NBA》Bronny：「我現在還不是場均15、20分的人，必須靠防守爭取上場」
布朗尼日前受訪時說道：「我不能失去能讓我上場的防守慾望，因為有些人能每場拿15、20分，而我現在很可能還不是那種人，為了讓自己能夠上場，我必須成為一個防守大鎖。」
Bronny James knows the role that will earn him minutes: 'I can't lose that defensive drive that will get me on the floor, because there are going to be guys who can score 15, 20 a game. I'm most likely not going to be that guy right now. To get myself on the floor, I've got to be… pic.twitter.com/dbT2zAWTW9

Knicks star point guard shares thoughts on Jordan Clarkson signing
The New York Knicks made a big addition to their second unit by signing former Sixth Man of The Year Jordan Clarkson to a one-year, $3.6 million deal earlier this offseason. Clarkson has been one of the league's best bench players over the last half-decade, leading the NBA in bench points since 2020. He spent the last six seasons with the Utah Jazz, where he averaged 17.5 points per game off the bench, and won the Sixth Man of The Year award in 2021. The Knicks are presumably pleased with bringing in Clarkson for next season, as is the team's superstar point guard Jalen Brunson, who on his podcast 'The Roommates Show,' told his reaction to the team bringing in Clarkson. 'I know him,' Brunson said. 'Talked to him for a little bit. Good dude. Surrounds himself with good people that I know. A great addition for us, for sure.' The Knicks were last in total bench points, and bench points per game by a wide margin last season, bringing in the league's top bench scorer will surely help resolve at least some of those issues. Additionally, signing Clarkson gives the Knicks another ball handling scorer to take some of the pressure off of Jalen Brunson, and allows the Knicks showcase their depth on a level that they haven't been able to in quite some time. Last season, Clarkson averaged 16.2 points per game while shooting 36 percent from three-point range in 37 games (28 off the bench).

Magic Johnson believed Michael Jordan struggled to be the face of the NBA after he and Larry Bird retired: "Michael wasn't enjoying himself anymore"
Magic Johnson believed Michael Jordan struggled to be the face of the NBA after he and Larry Bird retired: "Michael wasn't enjoying himself anymore" originally appeared on Basketball Network. For most of the 1980s, the NBA was a two-man empire. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird changed and defined the league. Their rivalry, one of the most iconic in sports history, transformed into mutual respect, and their overlapping dominance kept the league relevant and rising. But everything shifted in the early 1990s. Magic abruptly retired in 1991 after revealing his HIV diagnosis. Bird, plagued by chronic back injuries, played through pain before quietly walking away in 1992. And suddenly, the burden of carrying the league fell on Michael Jefferey Jordan. New face of the league It wasn't immediate, but the impact was real. Jordan had already established himself as a singular force with consecutive scoring titles, MVP awards, and an obsessive hunger that burned brighter than anyone else's. However, transitioning from being one of the stars to the star of the NBA was entirely a different responsibility. He became the face of an entire sport and a walking headline. It took a toll initially. "At that time, Michael wasn't enjoying himself anymore," Johnson said in 1996. "See what happened, Larry [Bird, who was in his last season] and I left and we left him. He's the one sitting there. Now it's just him." There had always been a sense of camaraderie among the league's elite. Johnson and Bird had each other, plus seasoned stars like Isiah Thomas and Charles Barkley to share the weight. But when the torch was passed, Jordan found himself alone in the spotlight. With the old guard gone and no equal in sight, every win, shot, and mistake fell squarely on his shoulders. The joy that once energized his game began to fade into the background, buried because of the pressure and relentless scrutiny. Even before Bird's retirement, Jordan had begun to shift from hungry young star to cultural icon. After clinching his first title in 1991, he ascended into a new realm of fame, where sneakers outsold jerseys and fans mimicked his fadeaway on playgrounds worldwide. But that kind of spotlight scorches. As Johnson recalls, Jordan had to conform to be the new face of the league. He had to maintain the aura of invincibility by winning, and his leadership style became what many described as harsh and demanding. The smile that once lit up press conferences began to vanish. His teammates noticed it, coaches felt it, and the entire league saw it. And the more titles he won, the lonelier the mountaintop became. Jordan's burden of superstardom In the late '80s, Jordan was the media darling. Everyone loved him, even when the championships didn't come. But as the '90s came around and Bird and Johnson began to fade from the spotlight, Jordan was thrown into the fire. "Then, wham, wham Every move, 'Oh, Michael's in Atlantic City," Johnson said. "Everything got magnified, whatever he did, I'm talking about wherever he went. It was bigger than life. So now what happened, Michael set in. He was introverted because of all the attention. The league turned to Michael." In 1993, just months before shocking the sports world with his first retirement, Jordan found himself in Atlantic City during the Eastern Conference finals. A late-night gambling trip turned into a national scandal. It didn't matter that he showed up to Game 2 on time or that he dropped 36 points. The narrative had already been written. That season, his father was frequently seen courtside. Just weeks after Jordan's third championship, the elder Jordan was murdered in North Carolina, and the grief hit deeper than the public could understand. Jordan stepped away from basketball entirely. He suited up for the Birmingham Barons in minor league baseball, a detour some saw as bizarre, but those closest to him recognized it as survival. The microscope was never kind, but in Jordan's case, it was blinding. His life had become public property. Every personal or professional decision was consumed, dissected, and debated. And unlike Johnson and Bird, who had each other to absorb the media storm, Jordan had to weather it alone. Yet from the ashes of that pressure, Jordan reinvented himself. He returned to the league in 1995, won three more titles, and cemented his status as the greatest to ever play. But those early '90s years served as a reminder that greatness comes at a story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 25, 2025, where it first appeared.

Warriors' Steph Curry Reveals Surprising Bronny James Revelation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James had one of the most-talked about NBA rookie seasons in recent memory. A second-round pick of the Lakers last summer — a decision that was highly criticized because of nepotism accusations that many fans believe landed him in L.A. in the first place thanks to his father, LeBron James — Bronny split his time between the NBA and the South Bay Lakers of the G League. And while Bronny will likely always be in the shadow of his famous father, that doesn't mean he doesn't still have potential to develop into a solid or above-average NBA player. In fact, there's some who believe that Bronny has all the makings of a potential future star, including Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry. In a recent interview with Complex, Curry recalled a time during his rookie season back in 2009 when he spent some time at LeBron's house when he was still with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he walked away overly impressed by what he saw from a much younger Bronny.

MoreMore Basketball: A'ja Wilson Makes WNBA History vs Indiana Fever "I remember how athletic Bronny looked, and how fast he ran, I was like, 'He going somewhere,'" Curry said of a then-4-year-old Bronny. "And now to see him in the league is crazy." Bronny finished his rookie year averaging 2.3 points, 0.8 assists, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.3 steals per game over 27 NBA contests. He played just 6.7 minutes per night. However, he fared much better in his G League stint. James averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game last season with South Bay while shooting 51% from the field, 45% from 3-point range, and 88% from the free-throw line, per the official G League X account. Heading into Year 2, Bronny is expected to see an increased role in L.A. He showed significant signs of improvement in his second Summer League stint. He was among the NBA's list of top five sophomore standouts after averaging 16.3 points, 4.3 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per outing over his three games.
