Throughout the long history of the NBA, there have been many players who have played until they are 40 years old, but those who can maintain a high level of competitive form and still serve as core players are rare. Players like Carter and Nowitzki at this age have already moved to the second line, playing the role of mentor to young players. However, among these veterans, the most outstanding performer is undoubtedly "Forty-Year-Old Man" James. This season so far, the 40-year-old James has averaged a comprehensive set of data with 23.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage as high as 50.2% and a three-point percentage of 38.2%. At the same time, James has recorded 8 triple-doubles this season, second only to Jokic's 13. It must be admitted that even in his 22nd season, James is still one of the best players in the league. Although his athletic ability cannot match his younger days, he can still influence the game with his experience and skills. Such an all-round performance is something even Jordan at the same age could not achieve. In the recent Lakers' home victory over the Trail Blazers, James once again proved that his "fuel tank" still has plenty of reserves. In this game, James made 15 of 25 shots, including 7 of 10 from three-point range, scoring a luxurious 38 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists, leading the team to victory in the absence of Davis. After this game, James broke several records, let's take a look together. After scoring 30…

On January 4th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues to burn with passion, bringing us a match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Atlanta Hawks. The Lakers, as a team that has won 17 championships, have introduced several new players this season, aiming to break out of the Western Conference. Prior to the game, they ranked 6th in the West with a record of 19 wins and 14 losses, narrowly defeating the Trail Blazers at home in their last game without Anthony Davis. The Hawks, as an emerging force, have had ups and downs this season. They were 7th in the East with an 18-16 record before the game, suffering a 19-point defeat to the Nuggets in their last away game, desperately needing a victory to boost morale. This is a clash between powerhouses from the East and West, with the Lakers led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and the Hawks by Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. Who will emerge victorious? Let's wait and see. In the end, after four quarters of intense competition, the Lakers defeated the Hawks 119-102 at home. Player ratings: two perfect scores, six passing grades, and two struggling! As a team with a rich heritage, the Lakers' performance this season has seen both highs and lows, which is closely related to the aging of star players like LeBron James and other starters. To achieve their seasonal goals, the team brought in new players like Milton and Finney-Smith, but their recent performances have not been satisfactory, falling short of expectations. On one hand,…

The Lakers defeated the Hawks 119-102 and have now climbed to fourth place in the Western Conference. LeBron James scored over 30 points more times than Michael Jordan, making him the first in history. In the game, he played for 30 minutes, made 13 out of 20 shots, including 2 out of 5 three-pointers, scoring 30 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists. After the game, James finally regained his confidence, saying that he still has fuel in the tank and will continue playing without mentioning retirement again. Interestingly, at the beginning of this year when the Lakers were facing difficulties, James had talked about retiring. At that time, James was extremely exhausted because he felt responsible for his words. He had put himself in a difficult situation by saying that he would play all 82 regular-season games, including back-to-back matches. As a result of this statement, even when tired, James felt embarrassed to take a break. Eventually, he became cautious and was later criticized by J.J. Redick. In an interview, Redick directly stated that it wasn't good news for the Lakers if James played all 82 games. Redick also believed that an exhausted James could not help his teammates on the court. Ultimately, James was forced to rest by the Lakers, and after one game where Davis led the team to victory, James was still somewhat dissatisfied, saying that he wanted to play but the Lakers did not allow it. Looking back now, Redick's criticism seems to have been effective. Since Christmas, after resting, James' physical energy has recovered, averaging…

NBA is considered a top-level basketball competition, so it's common to see various records being set, such as Tracy McGrady's 13 points in 35 seconds. However, these are not the most impressive. Looking at the past 50 years of NBA history, there are five records that stand out as particularly difficult to break, listed in order of difficulty. Curry's 73-win Record The 2015-16 season was truly unforgettable for the Warriors and their fans. In a game against the Grizzlies, the team scored 125 points to secure a big win, achieving a total of 73 wins for the season. This broke the previous record of 72 wins set by Michael Jordan's team, making the Warriors the team with the most regular-season victories in NBA history. In that game, Curry was on fire, making 10 out of 19 three-point attempts, contributing to his career total of 402 three-pointers. It's unlikely that any team will be able to match this achievement in the future. Klay Thompson's 37 Points in a Quarter Klay Thompson's scoring prowess is legendary, and his record of 37 points in a single quarter is one of the toughest to beat. LeBron James' All-Around Stats LeBron James has been known for his all-around game since he entered the league, and his statistics reflect this. He has surpassed 40,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists in his career. Considering that other greats like John Stockton excelled mainly in assists and steals, while Shaquille O'Neal focused on scoring and rebounding, James' versatility makes his record hard to surpass. Michael Jordan's 10 Scoring…

Introduction LeBron James is expected to join the Dallas Mavericks with a massive three-year, $160 million contract, where he will team up with Luka Doncic to potentially secure his fifth championship. Why does Dallas Mavericks insist on choosing James at such a high price? The Mavericks' Loss In the 2023 NBA Finals, the Dallas Mavericks' performance was like a rat trapped in a maze, unable to find its way out against the strong Celtics. This defeat undoubtedly served as a wake-up call for the Mavericks, revealing tactical constraints and lineup deficiencies that hindered their progress. Like a high-performance car lacking key parts, the Mavericks struggled to reach their full potential. Throughout the series, their offense appeared sluggish, with the "twin stars" of Doncic and Irving significantly less effective under intense defense from the Celtics. The Celtics' targeted defensive strategy neutralized Doncic and Irving's strengths, rendering their usual effectiveness diminished. The Mavericks' offense became stagnant, unable to create any significant momentum. Irving's disappointing performance in the finals, characterized by crucial mistakes and questionable shot selection, left fans wanting more. Doncic, despite showing impressive skills, also faced difficulties against the Celtics' formidable defense. The Mavericks' issues with their forward and center positions were exposed during the finals, particularly the lack of consistent scoring and rebounding support. Players like LeVert and Gafford, while talented, lacked playoff experience. Facing these challenges, the Mavericks urgently need a scoring-oriented player who can step up in critical moments and provide relief for the team. Paul George's Contract Situation In the NBA, where money and talent are equally…

The NBA regular season continues with the Lakers defeating the Hawks 119-102 at home, securing their second consecutive win.

NBA regular season, the Lakers defeated the Hawks 119-102. The Lakers played relatively easily in this game, after all, they could continuously widen the point difference in each quarter, and finally easily took control of their opponents. Five players had perfect scores in the game. James was undoubtedly the focus player in this game, scoring 30 points and 8 assists with 13 out of 20 shots. In a back-to-back game, he was able to play with such efficiency, which was a huge test for his physical fitness, and it indeed showed his strength, becoming more cunning as he gets older. Smith's current state is also recovering, which is a gratifying result. He is a stable point on the defensive end, coupled with excellent efficiency, shooting 3 out of 5, making 2 out of 3 three-pointers to get 8 points and 5 rebounds, gradually integrating into the team. Knect played very well in this game. Except for some flaws in layups, his three-point shooting percentage finally recovered. He contributed 13 points and 4 rebounds with 4 out of 7 shots, hoping that his state can be maintained in the future. Hachimura was also fully engaged in scoring in this game. Although his three-point shooting percentage did not recover, he relied on steals to score 13 points with 6 out of 9 shots, and his rebounding reached 8, which was already very good for him. Coupled with Christie's good restriction on Trae Young, his offensive efficiency has transformed, scoring 9 points with 3 out of 4 shots, becoming an absolute core. Davis,…
