Last year, James received over 2 million votes in the first round, leading the Western Conference…

Curry: I earn 740 million a year, James: I earn 930 million, he: Please step aside With the official end of 2024, Forbes recently released the top 10 highest-paid athletes of 2024, with three NBA players and five football players making the list.

This season of the NBA can truly be described as a display of diverse talents and unexpected developments! As the season progresses, both the Thunder in the West and the Cavaliers in the East have consistently shown dominant performances, maintaining their positions as leaders. The Thunder have achieved a remarkable 12-game winning streak, with a record of 27 wins and 5 losses, securing the top spot in the West with a five-game lead over the second-place team. Similarly, the Cavaliers in the East have been steadily winning games, demonstrating their dominance with a record of 29 wins and 4 losses, leading the second-place Celtics by five games. The Thunder and Cavaliers represent the epitome of stability this season. However, there are also teams within the league that started poorly but managed to turn things around later in the season. Notable examples include the Grizzlies and Mavericks from the West, as well as the Bucks and 76ers from the East. These teams did not perform well at the beginning of the season; the Bucks and 76ers were even ranked at the bottom of the Eastern Conference for an extended period. But in the past month or so, they have rediscovered their winning ways. In their last 19 games, the Bucks have won 14, propelling them to fifth place in the East. The 76ers have won 10 out of their last 13 games, moving up from last place in the East to eleventh. They are the epitome of teams that started slow but picked up momentum later. On the other hand, there…

On December 31st, Beijing time, the Warriors played against the Cavaliers at home, and the game ended with the Warriors losing to the Cavaliers 95-113. In this game, the Warriors' three-point shooting was only 9 out of 38, with a shooting percentage of just 33.3%. In contrast, the Cavaliers made 18 out of 47 three-pointers, including an impressive 8 out of 14 in the third quarter. When the Cavaliers were able to execute such an offensive performance, the Warriors found it difficult to keep up. To make matters worse, the Warriors also committed 14 turnovers in the game, and despite earning 26 free throw attempts, they only managed to convert 20 of them. It can be said that in this game, the Cavaliers' offense completely overwhelmed the Warriors, so the Warriors' loss was not undeserved. In this season, Steve Kerr's player rotation has been criticized by many, especially his use of Bjelica, which has been particularly questioned. Kerr's post-game comments have once again drawn criticism. After the game, Kerr said in an interview: "I may feel better about our young players now than ever before. I mentioned a few nights ago that I think Kuminga is making a breakthrough in terms of his understanding of things. I believe Davis is also making a leap. I love Bjelica, and I like what he brings to the table: his tenacity, his toughness, and his basketball IQ." While many did not object to Kerr praising Kuminga and Davis, his praise for Bjelica was met with skepticism. Compared to his rookie season, Bjelica has…

Among them, James once again ranked first, which is also his 11th consecutive year at the top. Curry and Durant followed closely behind, ranking second and third respectively. So, let's take a look at the specific rankings. James As the face of the league in this era, James' ability to attract money does not need to be overstated. He receives various commercial endorsements and his jerseys, shoes, and other peripheral products are sold out all year round. In 2024, James' annual income reached 128.7million,approximatelyRMB939.4million,breakinghispreviousrecordof128.7 million, approximately RMB 939.4 million, breaking his previous record of 128.7million,approximatelyRMB939.4million,breakinghispreviousrecordof124.5 million.

As the regular season progresses, some teams in the league inevitably encounter bottlenecks. For example, the Kings have fallen from dark horses in the West to the bottom of the standings. After a recent five-game losing streak, the Kings unexpectedly fired head coach Mike Brown, and their core players were also put on the trading block. The Suns, with the most luxurious lineup in the league, have three top scorers in Durant, Booker, and Beal, but their record is lukewarm, hovering around the play-in tournament, somewhat lacking substance. The Bulls have been mired in trade rumors since the start of the season. Their star player, Zach LaVine, has a huge garbage contract that no one in the market wants, leaving the Bulls in an awkward position, finding it difficult to rebuild or improve their record. If they don't make adjustments to their roster soon, they will have wasted these years. Similarly, the Warriors and Heat have also encountered difficulties recently. The Warriors started high this season but then went low, with a combined record of 12 wins and 3 losses in the first 15 regular-season games, once ranking first in the West. However, in the next 15 games, the Warriors only managed 3 wins and 12 losses, reversing their record from the previous 15 games, with a win rate back to 50%, falling to the middle and lower reaches of the Western Conference. Looking at the data, the Warriors' core scoring points have declined. Curry, who has the highest salary in the league, averages only 22.5 points this season, with…

Making 2500 three-point shots in the NBA is incredibly difficult! Currently, only six players have achieved this feat. Who are they? Let's discuss this, and as an NBA record holder who frequently sets incredible milestones or breaks records, how far is LeBron James from reaching this goal? I'm sure you're eager to know as well. Reggie Miller has made 2560 three-point shots in 1389 games with a three-point shooting percentage of 39.5%. Miller is an idol for many current NBA three-point shooters, including Klay Thompson. After surpassing his predecessor in three-point shots made, Thompson gave his jersey to Miller. Miller played 18 seasons in the NBA, all with the Pacers, attempting 6486 three-point shots and making 2560. Klay Thompson has made 2563 three-point shots in 820 games with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%. Thompson is currently in his 13th season, having missed one due to injury. He reached 2563 three-point shots in just 820 games, demonstrating that he takes more three-point shots and has a higher shooting percentage, specifically attempting 6222 three-point shots. Damian Lillard has made 2683 three-point shots in 864 games with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.1%. Lillard was unable to complete the NBA's most beautiful story of "one person, one city," but he did get the opportunity to compete for the championship and has already won the NBA Cup. In his career so far, he has attempted 7237 three-point shots, which is very productive, although his shooting percentage is slightly lower than Thompson and Miller. Ray Allen has made 2973 three-point shots in 1300 games…

The NBA's best lineup has only 15 spots each year, which is a more prestigious individual honor than being an All-Star. Among these, the first team consists of two backcourt players and three frontcourt players, essentially representing the league's top five players for that season. Therefore, being selected to the first team is highly valued and challenging. So, how many times have current superstars been selected to the first team? Irving has never been selected, Curry and Jokic four times each, and Harden six times, ranking only second. Irving is undoubtedly talented, but he has never reached the level of a superstar. Whether in terms of personal performance or leadership ability, he does not rank among the top tier, hence he has never been selected to the first team in his 13-year career. However, his one-on-one scoring ability in critical moments is top-notch in the league. Similarly, Butler, despite leading his team to the finals twice, has also never been selected to the first team, illustrating just how difficult it is to be chosen. Westbrook was also a formidable player during his peak, a versatile warrior, especially during his time with the Thunder. He achieved the remarkable feat of averaging a triple-double and won the scoring title twice and the assist title twice. However, even as strong as Westbrook is, he has only made it to the first team twice, in 2016 and 2017. The competition at point guard is incredibly fierce. Curry, on the other hand, has had it slightly better. He has won two MVP awards in his…
