“Top NBA Stars Facing Last Chance to Shine in 2024-25 Season: Morant, Durant, and DeRozan’s Crucial Comebacks”[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr1nK5EdRYg[/embed]

The 2024-25 NBA season will officially begin in less than two weeks.

Before the start of every season, this is the most promising time in the league winning the championship They have plenty of opportunities, and they have a lot to prove – the hardest of which is that the 2024-25 season may be the last chance they have

The following are the stars that I think are eager to prove themselves in the new season, and they need to catch up this season:

1. Ja Morant ｜Memphis Grizzlies

Age: 25 years old, 6 career seasons

Last season’s results: 9 games played, 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 8.1 assists, 0.8 steals, overall shooting rate of 47.1%, three-point shooting rate of 27.5%

Prove the goal: Lead the Grizzlies back to the top of the Western Conference

Relying on his blood-racing physicality and critical dunks, Ja Morant once jumped up and single-handedly pulled the Grizzlies from a fringe team to fan attention not only as a a new face in the league, but also to be a new face of the league This is the new hope for the American representative stars of the NBA;However, due to his erratic behavior off court, he destroyed the Great Wallin addition to being suspended by the league twice and spending last season in vain, it seemed that even American star status was replaced by Anthony Edwards last season.. .

Remember how good Ja Morant was? In the 2022-23 season, he averaged 26.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 8.1 assists per game however, he only played 9 games and was paid back for the season as a result of a torn labrum in his right shoulder also ended the Grizzlies’ loss of heart and a camp full of wounded soldiers to the base of adventure in the West End.

Ja, who is starting again in the new season, plays the role of the Dark Knight, vowing to lead Memphis to break through the loss, return to the great powers of the Conference West, and attract the attention of many fans – but there is only one chance, can he personally write the classic comeback?

2. Kevin Durant｜Phoenix Suns

Age: 36 years old, 18 career seasons

Last season’s results: 75 games played, 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.2 blocks, overall shooting rate of 52.3%, three-point shooting rate of 41.3%

Determine the goal: Be the “driver” and lead the team to win the tournament

As one of the 75 greatest stars in NBA history, a two-time NBA champion, and a two-time NBA Championship MVP, his Hall of Fame ticket is already in his hands Kevin Durant seems to have nothing more to be asked, but when he died with teammate Draymond Green in 2019 choking “We were champions before you came here.”On the bus that won the competition“, and questions his leadership ability, which deepens the idea that KD is only a main driver to fight for the championship, rather than a “bus driver” who personally leads the team.

After the Golden State Warriors failed to challenge for three consecutive championships in 2019, Durant formed the Big Three with the Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns and various stars many times, but the best results only reached the second round of the playoffs (damn big No. 1 shoe), entering the 18th year of his career, he must continue to lead the team to win the championship in a “driver” role.

3. DeMar DeRozan ｜Sacramento Kings

Age: 35 years old, 16 career seasons

Last season’s results: 79 games played, 24.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, overall shooting rate of 48.0%, three-point shooting rate of 33.3%

Definitive Goal: Prove yourself in the playoffs

DeMar DeRozan is finally out of Chicago! The Bulls’ stagnant team in recent years has greatly delayed his youth – although it has allowed DeRozan to reach another career peak, and even be on the “Major Player of the Year” list for two years after his each other, but as a season player during the Raptors’ time, a frequent player in the postseason, he only played in 12 playoff games after 2018 (a year each for the Spurs and Bulls), and failed to pass on the second round.

Joining the Sacramento Kings in the new season, DeRozan is expected to be paired with better teammates De’Araon Fox and Domantas Sabonis to lead the Kings to overcome their long playoff drought. ten years exactly one year ago, and Fox was also the annual With a key player award, the Kings are expected to regain their offensive firepower in the new season and enter the playoffs. mind and skills.
