On January 31, Beijing time, in the past night, there were 3 messages from the NBA, let's take a look.
Curry is the most popular
Today, the NBA officially released the top 15 list of league jersey sales in the first half of this season (23-24 season), and the results show that Warriors star Stephen Curry ranks first, Green Army leader Tatum follows, and Lakers veteran James ranks third, the specific rankings are: 1, Curry, 2, Tatum, 3, James, 4, Wembanyama, 5, Brother Alphabet, 6, Doncic, 7, Booker, 8, Durant, 9, Maxey, 10, Lillard, 11, Morant, 12, Embiid, 13, three-ball, 14, Jokic, 15, Fox.
Although the Warriors' record this season is quite struggling, ranking 12th in the West with only 19 wins and 24 losses, and Curry's personal performance has also declined significantly compared with last season, it is not difficult to see from this jersey sales list that Curry's popularity and popularity are still the top in the league, or even one of them! After all, paying for a jersey with real money is much more valuable than an All-Star fan vote and popularity survey.
The rookie roster is out
Today, the NBA officially announced the 28 players in the 24 Indiana All-Star Rookie Challenge (21 of which are NBA first- or second-year players, and 7 are development league players), the NBA players are: Wembanyama (Spurs), Holmgren (Thunder), Jalen Williams (Thunder), Carson Wallace (Thunder), Banchero (Magic), Podzemski (Warriors), Daniels (Pelicans), Jordan Hawkins (Pelicans), Duren (Pistons), Ivey (Pistons), Kessler (Jazz), Mathurin (Pacers), Keegan Murray (Kings), Sharpe (Trail Blazers), Smith Jr. (Rockets), Kalidou Koulibaly (Wizards), Kionte George (Jazz), Scout Henderson (Trail Blazers), Halkes (Heat), Lively (Mavericks), Brandon Miller (Hornets). It's a pity that Whitmore, a Rockets titan who plays a lot of fun and watches, missed this rookie game because his appearance was too low.
At the same time, the NBA released the rookie game rules, 21 NBA players will be divided into three teams (selected by the famous Carchis, Jalen Rose, and Pau Gasol), 7 players from the Development League will form a team, and four teams will play three games (2 semifinals and 1 final, the team with 40 points in the semifinals will advance, and the team with 25 points in the finals will win the championship). This rookie game can be described as full of highlights, first of all, there are quasi-All-Star level players such as Wenban, Holmgren, Banchero, and Jewe, and the competitiveness is self-evident; Secondly, the development league team should not be underestimated, not only next year's draft favorite "white Durant" Buzzerys, but also last season's NBA dunk king McLang; Finally, a target line with a low score is set, which will allow teams to show higher concentration and quality of attack and defense.
The 76ers are expected to step up
Today, according to well-known American journalist Brett Siegel, Kyle Lowry is in talks with the Hornets about a buyout (currently with $3,000w left on his contract), and once the buyout is reached, Lowry will go to his hometown of Philadelphia to join his mentor. Lowry, 37, played 18 seasons in the NBA, playing in 1,115 regular season games and averaging 31 per game7 minutes to get 144 points 43 rebounds 62 assists 13 steals, 6-time All-Star, 1-time All-Star selection, and 1-time All-Star selection, helped the Raptors win the first championship in franchise history with Nurse in the 18-19 season.
For the 76ers, although Lowry has long since lost his competitive form as he gets older, he can still bring enough help in his limited playing time. On the offensive end, Lowry can shoot well, and he also has the ability to organize and connect with each other at a high level, and he can play the role of the commander of the 76ers' second team; On the defensive end, Lowry has good awareness and ability, and it is difficult for opposing players to bargain on him, and Lowry has the ability to make offensive fouls, which also improves the defensive quality of the 76ers and the error tolerance rate after misalignment to a certain extent. Obviously, if champion point guard Lowry can be signed with a base salary, the overall competitiveness of the 76ers will undoubtedly go up a new level.
