This tweet came a little late, On February 13, Beijing time, in the game against the Warriors, James's career total score in the regular season + playoffs) reached 44152 points, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and becoming the NBA's all-time total scorer! No matter how you black him, or don't like him, James has been "sealed", this game he has a pair of "old shoes", the old Ji Futuo, the ambition of a thousand miles, has been 37 years old, when to stop?
Although the game against the Warriors lost, James's last-minute free throw was not hit, but the milestone is a milestone, he is 37 years old, every time he plays one more game, there will be a new record born, the team's record is very poor, the overall atmosphere is not particularly good, maybe the Lakers can not even enter the playoffs this season, but James's physical condition is obviously not to the point of retirement.
However, old Zhan is visible to the naked eye, before he was not very injured, this season was injured several times, the feet have been broken several times, the previous LBJ16 generation, 17 generation, the midsole is so high, the upper protection is so weak, old Zhan can rely on superhuman physical quality to carry over, this season, in the face of the LBJ19 generation with a high center of gravity, he seems to be a little powerless, preferring to wear a pair of "envoy 13" many years ago, rather than wear the main generation.
All kinds of signs are indicating that old Zhan is older, but not yet to such a serious extent, he can still dominate the game, but also hit key balls, but also average more than 20 points per game, that is, in some places, dog brother feels that he is a bit incompetent, once James, will be the "playoff ticket", but in the future, may be everyone to adapt to it, there is no James's playoffs.
Old Zhan has a lot of fans, black powder is also particularly many, he has more points of controversy, as a superstar, Brother Dog feels that these are all accompanied by each other, in the spotlight, there are few, or almost no, white and flawless people, Kobe Bryant's body also has many controversial points, Chamberlain, Abbas, Magician, MJ, who has black powder, who has "stains", but their career has long ended, Old Zhan's career, there should be a long time from the end.
At this time, will Old Zhan think about his retirement? At present, the Lakers' record is very poor, but the Cavaliers' record is surprisingly good, will he have the idea of "falling leaves to the roots"? Or, fight again, to try to win the championship? From some of the dynamics of the brand, it seems that nike and James have been cooperating for more than 18 years, and in the old Zhan high school, the two sides signed a seven-year 90 million award contract.
In these 7 years, the main generation has several pairs, which is a branch "soldier" and some PE models and leisure models, and Lao Zhan has created a revenue of 340 million US dollars a year. In 2015, Lao Zhan and Nike signed a lifetime contract, his signature shoes have been Nike's flagship model, as early as a few years ago, Nike began to bring back the classic sneakers of Lao Zhan, for old shoe fans, this is really a very exciting thing, a lot of the classic color of the year returned, there are some of the "no sale" styles of the year, and now also meet with everyone.
But for the entire market, the old Zhan's signature shoes competitiveness does not seem to be large, the positive generation is almost a regular customer of the discount store, those classic models many new shoe fans have not seen, the market heat is not high, which may also be related to the old Zhan's competitive state, refer to the previous Nike's routine for Kobe, FTB, master road and other styles of popularity is quite high, and now, these products are almost to the point of no market.
But the premise is that Kobe Bryant retired, these shoes have become classics, old Zhan's competitive state is still quite good, you say that he will retire in a few years is possible, but it is almost impossible to retire immediately. But Nike's approach also illustrates some problems, the brand has begun the "retirement" of the old Zhan, to fully squeeze the value of him, the positive generation continues to update the case, the old model is also slowly returning.
If old Zhan wants to return to the Cavaliers, it is also possible, maybe in the last few years of his career, he will return with his own good competitive state, and then give his hometown some attention, Brother Dog feels that he should still be in the Lakers in the last one or two years, even if this team is not very good, but the exposure is high, the big city for old Zhan, also means more resources, back to Cleveland, it is not the time.
If Old Zhan really retired, will there be players like him in the league? That is, who is James's successor? When Kobe Bryant retired before, we were saying, who can replace Kobe? At present, no player in the league can fully take over the banner of Kobe, but the spirit of Mamba has been passed on, and there are many disciples of Kobe in the league, DeRozan, Booker, Lavin, Irving, Tatum...
Kobe Bryant is gone, but there is still his "figure" in the league, and when old Zhan retires, can there be his successor in the league? In recent years, in fact, the alliance is also deliberately "star-making", the previous KD, today's alphabet brother, and the new generation of Zion, at present, KD is walking a path of its own, it is very difficult, but I think everyone is impressed by him.
Alphabet brother was "pushed" to the top last year, the Bucks won the championship, alphabet brother "spring breeze triumphant", but his popularity does not seem to be high, some of the team's practices are also quite controversial, he may be the closest to James in terms of playing style, but probably most people do not recognize him, let alphabet brother take over the banner of old Zhan? This doesn't seem to be very reliable either.
Zion was blown around when he didn't enter the league, and now he's plagued by injuries, plus he's not disciplined at all, and his weight is directly overweight, not to mention compared to James, he can play well for a season, even if he succeeds. From this point of view, it seems that no one in the NBA can take over the banner of old Zhan, if you look at it from this point of view, James's historical status may be higher.
For old Zhan, brother dog still hopes that he can continue to play healthy and healthy, the Lakers' record is better if it can be more beautiful, and I hope that Nike can make a pair of signed shoes for him from James's point of view, the center of gravity is not so high, and there is no need to pile up materials, protective enough, suitable for old Zhan on the line. Well, this content is here, do you think old Zhan can play for a few years? What do you think of this player? Welcome to leave a message in the background and discuss with the dog brother.
