The competition in the NBA never stops, especially in the second half of the regular season, when teams are battling it out for a playoff spot. The Lakers and Warriors, two perennial giants, have been hovering in the play-in zone this season, and it has become extremely difficult to qualify directly to the top six in the West.
This season, as time goes on, the superstars in the NBA league have also aged. LeBron James is 39 years old, while Durant and Curry are both past the 35-year-old mark. At such an age, the strength of the players will naturally decline. But let's take a look at how these three superstars fared.
First up is the Suns' number one star, Kevin Durant. This season, he is averaging 280 points 67 rebounds 56 assists 09 steals 13 blocks and a shooting percentage of 530% and 42 three-point shooting3% and 86 free throw percentage4%。Durant's performance is still efficient and flashy, and while some say he's not as dominant as he used to be, the stats are still amazing.
Next up is Curry, who is averaging 27. per game this season7 points 42 rebounds 51 assist 08 steals and 45 percent shooting9% and 41 percent from three-point range4% and 92 free throw percentage1%。Curry's three-point prowess is still sharp, and he remains one of the best shooters in the league.
And Lao Zhan is 4 years older than Durant and Curry. This season, he averaged 250 points 72 rebounds 79 assists 13 steals 06 blocks and a shooting percentage of 524% and 40 three-point shooting2% and 74% free throw shooting. While such a statistic might be considered a very good performance for a young player, it is nothing short of remarkable for James. However, it is worth mentioning that at the age of 39, he is still able to set an unprecedented record.
In his past games, James has not only scored 30 points in a single game 14 times, but also included 40 or 30 triple-doubles. He also has many impressive career records, such as scoring double-doubles in 1,202 consecutive games and surpassing the record for all players in league history for a 21st season in total.
While chasing his personal record, Durant is also gradually approaching his own milestone. He has surpassed Anthony in regular season scoring and moved up to ninth place in NBA history, just 1,682 points away from 30,000 points. In addition to James and Durant, other active stars such as Harden, Westbrook, Curry and Paul are also gradually moving towards the milestone of 30,000 points.
In a season full of legends and records, we can see that the superstars are still playing at a high level. Whether it's James' dominance or Durant's magical performance, people are full of anticipation and amazement. Let's look forward to these legendary players continuing to write their own chapters on the field.
