No. 1 in history! No. 2 in the league! The older the NBA, the more demons the older you are, and James wants to learn from Durant

The NBA offseason is coming to an end, and the footsteps of the new season are getting closer and closer. The US media has selected the league's small forward rankings for the new season. The details are as follows: James ranks first, Durant ranks second, Wagner Jr. ranks third, and 4-10th are Barnes, Ka Jr., Bridges, Anunobi, Butler, DeRozan and Avdia. Rather than saying that this list is a microcosm of the decline of small forward talents, it is better to say that James Durant becomes more and more charismatic as he grows older. The NBA big and big kings deserve it, and it is definitely not a false reputation.

1 year 52.63 million US dollars, James' scoring history 1

This year's offseason, the Lakers' operations can be described in eight words: constant movements and little movement. The Lakers successively introduced Laravia, Ayton and Smart at a bargain price, and signed a three-year, $161 million early contract renewal with Doncic. Before that, James decided to implement the player option worth $52.63 million in the last year. This is the first time James has implemented a player option in his career. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. If we want to trace the root cause, the key is that the Lakers should focus on Doncic and not be afraid of the future and are unwilling to provide James with a longer contract. Of course, this does not affect James' continued control of his destiny. After all, he is the Ivy, the older the alliance, and he is also a man with the veto power of trading.

Last season, James played 70 regular season games for the Lakers, averaging 24.4 points + 7.8 rebounds + 8.2 assists + 1 steal + 2.1 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 51.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%. According to statistics from the NBA official website, James' total score in his regular season career has reached 42,184 points, far ahead and ranked first in NBA history. He will continue to set a new record for the NBA historical scoring champion he has maintained. At the same time, James' total career score (regular season + playoffs) has reached 50,473 points. He is the first player in NBA history to complete the total score exceeding 50,000 mark, unprecedented! This is James. No matter whether next season is the last dance of the Lakers or the last dance of his NBA career, he can continue his legend with light clothes.

$53.28 million in Durant's scoring league, Durant once said in an interview that following James' success is something he has been doing. However, luck makes people beat people, James can only be imitated and cannot be surpassed - James is the only star in NBA history to win NBA championships and win FMVP on behalf of three teams, while Durant won two championships + 2 FMVPs with the Warriors, but he never escaped the closed loop of Green's formula. During this offseason, Durant and the Suns got together and joined the Rockets as they wished. He will lead this young guard to strive for the championship again in the new season, with opportunities and challenges coexisting!

Durant's contract has 1 year and 53.28 million US dollars. According to the 38-year-old NBA labor-management agreement, Durant can renew a 2-year, $122 million maximum salary contract with the Rockets in advance, or wait until 6 months later to sign a 2-year, $124 million maximum salary contract. Last season, Durant played 62 games for the Suns, averaging 26.6 points + 6 rebounds + 4.2 assists + 2.6 three-pointers, shooting percentage as high as 52.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 43%. In this process, Durant completed the 30,000-point mark, and he ranked second in the NBA with 30,571 points, and is also the only star outside James to complete the 30,000-point mark. There is no doubt that Durant is the last piece of the Rockets' puzzle to win the championship. According to US media, Durant and the Rockets will most likely complete a two-year salary renewal contract of $100 million, which is also the best situation for the Rockets and Durant to go to the best in both directions.

The older the NBA, the more evil the older the NBA, the more evil it is. James wants to learn from Durant that he has 4 championships + 4 FMVPs, and his total career salary reaches 584 million US dollars; Durant has 2 championships + 2 FMVPs, and his total career salary reaches 512 million US dollars. They are the real big and small kings in the NBA league, the winner in life, and win both fame and fortune. The older they get, the more demons they become. Even if they retire on the spot, they can be 100% in the Hall of Fame! However, James and Durant still shoulder the mission and have a long way to go. In the words of fans, before the new generation of stars in the league grew up, James and Durant were still among the top traffic leaders in the league, and there was a long way to go.

Just today, Durant revealed on his podcast that he is willing to participate in a one-on-one single-million dollar prize during the 2026 All-Star Weekend. Durant is one of the best singles in NBA history, and he should really stand up and save the All-Star Weekend. We don’t expect James to stand up and have a one-on-one single-match with Durant, but then again, James should learn from Durant and use what he is best at completing the scene that fans are most looking forward to - participating in the slam dunk competition to save the slam dunk competition, and making up for the regrets of the entire NBA league and the entire youth of thousands of fans! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
