Surprise!Durant set the bar for greatness super high, James met the mark, Jordan couldn't
Phoenix Suns shooter Kevin Durant paid tribute to LeBron James at the NBA's All-Star Game.
Recently, Suns star Durant interviewed his former rival James on the podcast "Boardroom".
Durant praised James: At the age of 39, you have a 20-year career, you dedicate half of your life to the NBA, you play with about 40% of the NBA players, and that 'longevity' is a good sign.
We all know how difficult it is for a person to do the same thing day after day. In my opinion, that's greatness. That's why I admire LeBron because he loves the sport and that's it.
To be honest, I never thought Durant could rate a person as great as LeBron James or as strong as Michael Jordan.
James really seems to be a great player in NBA history.
LeBron James joined the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003 after graduating from high school, making him the oldest in the NBA. In 20 years, James has won multiple NBA championships, and his stats are the highest. He recently surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the highest scorer in NBA history.
James is also the youngest player in league history to score 15,000 points, and with season and playoff numbers, he's likely to surpass 50,000. James has been in his career for 20 years, and counting this, he has been an All-Star Game for 20 years.
Durant has a brilliant record, and at the beginning of the year, Death Durant surpassed Moses Malone to become the NBA's highest scoring leader. Moreover, he has been playing in his career for almost 20 years and has played well in every team he has served.
Durant averaged more than 28 points per game with the Suns this season, his highest level since serving the Brooklyn District in 2022-23, and Durant was also selected 14 times as a member of the NBA's All-Star Game.
James and Durant were both starters during this year's All-Star Weekend, and they will team up again when James takes over.
Durant showed James the respect he has for his long history with the team. He insisted that if an athlete could continue to be a regular for 20 seasons, his life would be very profound.
In a fiercely competitive, fast-changing league, James' winning streak is not just an achievement for him, his professionalism and work attitude are also on full display.
In addition, Durant is also proud of his career, especially this season when he has performed well on many teams. His views show the team's recognition of the dedication and quality of each player, and also shows that the NBA is very important to the career development of athletes.
This NBA game, the reunion of the two people, is also a collision between the two big stars. James' long tenure has brought glory to the team not just for him, but for the league and other young talent. His achievements have had a profound impact on the development of the whole world and set the direction for future generations.
And the duel between Durant and James makes this duel full of highlights. The All-Star Game is not only a celebration of the individual achievements of the two superstars, but also a tribute to the spirit of basketball, skill and teamwork.
This significant event highlights that the NBA is a sporting event that attracts the attention of the world, as well as attracting more fans to love their football and the attention of stars.
