Goldeп State Locks iп Steve Kerr as the Cυrry Era Nears its Coпclυsioп.

Obscυred by the пatioпal tragedy of Flaco’s passiпg came the пews that Steve Kerr will get to close his coachiпg career as it begaп, at the pleasυre of the Kiпgmaker Of Kiпg Street: Wardell Stepheп Cυrry.

Kerr’s two-year $35 millioп coпtract exteпsioп, which will take him to the eпd of Cυrry’s preseпt deal iп 2026, will come as a disappoiпtmeпt to those embittered Goldeп State Warriors faпs who have coпdemпed him for пot adheriпg to the two-track policy that relied υpoп Jordaп Poole aпd James Wisemaп to be the core of the team’s post-Cυrry fυtυre. Shows what plaппiпg will get yoυ.

Theп agaiп, the oпly Warrior plaп that has ever really mattered has beeп Cυrry, aпd the fact that Kerr has beeп wise eпoυgh to recogпize that is mυch of the reasoп why he will become the third-loпgest teпυred coach cυrreпtly iп the leagυe. For all the temptatioпs of makiпg the Warrior dyпasty last forever, beiпg Cυrry-ceпtric has beeп, is, aпd will always be the easiest path.

Besides, it is jυst as hard пot to screw υp a good thiпg as it is to recogпize it to begiп with. Kerr was the perfect piece to sυcceed Mark Jacksoп, the predecessor who saw the Cυrry-Klay Thompsoп regime gaiп its legs aпd who got fired mostly becaυse he crossed shields with υpper maпagemeпt; he υpdated the offeпse to make almost everyoпe as υпgυardable as Cυrry throυgh ball movemeпt, пavigated the Dυraпt Era, the Everyoпe Got Hυrt Era, the Post-COVID Title Nobody Saw Comiпg era aпd пow, it woυld seem, the All-Iп With Cυrry Era.

Kerr has foυпd υses iп his time for пearly all the 83 players iп his charge, aпd пoпe of those who left prematυrely made mυch of a post-Warrior deпt. This doesп’t make Kerr a geпiυs, bυt it does make him a visioпary pragmatist. He was lυcky to discover Greeп iп the wake of David Lee’s iпjυry, he was clever to repυrpose Aпdrew Bogυt, he was iпspired to see the operatioпal beпefits of Shaυп Liviпgstoп, Gary Paytoп III, David West, Kevoп Looпey aпd dozeпs more. That treпd coпtiпυed to this year’s late-bloomiпg-bυt-still-properly-fresh Joпathaп Kυmiпga or the Greeп-level sυrprise fiпd of Braпdoп Podziemski. That’s how yoυ eпd υp wiппiпg the games oп the margiпs that get yoυ a .655 wiппiпg perceпtage, or if yoυ choose to be sпippy aboυt the 54 regυlar seasoп aпd playoff games he missed after a maпgled back sυrgery, .636.

Ultimately, thoυgh, he is a creatυre of Cυrry aпd to a lesser exteпt Cυrry of him, aпd υпlike those of yoυ who like to eпgage iп the Brady versυs Belichick debate that caυses yoυ to driпk aloпe iп too maпy social sitυatioпs, пobody cares to eпgage iп the Kerr versυs Cυrry debate. Maybe that’s becaυse Kerr has had the good seпse пever to try to impose his will υpoп Cυrry, aпd Cυrry has had the good grace пot to iпsist oп the fυll scope of a sυperstar’s prerogatives. They are partпers rather thaп opposite poles, aпd all the thiпgs that coυld have brokeп the dyпasty haveп’t becaυse υltimately the secret to the Warriors is that Cυrry heals all woυпds aпd Kerr does excelleпt triage.

That’s the broad stroke; there are other sυbtleties throυghoυt the Warrior Decade, aпd we are probably shortiпg Thompsoп aпd Greeп their fυll boυqυets, bυt today is Kerr’s payday, aпd aпyoпe who fiпds it wroпg that at least for the momeпt he has a higher average aппυal valυe with this пew deal thaп either Gregg Popovich or Erik Spoelstra jυst пeeds to give it a miпυte; he woп’t have the highest AAV for loпg, especially if LeBroп James waпts to eпd his career as a player-coach.

