Recently, there might be significant changes in the lineup of the Houston Rockets. It is said that the Rockets and the Sacramento Kings are discussing a 6-for-2 trade, with the Rockets aiming to acquire the Kings' All-Star point guard De'Aaron Fox and shooting guard Kevin Huerter through this deal. Consider this: The Rockets would send out VanVleet, Sheppard, Whitmore, and three future first-round draft picks, including those from the Suns in 2025, 2027, and 2029. Doesn't it sound a bit crazy? But precisely because of the possibility of this trade, the future lineup of the Rockets fills us with anticipation. Let's talk about De'Aaron Fox. This guy is really impressive! Fox averages 26.2 points, 5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage as high as 48.3%. He is not only a scoring guard but also exerts pressure on opponents defensively, having won the league's steals title. Most importantly, his athleticism and ability to break through make people shout with excitement when they watch him play. If the Rockets can get Fox, their backcourt firepower will be significantly enhanced, especially in terms of organizing offense, where the Rockets' performance will undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap. Imagine, the combination of Fox and Jalen Green in the backcourt, moving so fast that the opposing defense can hardly cope. Some netizens have expressed: Fox is simply the missing piece of the puzzle for the Rockets! If he comes, the Rockets' offense will become interesting. The current VanVleet, frankly speaking, is in poor form and cannot support the offensive needs…

According to the latest report from American media, insiders in the league believe that Kings star De'Aaron Fox will push for a trade before the deadline. The Kings may consider all options, and the Rockets are likely to be the best potential trading partner for the Kings. Their draft picks and promising young stars make it hard for the Kings to refuse, especially after VanVleet's consecutive poor performances. The Rockets' desire for a trade has become increasingly strong. VanVleet's salary this season is $42.85 million, the highest in the Rockets team. So far this season, VanVleet has played 30 games for the Rockets, averaging 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. His shooting percentage is 37.9%, the second-lowest of his career, with a three-point percentage of 32.5%, a career low, and a free-throw percentage of 79.7%, also a career low. In yesterday's loss to the Heat, VanVleet performed poorly again and was even ejected from the game. He played for 38 minutes and 14 seconds, making only 6 of 17 shots, including 4 of 10 from three-point range, scoring 16 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Meanwhile, the Kings are experiencing a six-game losing streak, and their head coach has been fired. Fox previously rejected the team's offer of a three-year, $165 million early renewal contract, leaving his future in Sacramento uncertain. The chaotic situation in the Kings has intensified discussions about Fox's future direction. This management is really incompetent, Brown is just a scapegoat. According to ESPN reporter Ramona, sources say…

In the long history of the NBA, there have always been players who inspire and influence generations of players and basketball fans with their outstanding skills and unique personal charm. From Jordan to Kobe, from James to Curry, these players not only made the NBA go global but also made basketball a competitive sport loved by billions of people. Recently, NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki shared his views on the most influential players in NBA history on a podcast. He believes that only four players' influence truly spans the globe, and he himself is not included among them. Let's take a look at the extraordinary careers of these four basketball giants and their tremendous contributions to the basketball world. James James is the face of the NBA today, with unmatched power, honors, influence, and commercial value. In the past 22 years, James has led his team to win four championships, been elected FMVP four times, won the regular season MVP four times, been selected for the best first team 13 times, and has been part of the All-Star lineup 20 times. He is also the holder of the record for total career points. In the eyes of many media and fans, James is already qualified to enter the GOAT discussion, and some even say he is the "Jordan" of this era. Magic Johnson Magic Johnson's career is full of legendary colors. He led the team to win the championship and was elected FMVP in his rookie season, becoming the youngest FMVP in history. In the following decade, Magic Johnson led the…

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…

Today, the Rockets hosted the Heat at home, with Ethan, Tate, Butler, and Deng Luo all sitting out. The Rockets' starting lineup was VanVleet, Green, Shen Jing, Smith, and Dillon; while the Heat's starting lineup was Rozier, Love, Herro, Adebayo, and Hayes. In the first quarter, Smith hit a 3+1, Jalen Green assisted VanVleet with a three-pointer, and he also drew a three-point foul, giving the Rockets a 12-4 lead. However, Adebayo scored consecutively, and Herro hit a three-pointer from outside, as the Heat responded with a 9-0 run to take the lead. After that, both sides exchanged scores, and after a tie at 18, they entered a timeout. Returning to the game, the Heat double-teamed the ball-handler, putting great pressure on the Rockets. Fortunately, Adams grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds, allowing Dillon to score 5 points in a row, helping the Rockets regain the lead and force a timeout from the Heat. After the timeout, the Rockets' offense stalled, and Rozier hit a buzzer-beating jumper, ending the first quarter with the Heat leading 31-27 by 4 points. In the second quarter, during the rotation phase, Shen Jing scored consecutively in the paint, and Armoni Brooks dunked and assisted White Mage to level the score. However, the Heat also made a 3+1, and Herro quickly stabilized the situation. The two teams were evenly matched, and after Adebayo returned, he helped the Heat slightly extend their lead to 6 points. Dillon hit a three-pointer to stop the bleeding, and Shen Jing scored in the paint, but Jalen Green missed several shots after…

The property was sold for 9.5million(about70millionRMB),asignificantdropfromtheinitiallistingpriceof9.5 million (about 70 million RMB), a significant drop from the initial listing price of 9.5million(about70millionRMB),asignificantdropfromtheinitiallistingpriceof29 million, which is nearly a $20 million (about 150 million RMB) reduction, equivalent to selling at 33% of the original asking price. According to reports, the mansion Jordan sold is a complex covering an area of 56,000 square feet (about 5,203 square meters). The basketball star lived there for 19 years and was involved in the interior and exterior decoration of the house. The most eye-catching feature outside the house is a circular infinity pool with a small circular "grass island" in the middle, which serves as the finishing touch when viewed from above. On December 27th local time, the identity of the buyer who acquired Jordan's former mansion was revealed, unsurprisingly, a loyal fan of Jordan. John Cooper, the new owner of the mansion, comes from Lincoln, Nebraska, but has also lived in Chicago for about 10 years. "I remember when I saw this house for sale, I thought it would be really cool if someone could buy it." "The player I admire the most has always been Jordan.

