On the NBA court, the years always carve the career of every star mercilessly or mercilessly, and it is a brilliant or bleak ending after all.
With the Lakers losing 4-1 to the Nuggets in the playoffs, LeBron James being eliminated in the first round, Curry missing the playoffs, and Durant being swept, we have to face the reality that the superstars who once dominated the league are gradually giving way to their stage, and their era is slowly coming to an end.
Stephen Curry, the star who changed the game of basketball, brought countless wonderful moments to fans with his long-range three-pointers and smart dribbling. Curry not only left his mark on the court, but also planted the seeds of basketball in the hearts of fans, leading the trend of the small-ball era. But the dynasty will eventually come to an end, the Warriors' iron triangle is slowly aging, and the ability of the troika of Klay, Green, and Curry is deteriorating, and they were eliminated by the Kings in the play-offs this season and missed the playoffs.
And Curry's old rival LeBron James is also eliminated, although he created a miracle of reaching the Western Conference finals last season. An all-around warrior who can do almost anything on the basketball court, he has become an NBA legend with his leadership and all-round skills that have led his team to win accolades time and time again. James' career is like an inspirational movie about how a kid from Akron became the king of world basketball.
Another superstar of the same era, Kevin Durant, was swept out by opponents again in his career, and it is also a difficult question where to go in the future. With his unique height and reach, as well as his unparalleled scoring ability, this scoring machine has become the league's leading scorer and MVP, and he has the scythe of death to reap the victory. Durant's game is like a work of art, and every time he scores, it seems so easy and freehand, but unfortunately this time he can't wait for the scythe of death.
While the signature superstars of the three major leagues missed the finals, the new generation represented by Edwards and Alexander is rising. The young players of the Timberwolves and Thunder are telling us that the future of the NBA belongs to them, and that their speed, power and desire to win are reshaping the face of the league.
However, this is the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one. James, Durant and Curry, whose names will forever be etched in NBA history, have gradually been replaced by emerging powers. This is the law of nature, and it is also the cruelty of competitive sports, and we have to adapt and follow it.
Although the era of Janduku is coming to an end, what they have left us with is not only a glorious moment, but also a spirit, an endless love and pursuit of basketball. In the days to come, these stars will continue to shine in the world of basketball in different ways, either by retiring, or by helping young people grow or taking a back seat.
It's a little sentimental for all basketball fans, but it's also a hopeful one. Let's witness the arrival of a new era together, and at the same time, don't forget to pay tribute to the old stars who have brought us countless touches. This is a beautiful era of basketball, James, Durant, Curry are slowly aging, and they have also brought supergiants such as Antetokounmpo, Jokic, Doncic, Alexander, Edwards, Haliburton, etc., and the excitement and legend of basketball continues.
