NBA》Wembanyama評比歷史最佳先發五人 Curry、James都名列其中
文班亞瑪說道：「我會選擇柯瑞(Stephen Curry)、喬丹(Michael Jordan)、詹姆士(LeBron James)、鄧肯(Tim Duncan)和歐尼爾(Shaquille O'Neal)。」

這個陣容並不讓人太意外，不過還是有幾個耐人尋味的地方，首先，文班亞瑪在控衛部份挑選了柯瑞，而不是許多資深球迷可能比較屬意的魔術強森(Magic Johnson)，然而文班亞瑪過去已經多次公開讚揚柯瑞對現代籃球的巨大影響力，去年文班亞瑪領軍的法國隊也是被柯瑞的三分雨澆熄金牌夢。
喬丹和詹姆士都被文班亞瑪放進最佳陣容，非常巧妙地迴避誰才是GOAT的難解爭論。大前鋒部份，文班亞瑪也很「識相」地選擇了自家前輩鄧肯，如何讓馬刺在後鄧肯時代重返榮耀，也逐漸成為文班亞瑪肩上的重擔，馬刺隊目前已經連續6個賽季無緣季後賽。
年僅21歲的文班亞瑪，這個賽季因為右肩出現血栓而提前報銷，整季只打了46場比賽，有點不可思議的是，他的176個阻攻數依舊高居全聯盟之冠。馬刺球團目前還不確定文班亞瑪的復出時程，他近期到中國少林寺進行10天閉關休行，也是希望能讓自己體驗一些從來沒經歷過的活動，藉此提升自己身體的力量和延展性。

Victor Wembanyama's surprising but glowing statement about LeBron James
LeBron James has gotten just about as much praise and as many accolades as any other NBA player over the last two decades. He has won four MVPs and championships and become the league's all-time career scoring leader, and he is considered by many to be one of the two or three greatest players in basketball history, whether fans agree or disagree with that assessment. It has gotten to the point where some may take his greatness and production for granted. As he enters his record 23rd NBA season, he is coming off a season in which he continued to play at a superstar level and earned a spot on the All-NBA Second Team. San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama is quickly evolving into a superstar himself, and he is one of a few leading lights who could take the proverbial torch from James. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), he was asked whose game is most underrated, and he surprisingly said James. There has been talk that the 40-year-old doesn't quite have the same type of offensive bag or skill sets as some of the other great scorers in the league, past and present. But he has improved his 3-point shooting over the last two years, and that has been a key to his insane longevity. James averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds a game while shooting 51.3% from the field and 37.6% from 3-point range this past season. During the 2023-24 campaign, he made a career-high 41% of his 3-point attempts. The 2025-26 season is the final year of his current contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. While he's still around and playing at a high level, both his fans and haters should appreciate his abilities on the court.

Larry Bird knew he still had it after hitting 20 shots in a row in his 60s: "I can still play a little"
Larry Bird knew he still had it after hitting 20 shots in a row in his 60s: "I can still play a little" originally appeared on Basketball Network. Nothing ever stopped Larry Bird from retiring when he decided that he was done with basketball in 1992. Though he remained in the NBA as a coach and later as a team executive, Bird never felt the itch to suit up and play again. Unlike other retired former NBA stars, Bird was very much at peace with his departure from the game. He had no hang-ups, even though he was prompted to call it quits because of chronic back pain. However, Bird realized that his hot hand hasn't diminished one bit. It's worth mentioning that he was already in his 60s when he randomly decided to pick the ball up after an Indiana Pacers practice and discovered that he still had it. "I'm having a good time, I have the time to enjoy working outside, golfing, fishing, staying busy with various business and personal projects," the Boston Celtics legend told The Boston Herald in 2021. "I pretty much put the basketball down when I retired, but I did hit 20 shots in a row after a game practice a couple of years ago in my street clothes, so I am thinking I can still play a little," the Hall of Famer fondly revealed. Bird has a witness As it turns out, no lies were detected in Bird's story. Former Pacers star shooting guard Paul George once confirmed it. In fact, it was one of George's favorite Larry Legend moments during his time with the Pacers. Just like how Bird described it, George said the NBA icon was in street clothes that day. To this day, PG13 is still in disbelief at how a 60-something Bird could sink long-range shot after long-range shot. What's even more epic is that Bird just walked out like nothing happened after making those shots in front of the team. "One of my all-time favorite stories of Larry; it was after practice, right?" PG once recounted. "We're shooting, and he's like walking out of the gym, about to leave. I've never seen him play. I've never seen him shoot. I always had this vision of him from YouTube videos and old clips like that. But the ball rolls over to him. He's in slacks. He's in a button-down. He got his loafers on." "So, he picks the ball up, and I'm sure he probably hasn't shot the ball in like, I don't know, years at this point. Shoots that motherfu*ker, cash, and then just smooth walked out, bro," then Pacers star added. Bird's greatness is timeless What Bird did inside the Pacers' practice facility that day only goes to show that his greatness is timeless. While some of his contemporaries were already out of shape, Larry Legend could still casually drain jump shots without any practice or warm-up. At present, Bird was welcomed back by the Pacers and is working with the team as a consultant. He is already 68 years old, but it wouldn't be a shock to hear another story about him showing up in the gym, picking up a basketball and hitting long-range like it is the middle of the story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Lakers jersey history No. 4 — Adrian Dantley
Through the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, going back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good and a select few were flat-out legendary. As the Lakers approach their 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years. Here's a look at a player who some may not know once played for the Lakers — Adrian Dantley. Dantley had a stellar individual stint at the University of Notre Dame, not exactly a school known for its basketball program. In three years there, he averaged 25.8 points and 9.8 rebounds a game, and he peaked at 30.4 points a game as a sophomore. When he was a freshman during the 1973-74 season, the Fighting Irish were the team that ended the University of California, Los Angeles' 88-game winning streak. The Bruins were led by legends such as center Bill Walton and forward Jamaal Wilkes and were coached by the iconic John Wooden. Just after his college career ended, Dantley earned an Olympic gold medal with the United States. He was taken with the No. 6 pick in the 1976 NBA Draft by the Buffalo Braves. Early in his second NBA season, he was traded to the Lakers. The Lakers were trying to build a championship team around Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and he didn't do too badly. In one and a half seasons with them, he averaged 18.3 points a game while shooting 51.5% from the field. But L.A. was simply too unbalanced to get over the hump. It had Dantley, a 6-foot-5 forward, and Wilkes, who was 6-foot-6, starting at the forward spots, and neither was able to support Abdul-Jabbar defensively or on the boards. With Magic Johnson coming on board as a rookie in 1979, the Lakers traded Dantley to the Utah Jazz for the talented but troubled Spencer Haywood. In Utah, he truly started to blossom — he would average 29.6 points a game in seven seasons with the Jazz and lead the NBA in scoring twice. He then played two seasons and change with the Detroit Pistons before getting traded to the Dallas Mavericks midway through the 1988-89 campaign. No matter where he went, Dantley made an impact with his immense scoring skills. Despite his less-than-ideal height as a small forward, he had an excellent low-post game, and he was also a free throw magnet who shot 81.8% from the charity stripe for his career.
