Translation of the article content into English: In the NBA, the Lakers are undoubtedly the team with the most stars in history. After all, this team has had a culture of winning games led by top-tier stars since they first entered the NBA. The first-ever superstar in history, George Mikan, was a Laker, followed by Jerry West, Baylor, and others who were also superstars leading the team to victory. Now, the Lakers still have top-tier stars like James and Davis. Speaking of which, Shaq shared a Lakers player pyramid, let's take a look at whether it is reasonable. Fifth Tier This tier mainly consists of top-notch blue-collar players who have made significant contributions to the team: Norm Nixon, Fisher, AC Green, Rick Fox, Odom, Horry, Clyde Lovellette, Jim Pollard, Slater Martin, Vlade Divac, Hot Rod Hundley, Bob McAdoo. Nixon helped the Lakers win two championships and was once selected to the All-Star team. Fisher, although he has never been selected to the All-Star team, has helped the Lakers win five championships. AC Green was Magic Johnson's backcourt partner, helping him win two championships and also contributing to the OK duo's championship. He was a top defender. Rick Fox was the small forward during the Lakers' three-peat period and was considered the third best player on the team at the time. Odom helped the Lakers win two championships and was the sixth man during Kobe's era. Horry helped the OK duo win a championship, and his career record of reaching seven NBA Finals and winning them all is quite impressive. Clyde…

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…

Jordan and James, undoubtedly the two brightest superstars in NBA history. The former is known as the highest mountain, with 6 championships, 6 FMVPs, 5 MVPs, and 10 scoring titles, unparalleled in both honors and abilities. The latter is seen as the longest river, with a 22-year career that has amassed 40,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists, 13 selections to the All-NBA First Team, and 20 All-Star appearances, making efficiency and longevity synonymous with James. At the same time, Jordan and James are among the few players who have been able to play until the age of 40. So, disregarding their peak periods, who performed better when they were 40 years old? Below, I will compare them through personal statistics, efficiency values, game influence, and other aspects to explore this question for you. First, let's look at Jordan. In the 2002-03 season, at the age of 40, Jordan played all 82 regular-season games, averaging 36.9 minutes per game, scoring 20 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.5%, three-point percentage of 29.1%, and free-throw percentage of 82.1%. Although Jordan had descended from his throne at this point and could no longer soar like he did in his youth, in terms of experience and skills, the 40-year-old Jordan had reached a master level, not inferior even to rising stars like Kobe and McGrady. That season, Jordan scored over 30 points in 15 games, over 40 points in 3 games, with a single-game high of 51 points. It can be seen that…

Introduction On March 14, 2024, basketball superstar LeBron James found himself at the center of controversy, from his exorbitant contract renewal demands to allegations of involvement in banned substances, and speaking out for his son Bronny's NBA prospects. So, are James' achievements over the years genuine? LeBron James' Recent Game Performance "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting," this phrase could not be more fitting for LeBron James. In the recently concluded Los Angeles derby, James put on a stunning one-man show. Entering the final quarter of the game, the Lakers were trailing by 21 points, on the verge of losing this crucial match. It was at this moment that James seemed to flip a switch. He began shooting three-pointers with abandon, one after another, as dense as raindrops. The audience was stunned, while the opponents fell into panic. Ultimately, James led the team to an incredible comeback, delivering a crushing blow to the Clippers. In this game, James made 7 out of 12 three-point attempts, scoring a total of 34 points. Such a performance naturally evoked the old saying: "An old horse may still have the ambition to travel thousands of miles." At 38 years old, James can still step up in critical moments and turn the tide. Information source: Beijing Youth Daily - NBA | Lao Zhan decisive 5 three-pointers leading Lakers to a great reversal win in the Los Angeles derby, approaching a great record In the subsequent back-to-back game against the Wizards, James once again demonstrated his dominance. With comprehensive statistics of 31…

Russell Westbrook Reborn! Thanks to Jokic for Calling Him Out, Post-game Remarks Expose James' Shame January 11, Beijing time, Russell Westbrook is really amazing. He has been reborn since joining the Nuggets and expressed his gratitude to Jokic for calling him out, making James feel ashamed with his post-game remarks.‌ Westbrook and Jokic, along with the Nuggets, are a perfect match. In the game against the Nets, they both achieved super triple-doubles once again. Westbrook scored 25 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and dished out 10 assists, while Jokic had 35 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists. This is incredible, especially considering that in just one season, they have already accomplished the feat of a triple-double in two games. Who would have believed it? It can only be said that they are truly a match made in heaven. After this victory, take a look at the Nuggets' record, which has climbed all the way to fourth in the West, and they are widening the gap with the teams behind them. Westbrook's arrival has not affected the Nuggets' performance at all. Before Westbrook came, many people questioned Jokic, saying that you are trying to increase the difficulty for yourself, calling it a "taste of the turtle competition" to see what it feels like when the turtle arrives? Now, the Nuggets have indeed tasted it, and there are no problems. Westbrook, who earns 3 million a year, is playing at a level worth 30 million. Even if you were to give him 30 million, it doesn't necessarily mean he could score over 25…

The Lakers are in need of a center, which has become a consensus. After the free agency market opens, there are many quality centers available, and among them, the center most closely linked to the Lakers is undoubtedly the Wizards' center, Valanciunas. Opinions on Valanciunas vary among fans. Some believe he is a good fit for the Lakers, while others think he is not suitable. The mainstream view is that he can help relieve pressure on Anthony Davis. So what is Valanciunas really like? Does he suit the Lakers? What changes can he bring to the Lakers? First, let's talk about why the Lakers need Valanciunas. It's simple; everyone knows the Lakers lack a true number five position player. Anthony Davis doesn't want to play as a center. He has repeatedly mentioned his desire to return to the power forward position. However, the Lakers' management holds a different opinion. Whether it's because they're afraid to spend money, think it's inappropriate, or unnecessary, remains unknown. But the reason the Lakers need Valanciunas is straightforward. In fact, the most urgent and necessary point is to use Valanciunas to reduce the burden on Anthony Davis and protect him. This is the fundamental reason. How important Anthony Davis is to the Lakers needs no further explanation. If he gets injured, the Lakers' season is over. Therefore, trading for Valanciunas to help Anthony Davis, even if it's just for five minutes, is very necessary. Having him play five minutes per game significantly enhances his safety. This is the primary purpose and most important thing about…

Injuries and age are the biggest enemies of NBA players. Overcoming the impact of injuries and age to maintain peak performance is the most challenging task. In the past, NBA games had a higher defensive intensity, and many players would experience a rapid decline in their statistics and abilities after reaching the age of 35, which was inevitable. However, with the decrease in game intensity, improvements in medical conditions, and better load management, many players are now able to maintain peak statistics and dominance even after the age of 35. Among the three superstar players—LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry—who has shown the most noticeable decline this season? LeBron James, the number one draft pick in 2003, has been playing from 2003 to 2025 and has turned 40 years old. Since he turned 36, many fans have said that James is declining, but his statistics and abilities have remained impressive and powerful each year. This season, at the age of 40, what are his statistics? According to NBA statistics, LeBron James is averaging 23.8 points + 7.7 rebounds + 8.8 assists + 0.8 steals + 0.5 blocks per game, with a field goal percentage of 50.7%, a three-point percentage of 38.6%, and a free throw percentage of 76.9%. James' average of 23+7+8 this season may not be particularly outstanding, but it is very balanced and comprehensive, and his efficiency remains at the peak level of his career. It's important to note that James is 40 years old, ten years older than Jokic and Antetokounmpo, yet he is still putting…
