1 USD 52.6 million, James revealed his voice

Jam is the No. 1 pick in the 2003 class and the oldest player in the active NBA. He will be 41 years old in just 50 days away. James is also a real league Ivy League legend, the older he gets, the more evil he gets. Last season, James played 70 games for the Lakers, averaging 24.4 points + 7.8 rebounds + 8.2 assists + 1 steal; in five playoffs, James averaged 25.4 points + 9 rebounds + 5.6 assists + 2 steals + 1.8 blocks. At the same time, James also completed the 42,000-point mark in the regular season and the 50,000-point mark in his career, which shocked the past and present! This is Lao Zhan. He is still so powerful at the age of 40. It’s so amazing.

This year's offseason, James executed the player option worth $52.6 million in the last year, which was the first time in his career! If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. No one knows what medicine is in Zhan’s gourd. It was not until during the trip to China that James became the first NBA player to write for the Chinese official media People's Daily that we discovered that a different James was full of warmth! He expressed his voice in this article: Basketball is not only a sport, but also a bridge connecting each other, and love flows in his heart. Age is just a number, as long as I still play, I will try my best to become the best player. This is Lao Zhan. His love for basketball made him determined to devote himself to it and continue the legend. James is about to start his 23rd season of his career. According to NBA famous reporter Brian Windhorst, he has not yet decided whether the new season will be the last dance.

1 USD 3.6 million, Paul's last dance was the No. 4 show in 2005, and he is over 40 years old. According to statistics, Paul is the second oldest active star in the NBA league, second only to James. If James is the executive vice-president GOAT who is below one person and above ten thousand people, then Paul is recognized as the god of contemporary point guards. From his rise to his strength during the Hornets period to his cleverness during the Clippers period, from his dream back to his peak during the Rockets' Suns period to his Thunder Warriors' Spurs period to his remaining energy, Paul interprets the magic of the god of point guards, which can always make the team's record better. If you don't accept it, you can't accept it. Last season, Paul maintained full attendance in 82 games, averaging 8.8 points + 3.6 rebounds + 7.4 assists + 1.3 steals per game, and the assist and turnover ratio was as high as 4.7, ranking third in the league. According to statistics, Paul is the oldest player in NBA history to maintain full attendance.

During this offseason, Paul and the Clippers reached a one-year, $3.6 million minimum salary contract. According to statistics, this is the first time Paul has accepted a basic salary contract in his career. In another statistics, the new season will be Paul's 21st season in his career. He became the first point guard in NBA history to compete for 21 seasons, unprecedented! Meanwhile, Paul made an early decision: the new season will be the last dance of his career. In a sense, Paul accepted the basic salary and returned to the highest point of his career to end his career not only to avoid getting close to home, but also a kind of decency and glory!

The most inspirational veterans in the NBA, don't care too much about the last dance

Whether James or Paul, they are all inspirational models of the NBA league's older and more demons. They have written a brilliant career with their unparalleled battery life and are inspiring to move forward! Paul has decided on his last dance, which is hard to say goodbye; James has not decided on his last dance yet, but this moment will eventually come. The salary of James and Paul may be different, and the distance between James and Paul and the championship may also be different, but as James said: All this has nothing to do with money or winning or losing. As long as the love for basketball flows in his heart, as long as he can give his all every time he plays, they can use basketball to inspire generations to pursue their dreams! So, don’t care too much about the last dance. What should come will always come. Everything is the best arrangement. Please cherish it! Fans, what do you think about this?