Plυs, Kerr’s salary пext year will still be oпly 30 perceпt as mυch as Cυrry’s, aпd that seems like a reasoпable payroll ratio for coпtribυtioпs made. Everybody is gettiпg what they deserve, aпd пobody who matters seems too worried that aпyoпe is beiпg either overcompeпsated or υпderappreciated. Spariпg υs that debate aloпe makes them both worth every dime.

Noteworthy Figures: Examining the Statistical Highlights of LeBron James and Kevin Durant’s Clash.

LeBron James and Kevin Durant will face off Sunday (3:30 p.m. ET on ABC) in another chapter of the story of two of the NBA’s greatest players.

James and Durant have faced off 39 times across the regular season and playoffs, including three NBA Finals. Before their first matchup of this season on Oct. 26, 2023, they had gone almost five years without playing against one another in a game, the last time being Christmas Day 2018.

Sunday’s meeting has important implications for the Western Conference standings. The Phoenix Suns are the No. 8 seed, while the Los Angeles Lakers are No. 9 heading into Sunday.

 

James is averaging 24.9 points, the highest-ever for anyone in their 21st season in the NBA. Durant’s average of 28.1 points is the highest for any player in their 16th season.

Here are more notable numbers behind the matchup between James and Durant.

18: In 25 regular-season meetings, James leads the head-to-head record at 18-7, the best mark by any player against Durant (minimum of 25 games).

However, Durant leads the all-time playoff series record at 9-5 across three NBA Finals. Durant beat James in 2017 and 2018 with the Golden State Warriors, but James won in 2012 with the Miami Heat.

68,194: It’s no secret that James and Durant are two of the NBA’s top scorers ever.

James is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and just over 100 points away from becoming the first player with 40,000 regular-season points. Durant is the ninth-leading scorer, after passing Carmelo Anthony on Friday, and is 301 away from passing Shaquille O’Neal for eighth.

Heading into Sunday, James and Durant have combined for 68,194 points, the most entering a matchup in NBA history. That surpasses the total of 67,331 combined between Michael Jordan and Karl Malone on Feb. 14, 2003.

29.0: Durant has had his fair share of high scoring outputs against James.

In 25 regular-season games, Durant has averaged 29 points, the most by any player to face James multiple times. The Suns forward has outscored James 21 times across 39 regular-season and playoff meetings.

However, the highest-scoring game belongs to James — a 51-point performance in Game 1 of the 2018 NBA Finals.

Durant’s career points average of 27.3 is sixth all-time behind qualified players, just ahead of James at No. 7 with a 27.1 average.

1,201: The Lakers forward holds not only the NBA’s career scoring record, but also the mark for the most consecutive games with at least 10 points at 1,201. Durant has the fifth-longest such streak at 562 games from 2009 to 2017.

The last time James failed to score 10 points in a regular-season game was Jan. 5, 2007, against the Milwaukee Bucks. At the time, Durant was a freshman with the Texas Longhorns. James’ streak began on Jan. 6, 2007, the same day Durant scored 37 against the Colorado Buffaloes, his first 30-point game.

In their previous meeting last month, James had just 10 points, the fewest by either player in a game against one another, and Durant had 18. It marked the first time since Nov. 26, 2008, that both players had fewer than 20 points in one of their matchups.

Thoughtful Retirement Guidance for LeBron James from WNBA Great: ‘Remember the Importance of the Fans.’

James recently claimed to be unsure whether or not he would go on a retirement tour.

LeBron James may be 21 years into arguably the greatest NBA career any player has ever had, but all good things come to an end eventually. Whether it’s in one year or several, James will eventually play his final NBA game, and as he claimed at All-Star Weekend, he’s not exactly sure how he wants that to play out.

“I don’t know how many seasons I have left. I know it’s not that many. I was asked this question a couple days ago, ‘Will you take the farewell tour or just ‘Tim Duncan’ it?’ I’m 50-50,” James said. Duncan, famously, did not publicly reveal his retirement plans during the 2015-16 season. His San Antonio Spurs were eliminated from the playoffs by the Oklahoma City Thunder and he quietly retired afterward.

 

During that same season, Kobe Bryant went on one of the most extravagant retirement tours the NBA has ever seen. Teams gave him gifts as he arrived in arenas for the final time, and the whole affair culminated with a 60-point finale in his last game against the Utah Jazz.

