Signed, signed! Long time no see, NBA No. 1 James

Basketball

At the beginning of the article, let’s first look at the following particularly interesting picture:

I believe that when you see this familiar and very picture-like picture again, you will immediately think of the nickname of "Junior Brother" Stephenson: NBA No. 1 Zhan! In the 2014 Eastern Conference Finals G5, Stephenson, who was playing for the Pacers, incredibly blew into James' ears while defending Heat core LeBron James. And as this funny scene was captured and recorded by the camera, fans have since joked that Stephenson has been the first "Jane" in the league. It is obvious that "junior brother" Zhan Chui is different from others. Others praise James, but he is playing James's ears seriously. Therefore, he is the most veritable number one in the league!

In the blink of an eye, Stephenson has left the NBA for a full three years! His last league match was dated back to the 2021-22 season. Stephenson played 40 regular season games for his old club Pacers, averaging 18.6 minutes per game, scoring 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He shot 45.8%, shot 31% from three-pointers and 79.5% free throws. But since the 2021-22 season, Stephenson has completely disappeared in the league to this day!

Unknown to me, Stephenson has been away from the NBA for three years, which is somewhat surprising! After all, he was born in September 1990 and is now under 35 years old. This should be the age when a player shows off his skills, but he has been away from the NBA for many years, which makes people feel regretful for him! Fortunately, Stephenson is finally going back to the professional arena. Although he is not returning to the NBA, joining BIG3 is actually a good choice!

According to Chris Haynes, a well-known NBA reporter, former NBA player Lance Stephenson will sign in to the BIG3 league. It is reported that this year's BIG3 league will officially start on June 15 local time. This means that in another month, we will see Stephenson put on his shirt and compete in the game again.

Looking forward to Stephenson's BIG debut in the new season! Come on, "Junior Brother"! You will always be the number one NBA player in everyone's mind!
