Translation of the article content into English: At the age of 26, Tatum, Durant, and James: No Comparison, No Embarrassment As James and Durant gradually age, and Leonard is plagued by injuries throughout the year, the title of the league's top small forward naturally falls on Tatum. So, as a comparison, let's take a look at the achievements and data of Tatum and the two older brothers, James and Durant, when they were all at the age of 26. Tatum As the third overall pick in the 2017 draft, 26-year-old Tatum has been fighting in the league for eight seasons without realizing it. To date, he averages 23.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.1% and a three-point percentage of 37.5%. In terms of honors, Tatum has won one championship, been selected to the All-NBA First Team three times, the All-NBA Third Team once, made five All-Star appearances, and won one All-Star MVP. His team's record includes seven consecutive playoff appearances, two Finals appearances, and one championship win. Although he did not win the Finals MVP, there is no denying that he remains the absolute core of the current Celtics. Durant Durant was still with the Thunder at the age of 26, and at that time, he had already been called the "Big and Small Kings" of the league alongside James. In his first eight seasons, Durant averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.3% and a three-point percentage of 41.3%. In terms…

An NBA regular-season match-up between the Lakers and the Cavaliers was a focal point of attention. The Lakers have been in good form recently, bolstered by the addition of new recruits Smith and Milton, who were both available to play. Additionally, this game marked LeBron James' first appearance at the age of 40, so the team was keen on securing a victory to celebrate his birthday. The Cavaliers, currently the top team in the league, have an undefeated record against Western Conference teams, with eight wins and no losses, giving them a slight advantage. However, if they were to become complacent or underestimate their opponents, it could prove costly. The Lakers' starting lineup featured Reeves, Christie, Hachimura, James, and Davis, while the Cavaliers started Garland, Mitchell, Wade, Mobley, and Allen. Both teams started off with good shooting, particularly the Cavaliers, who continued their league-leading offensive prowess with a balanced attack that stifled the Lakers and silenced the home crowd. After a rest, James returned with plenty of energy, scoring both inside and outside, showing no signs of his age as he teamed up with Davis to score the team's first 12 points. Reeves made a mistake, and Hachimura missed two layups, leading to jokes about his teammates being CBA level. The Cavaliers capitalized on the Lakers' mistakes, converting on fast breaks to lead 21-12. After a timeout, the Cavaliers maintained control of the game's tempo, with the Lakers struggling on offense, defense, and turnovers, resulting in a 15-point deficit. However, the Lakers did not collapse; when the Cavaliers' bench struggled…

8 Players Rotate to Defend Against James! Unconditional Trust in Du Runwang and Zhang Haojia, Du Feng Finally Takes Revenge on Zhang Qingpeng Hu Mingxuan is confirmed to be out for 3 months due to injury, and Les has left the team. The New Year's battle between Guangdong with three foreign players and their nemesis Tianjin has begun. This time, Guangdong's frontcourt will face a major test. In the last 5 games, Guangdong has averaged an impressive 41 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 assists from their super interior player, David James. Whether they can win this game depends on how well they can contain David James. In the first quarter, Jilunwote started hot, scoring 6 points in a row, helping Guangdong to an 8-2 lead within 4 minutes. Morand missed his first 3 free throws, and James also missed his first 3 shots. Tianjin began to catch up under the leadership of Lavert. Jiguo Wang scored 13 points in 7 minutes, and Guangdong led Tianjin 15-9 after 7 minutes. In the first quarter, Tianjin's defense had problems, being too lax against Jilunwote. The issue arose from James, who was directly matched up against Jilunwote. Jimo duo accounted for all of Guangdong's points in the first 8 minutes. Xu Jie then found his rhythm and hit a three-pointer. In the second half of the quarter, Guangdong went on a 7-0 run in 2 minutes, extending their lead to 26-15. Zhang Qingpeng finally called a timeout, and Du Feng replaced Beizili. Zhang Qingpeng took out David James and brought in Hamlet. At…

The Lakers recently brought in Finney-Smith and Milton, and today the new recruits were finally able to play, with promising results that will improve over time. However, their opponents were formidable, as the Cavaliers, ranked first in the league, were expected to win. Despite playing at home, the Lakers faced a fierce Cavaliers team, leaving LeBron James to acknowledge that time is fair to everyone. The Cavaliers defeated the Lakers 122-110 on the road, securing an eighth consecutive victory. There's not much to say about this game; the Cavaliers' number one ranking in the league is well-deserved, as they have earned it through their performance. Mitchell and Garland in the backcourt, Wade on the wing, and Mobley and Allen in the frontcourt. The bench also boasts strong players like Strus, Nene, and LeVert. The Cavaliers' rise and rebuilding path over the years has been nothing short of miraculous; any misstep could have led to disaster. But the key is that the Cavaliers made the right moves every step of the way. First, in the trade between the Rockets and the Nets for Harden, the Cavaliers used a first-round pick to intercept Allen, a valuable center, and then acquired LeVert. Following this, the Cavaliers began to tank, miraculously snatching Mobley from the Rockets. The Rockets' scouting department hoped to select Jalen Green with the second overall pick in 2021, while the data analysis department believed Mobley was the ideal choice, given the Rockets' tradition of building around a center. Ultimately, the Rockets' owner's son decided to take Green with the second…