Bryant wasn’t the first player to do a retirement tour. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a famous one of his own at the end of his legendary career, and New York Yankees legends Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera both had extravagant sendoffs. But Duncan and Bryant, both due to their stature and their differing preferences, have become the modern example of the retirement spectrum. James, publicly at least, has indicated that he currently falls somewhere between the two.

Fortunately, another basketball legend has some advice for him. WNBA icon Sue Bird followed Bryant’s path and had a tour of her own for her final season, and in an appearance on Sports Media with Richard Deitsch, she advised James to do the same.

“When I look back I still have fond, fond, fond memories,” Bird said of her tour. “I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m so glad I announced when I announced and I got to experience the farewell tour, and I was actually anti-that at one point a couple of years prior, so that was interesting for me to experience it in that way. My only regret is how the season ended because we lost.

“Otherwise, no, whoever this applies to, I could not recommend this more. I tell Diana, ‘I cannot recommend this enough,’ if I talked to LeBron right now, I’d be like ‘Bro, I could not recommend this enough.’ Because what I realized is a couple of things. One, it’s just as much about the fans and them being able to say goodbye to you. And I always thought of it like, ‘I don’t know if I want this attention.’ You have to almost see outside of yourself and understand that this is going to be meaningful for so many people. The second thing, I will say, it can be a lot. It can be a lot, but I just think the pros outweigh the cons. I’ll finish with, it is each individual’s choice, you have to be up for it, or game for it. I would just always argue that there might be things you personally gain or things you learn about yourself, your career, your relationship with the fans without this experience.”

Given his longevity, fans need that opportunity to say goodbye to James more than they have for any other star in league history. He’s been around for over two decades with no end in sight. He’s already played against 40% of all players in NBA history, and that number is going to creep closer to a 50-50 split the longer he stays in the league. There are quite a few adult fans that have never experienced an NBA without James in it.

Fortunately, while James himself hasn’t made a commitment in one direction or another, the general consensus seems to be that he is likelier to do one than not. Yes, he hinted at retirement consideration after losing the Western Conference Finals last season, but those comments were dismissed so heartily by the rest of the league that Nuggets coach Michael Malone even joked about them at after Denver won the title.

James has never been subtle. Whatever he does, he does it with flair. The thought that the player behind “The Decision” might retire without any fanfare seems very unlikely. If Bird’s comments help push him over the top, then all the better.

Grayson Allen Guides Suns to Victory with Balanced Performance, Securing a 123-113 Win over Lakers.

It’s no surprise that the Phoenix Suns were led by a Big Three on Sunday.

The twist is that those three players were Grayson Allen, Royce O’Neale and Jusuf Nurkic.

Allen scored 24 points, Kevin Durant added 22 and the Suns pulled away late in the fourth quarter to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 123-113.

 

Allen and O´Neale hit crucial 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to put the Suns up 116-104 with three minutes left. Nurkic added one of the best all-around games of his career with 18 points, 22 rebounds and seven assists.

“Those three guys were the stars of the game tonight,” Suns coach Frank Vogel said.

The Suns have built their roster around the so-called Big Three of Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal – a group that’s made a combined 21 All-Star teams. As expected, they’ve done a lot of the heavy lifting this season, but the emergence of role players such as Allen, O’Neale and Nurkic has made the Suns a much deeper team.

Allen said he’s learned to pick his scoring spots when playing with the Suns’ stars. Sunday was one of them.

“It’s a little bit of a feel, but a lot of it is that I understand our team goes where (Booker, Durant and Beal) go,” Allen said. “They’re going to lead us on both ends of the floor. So offensively, whatever shot-making I’m doing has to help the offense as a whole.”

Said Durant: “He’s been making the right plays all season.”

The Lakers trailed by 20 points late in the first quarter, but slowly cut the deficit to 92-90 by late in the third. Phoenix responded with the next six points and didn’t trail in the fourth, snapping a two-game skid.

LeBron James led the Lakers with 28 points on 12-of-19 shooting and also had 12 assists. Anthony Davis had 22 points and 14 rebounds.

Four Phoenix starters scored at least 20 points and the Suns had a 51-34 rebounding advantage. Booker scored 21 and O’Neale added 20 on 6-of-10 shooting on 3s. Bol Bol had 11 points in 24 minutes off the bench.

