mainly those who have been All-Stars and key contributors…

On December 31st, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with a total of 7 matchups scheduled. The specific results are as follows: Knicks defeated the Wizards 126-106, Bulls overcame the Hornets 115-108, Clippers narrowly won against the Pelicans 116-113, Nuggets beat the Jazz 132-121, Cavaliers triumphed over the Warriors 113-95, Mavericks lost to the Kings 100-110, and the 76ers crushed the Trail Blazers 125-103. Stars such as Towns, Hart, Kobe White, Kobe Bryant, Jokic, Garland, Mitchell, Fox, and the Emperor all had impressive performances. So, who will be awarded the title of today's best player? Let's take a look together. In the game between the 76ers and the Trail Blazers, five players from the Trail Blazers scored in double figures, with Simmons, Ayton, and Avdija combining for 54 points, 17 rebounds, and 9 assists. However, they still suffered a crushing defeat, trailing by as many as 27 points, and the game quickly lost its suspense, all because the Emperor was too unreasonable! The Emperor played for 35 minutes, shooting 12 of 21 (1 of 1 from three-point range), making 12 of 13 free throws, and exploded for 37 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists with an on-court plus-minus value of +26. Especially in the first half, the Emperor struck hard, scoring 20 points and grabbing 8 rebounds to set the tone for the normal game. We are familiar with the Emperor's return, it has been a long time! In the game between the Mavericks and the Kings, Doncic, Irving, and Thompson were absent. Washington scored 28 points, grabbed rebounds,…

The selection of the NBA's best lineup in 2006 was a fierce competition that has been fondly remembered by fans for its intensity and the luxurious nature of the lineup. That season, the league was filled with stars who delivered astonishing performances, making the competition for the best lineup particularly intense. Let's take a look at just how luxurious that lineup was! The members of the first team were Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, and Shaquille O'Neal. These five were not only superstars but also all had the honor of winning the regular-season MVP award, which was unprecedented in NBA history, demonstrating the strength and luxury of this lineup. Nash averaged 18.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 10.5 assists per game. Under his leadership, the Suns pioneered the small-ball storm and running-and-gunning era, achieving remarkable results in the regular season. He also won the MVP award for the second consecutive year, and his contributions to the team were immeasurable by mere statistics. Kobe Bryant had the highest scoring average of his career, averaging 35.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, creating numerous scoring miracles such as scoring 81 points against the Raptors and 62 points in three quarters against the Mavericks. Despite the Lakers finishing seventh in the Western Conference, Kobe's personal performance was impeccable. He was the scoring champion of that season and the first player since Jordan to average 35 points per game in a single season. LeBron James gradually became a superstar in the league that year, averaging 31.4 points, 7 rebounds, and…

Translation of the article content into English: Since the inception of the NBA, only 23 people have been able to reach 25,000 points, showing that the milestone of 25,000 points is not something that anyone can achieve easily. After all, the NBA is the highest level of basketball competition, with a much higher intensity than the CBA. Xiao Cui hasn't even played a season yet and has already been ruled out for the season. Without further ado, let's mainly discuss some data on how Jordan, Kobe, and James reached the 25,000-point mark. Jordan reached 25,000 points in 782 games Looking at Jordan's career, he achieved 6 championships, 6 Finals MVPs, 5 regular-season MVPs, and 10 scoring titles in his first 13 seasons, which are indeed difficult for current or future players to surpass. The last two seasons of his comeback with the Wizards were unnecessary. Many people lost their chance at a championship during Jordan's prime, and the most regrettable was probably Karl Malone, who was defeated by Jordan twice in the finals. In terms of technique, Jordan could be said to have reached the realm of perfect harmony between man and ball, with textbook-level moves such as various breakthroughs, hang times, and one-on-one plays. He used his rich array of scoring methods to complete the 25,000-point milestone in just 782 games, averaging around 32 points per game. Kobe reached 25,000 points in 989 games Kobe fought in the league for 20 seasons, and his career can be described as an unceasing struggle. Although many people criticize him for being…
