Durant 31.4 points, Curry 30.3 points, James is still improving
After the start of the new NBA season, although there are many young players who have played very strong individual performances, such as Alexander, Maxey, Edwards and Tatum, etc., the performance of the veterans is not bad, and the performance is not inferior to the young players at all. The American media NBA Central posted the performance of the three superstars James, Durant and Curry in the new season, they are all over 35 years old, but their performance is still the top in the league.
Among these three players, Durant is the strongest in the new season, he played a total of 13 games for the Suns, playing 37.2 minutes per game, which ranks third in the league, and he can deliver 31.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 blocks of comprehensive statistics, shooting 52.8%, three-point shooting rate of 49.2%, free throw shooting rate of 87.3%, true shooting rate of 64.7%, he is currently the second highest scoring average in the league, second only to Embiid.
It's incredible that the 35-year-old Durant is still able to play like this at this stage after suffering a serious injury. In the case of the Suns' lack of major generals and the frequent absence of the two main players, Durant carried the team's offensive banner alone, hitting shots at critical moments many times to save the team, and this season's Durant can be said to have played an MVP-level performance again.
Curry has also had a strong season this season, averaging 33.2 minutes per game in 12 games for the team, averaging 30.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 48% from the field, 44.7% from three-point range, 93.3% from the free throw line and 67.5% from the free throw line. Curry is also 35 years old, but he is still able to play at a dominant level on the court, helping the team with his crazy outside shooting. He currently ranks fourth in the league in scoring, making 67 three-pointers in 12 games, averaging 5.6 three-pointers per game, both of which rank first in the league, and there is no downward trend at all.
James is the oldest of the three players, he is about to turn 39 years old, and in his 21st season, he can still get 26.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.7 steals, shooting 58.6% from the field, 39.7% from three-point range, and 67.1% from the field. According to statistics, James' overall shooting percentage, two-point shooting percentage and true shooting percentage this season have set a new career high.
Looking at the above data, I just want to say that although there are many young players in the league at present, they are also touted by the media as the new face of the league. But so far, these three players are irreplaceable, they are still some of the best players in the league, and even after their prime, their performance and performance are still in the top class.