On January 1st, Beijing time, in a game that has already ended, the Lakers lost to the Cavaliers at home with a score of 110-122. James welcomed his first game after turning 40 years old. Although his performance was not explosive, it was not disappointing either. He made 9 out of 17 shots, including 3 out of 6 three-pointers, scoring 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists, which is a moderate set of statistics. Of course, looking at it from another angle, it's quite remarkable that James can still score 20+4+7 after turning 40, because many NBA superstars didn't even play until they were 40, such as Kobe, Chamberlain, Bird, and Magic Johnson; and there are also some superstars whose first game after turning 40 was not as good as James'. Let's take a look at how some of the historical superstars performed in their first game after turning 40. Duncan: Due to his birthday, Duncan's first game after turning 40 was in the playoffs. On April 30, 2016, at the age of 40 years and 5 days, Duncan scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists in his first game after turning 40, as the Spurs defeated the Thunder by 32 points. Jordan: Jordan's first game after turning 40 was on February 19, 2003. The Wizards lost to the Hornets, with Jordan making 8 out of 23 shots and 4 out of 6 free throws, scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, which is not as good as James. However, in the second game after turning 40, Jordan…

The Lakers suffered a heartbreaking loss, falling to the Cavaliers with a final score of 110-112. LeBron James contributed 23 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds, but it wasn't enough as he walked off the court and into the player's tunnel with just 8 seconds remaining in the game. At halftime, the Lakers were trailing the Cavaliers by 5 points, with a score of 53-58. Let's take a look at the scoring breakdown for both teams at the half: For the Lakers: Reeves had 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. James had 12 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 block. Davis had 11 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block. Knnekt had 4 points and 2 rebounds. Hachimura had 3 points and 3 rebounds. Milton had 3 points and 2 rebounds.

Jerome had 3 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists. Despite playing at home and having the advantage of rest, the Lakers faced a Cavaliers team that had played against the Warriors the previous day and traveled to Los Angeles for this match. Although the Cavaliers have an impressive record this season, they were expected to be physically fatigued. This presented an…

On January 1st, Beijing time, after the Lakers' victory over the Cavaliers, James' actions after the game basically cut off any hope of him returning to the Cavaliers for a fourth time, ending his third homecoming trip prematurely and depriving the Cavaliers players of the opportunity to embrace him. The Lakers suffered a crushing defeat at home to the Cavaliers, failing to win even against the league's top team in back-to-back games. This game was actually quite an opportunity for them. They were trailing earlier and had just finished a physically demanding match against the Warriors, yet they still managed to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers. There's not much that can be done about it. The Lakers had been resting and recuperating for so long on their own, while their opponents were at a physical disadvantage. What more could they ask for? In the final moments of this game, James made a move that showed his extreme dissatisfaction with the loss, which also meant that he had no emotional ties with the Cavaliers, as he didn't even bother to greet or acknowledge anyone from the Cavaliers team and immediately left without looking back. Even more surprisingly, James did something unexpected during the game. He didn't wait until the end of the game to leave; instead, he walked to the sidelines and talked to his teammates for a few seconds before leaving. It can be seen that with 10.4 seconds remaining, James turned to the bench, then spoke to his son Bronny for a moment, lifting his shirt and heading towards…

NBA stars are known for their exceptional skills and unique personalities, becoming idols in the hearts of basketball fans around the world. But what were these superstars like in their childhood? Let's travel through time together to take a look at the childhood photos of these NBA legends and feel their transformation from cute kids to court legends. LeBron James LeBron James is a name that is almost universally recognized in the basketball world. The young LeBron in the photo looks not much different from his current appearance, which is why fans often tease him for being "mature beyond his years." His dark skin, bright eyes, warm smile, and those adorable ears make it easy to recognize who he is. Yao Ming When we talk about Yao Ming, we tend to associate him with stability and humility. However, the childhood Yao had an unknown side. The young boy in the photo, wearing a red leather jacket and yellow casual pants, looks like a rock singer. This outfit makes one wonder if Yao Ming had chosen a musical path, would he have become a shining star as well? Dwyane Wade Wade is undoubtedly one of the handsome black guys in the NBA, known for his chiseled features and strong physique. However, young Wade didn't stand out much, but old fans could still recognize him through his distinctive jowls. Stephen Curry Curry is loved by fans for his precise three-point shooting and his sunny good looks. Young Curry may have lacked a bit of heroism, but his cute and naive temperament made…

Brownie is doing well, scoring 15 points with 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals in one game, and then 23 points with 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the next, totaling 38 points, 16 rebounds, and 11 assists in back-to-back games. The young prince is playing better and better, gradually meeting everyone's expectations, and also making his father proud. Some may argue that performing well in the development league is enough to start blowing it up? Please, Brownie is just a second-round pick at No. 55, and he's only recently turned 20. It's already exciting that he can make a difference in the G League. If Brownie can continue to grow wildly, it's believed that he will become a rotation player for the Lakers in the future, regardless of whether James is still in the purple and gold army at that time. Speaking of the Lakers, their record has quietly climbed to fifth in the West. Last season at this time, they were ninth in the West with a record of 16 wins and 15 losses, while they have now left their intra-city rivals, the Clippers, behind, with both teams having a record of 18 wins and 13 losses. It's worth noting that the Lakers have completed a 4-0 sweep of the Kings this season, with Davis' career record against Sabonis reaching 4-1, which was previously 0-10. On the other hand, the Kings did not change their tactics after changing coaches. After losing to the Lakers, they suffered six consecutive defeats, with a current record of 13 wins and…