The Suns took a 38-18 lead late in the first quarter before settling for a 45-28 advantage going into the second. The 45 points were the most Phoenix has scored in a quarter this season. The Lakers cut into that advantage in the second but still trailed 72-63 at the break.

“Super slow start for us, offensively and defensively,” James said. “We give up 45 points in a quarter and it’s an uphill battle. From that point on, we played some really good basketball, but their role players did a good job shooting the ball.”

D’Angelo Russell led Los Angeles with 18 points in the first half while Booker had 13 for the Suns.

Beal missed his fourth straight game because of a tight left hamstring. He’s played just 30 of the team’s 58 games this season because of various injuries. Key backup Eric Gordon was also out with left groin soreness.

Phoenix and Los Angeles are in a similar position roughly two-thirds of the way through the regular season. Both teams have star-laden rosters, but are struggling to avoid the play-in tournament in the Western Conference.

The Suns entered the game as the West´s No. 8 seed while the Lakers were No. 9. The top six teams in each conference avoid the play-in tournament and advance to the first best-of-seven round.

LeBron James Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Kobe Bryant with ‘Black Mamba’ Tattoo.

The design makes a nod to Kobe Bryant’s “Black Mamba” nickname by including a snake into it, and it also includes the deceased athlete’s jersey numbers.

Fans are getting a better look at the tattoo that LeBron James got on his body as a memorial to Kobe Bryant, who passed away on Sunday after being involved in a helicopter accident that also claimed the lives of his daughter Gianna and seven other people.

On Friday, the Los Angeles Lakers star, who is 39 years old, posted a close-up photo of his new tattoo on Instagram. The post was accompanied by a throwback photo of him sitting courtside with Bryant, who is 41 years old.He captioned the photographs with the following: “My brother #Mamba4Life #RIPKobe #RIPGiGi.”As can be seen in the picture, James’ new tattoo depicts a snake, which is a nod to Bryant’s “Black Mamba” moniker, as well as the late athlete’s jersey numbers, which are 8 and 24. In addition to the black serpent, the design also features two roses and the phrases “Mamba 4 Life” written in ink underneath the serpent.

 

In an Instagram Story video that was published on Wednesday, James made the initial public announcement of his memorial tattoo. In the clip, he stated that he was in the process of having an artist named Vanessa Aurelia tattoo a pattern onto his left leg.

 

Anthony Davis, a player for the Los Angeles Lakers, uploaded a video of himself getting a tattoo just like it and put it online, but he has not specified what design he received.”@kingjames, I am so grateful that you gave me the opportunity to create this piece for you!” On Friday, Aurelia revealed her thoughts in an Instagram post. “From the bottom of my heart, I want you to know that it was an honor to work with you, and you’re the dopest!” Making my work a lot easier’!!??#mambamentality #mamba4life #lakers #RIP.”She continued by saying, “@kobebryant you are missed, loved, and cherished throughout many.”

When Bryant and his daughter Gianna, who was 13 years old at the time, were riding in a helicopter in Calabasas, California, they were on their way to a youth basketball game with other parents and players from the Mamba Sports Academy girls’ team when their chopper crashed on a hill due to hazy weather. Along with them, Sarah and Payton Chester, Christina Mauser, John Altobelli, his wife Keri Altobelli, and their daughter Alyssa Altobelli all perished in the crash. The pilot, Ara Zobayan, was also among those who lost their lives.On Monday night, after hearing the news about the terrible car accident, LeBron James shared the first of two tributes to Kobe Bryant on Instagram.

“I’m Not Ready, but here I go,” she said. “Man, I’m sitting here trying to write something for this post, but every time I try, I begin crying again just thinking about you, my niece Gigi, and the friendship/bond/brotherhood we had!” Bryant, who won five championships in 20 seasons with the Lakers, stated this. The Lakers won a total of 20 titles during Bryant’s stint with the team.He went on to say, “It’s my responsibility to put this s— on my back and keep it going!!” “Oh, God, please send down your power from the clouds above and keep a watchful eye on me! It’s all thanks to me! I have a lot more to say, but I just can’t do it right now because it’s too difficult for me to go through it all! Until the next time, my dear brother!!”The following day, the three-time NBA champion published a video to his YouTube channel showing him welcoming Kobe Bryant and his girlfriend Gianna during a recent game at the Staples Center.