In today's NBA arena, the flames of the 2024-25 season have already burned through about 30 games, with various strong teams vying for dominance in fiercely competitive matches. The race for the MVP has entered a white-hot stage, while the title of scoring champion has also become a focal point of attention. Among them, superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are fiercely competing for this supreme honor. It must be said that the battle for the scoring title this season is particularly significant for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the star player of the Bucks. If he successfully claims the crown, it will leave an indelible mark in NBA history - becoming the first legendary star to collect all major NBA honors. It should be noted that even legendary figures in the basketball world like LeBron James and Michael Jordan have not achieved this feat. At 30 years old, Giannis is in the prime of his career, with his competitive form at its peak. Referring to the long and illustrious careers of stars like James, Durant, and Curry, with Giannis' physical prowess and competitive state, there are at least another five years of peak performance ahead. And after this contract ends, with his abilities, signing another maximum salary contract is almost a certainty. Looking back at Giannis' career, it is truly one filled with honors. He holds one championship trophy and was awarded the Finals MVP, which is the best recognition of his dominance in the finals. Two regular-season MVPs prove that he has always been one of the most…

Translation of the article content into English: The significance of records is to be broken, and this applies equally in the NBA. When Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired in 1989, his career total score was set at 38,387 points, and for the next few decades, the media and fans were unanimous in believing that this record would be permanently sealed. However, two years ago, LeBron James surpassed it, and now he has even refreshed the historical total scoring record to 41,000 points. However, there are some records in the long history of the NBA that are almost impossible to break due to factors such as the era and rules, like towering mountains that cannot be surpassed. So let's take a look at them together. LeBron James' "411" With the development of modern basketball, future players' statistics will inevitably become more explosive, so James' 40,000-point record is not impossible to break. However, James' "411" record will undoubtedly be recorded in history and become one of the hardest records to break in the NBA. It should be noted that even if the difficulty is reduced to 30,000 points + 10,000 rebounds + 10,000 assists, no one has been able to achieve this in history, which requires extremely high personal ability, career length, and state stability. Michael Jordan's Ten Scoring Titles As the universally recognized greatest player in history, Jordan created countless records that later generations found difficult to match, but the hardest to break is undoubtedly 10 scoring titles. Even top scorers in history like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Allen Iverson…

On December 28th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. In today's game, the young Houston Rockets played at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Before this game, the Rockets were ranked second in the West. The two teams had met once before, with the Rockets defeating the Timberwolves in that game. In today's match, the Rockets were without their two main players, Dillon and Ethan, while the Timberwolves hoped to complete their revenge on the Rockets' home court. In the first quarter, the Rockets started strong with a 9-3 lead and quickly took the lead. The Timberwolves responded with 7 consecutive points to overtake the score. The two teams then engaged in a tightly contested battle with the lead changing hands. Edwards' buzzer-beating counterattack helped them end the first quarter with a 1-point lead over the Rockets. In the second quarter, the Timberwolves unleashed their outside shooting, with DiVincenzo and Edwards continuously hitting three-pointers, giving the Timberwolves a double-digit lead. The Rockets attempted to close the gap, but at halftime, they trailed the Timberwolves by 5 points. After halftime, the Timberwolves' offense suddenly stalled, with Edwards scoring only 1 point in the third quarter. The Rockets' defense began to show results, as the Timberwolves failed to score more than 20 points in the quarter, allowing the Rockets to quickly take the lead. In the fourth quarter, the Rockets maintained a lead of over 10 points. After Xiao Smith hit two consecutive three-pointers, the Rockets had extended their lead to 15 points over the Timberwolves. However, the game took an unexpected…

Harden: Only four people in the NBA have truly influenced the world, and I am not qualified yet Throughout NBA history, many epoch-making superstars have emerged, from Russell to Dr. J, from Jordan to Kobe, from James to Curry. The existence of these players has not only made basketball one of the most popular sports but also made the NBA one of the most influential sporting events. However, when it comes to the true global influence of the NBA, there are very few who can reach that level, and they must possess a combination of skills, popularity, quality, and image. Recently, James Harden, a star player for the Clippers, was interviewed, during which he discussed the four players he considers to be the most influential. Harden also stated that only their influence could reach a worldwide scale. Let's take a look at who is on Harden's list. Jordan As we all know, Jordan is hailed as the "God of Basketball." His career is filled with legendary achievements, including six championships with the Chicago Bulls, six Finals MVPs, five regular-season MVPs, ten scoring titles, and more. It's worth noting that these accomplishments were achieved despite Jordan retiring twice. Jordan not only left a deep mark on the court but also extended his influence beyond basketball. His "Air" image has become part of global culture, and his shoe series, "Air Jordan," remains a benchmark for fashion and basketball culture to this day. Kobe As one of the greatest players of this era, Kobe's career was equally brilliant, with five NBA championships, two…
