The latest loss mirrored the 107-97 defeat in Game 4 when the Celtics shot 30.8% in the final quarter, with Tatum missing four of five shots in both games and missing two free throws on Monday night.

Boston then needed seven games to beat Milwaukee in the second round, including a road win in Game 6, and seven against Miami in the Eastern Conference finals capped by a Game 7 road win. That has led to Tatum playing 943 minutes already this postseason, the most for a player since LeBron James played 960 in 2013 for Miami. That probably has something to do with the misses, Udoka said. Not only free throws but some of his 3-pointers being off a bit. Tatum isn't alone in struggling in the fourth quarter.

The trash-talking forward would continue his sparring match with Boston Celtics' counterpart Grant Williams, but the latter would have the last laugh as the Celtics outfought Golden State Warriors 116-110 in a niggly affair. After speaking a big game, Draymond would tank miserably. Posting two points, four rebounds, three assists, one block and two turnovers, he was ejected for persistent fouling in the fourth quarter. With two rounds remaining at Boston's home base, Green and his Warriors teammates will look to go again in a couple of nights' time. ,The Saginaw-born three-time NBA Champion and four-time NBA All-Star first made his name playing for Michigan State University, helping the Spartans to two Final Four appearances in his four years of college basketball. Drafted by Golden State in 2012, he was instrumental in their title runs in 2015, 2017 and 2018.

Continuing in this vein, he would become only the sixth player to record a triple-double in an NBA Finals clinching game, dominating the court against LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers!,Re-signing with the Warriors in 2015 on a bumper five-year, $82 million contract, Green would sparkle from the get-go. Posting back-to-back triple-doubles against the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings, he became the first Warriors player to do so since the legendary Wilt Chamberlain.

At that time, the NBA had more than 100 players sidelined by virus-related issues, along with some head coaches, assistant coaches, referees and team staffers.The NHL had just paused its season. The NBA commissioner wondered if his league would follow suit.“I was very concerned,” Silver said. “And we had numerous discussions with our governors about whether we were doing the right thing.”With a lot of help from dozens of newly signed players, some of whom might already be forgotten, the NBA played on.It could be argued the untold MVP's of this season were the more than 100 players signed to short-term hardship contracts to fill in when almost every team was decimated by the Omicron variant and other virus issues in December and January.Those fill-ins kept the season from veering off the rails. And they’re really why the NBA Finals matchup between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors is being played exactly as planned when the schedule was being put together last summer.“I think that everyone understood that if we did have to pause the season, it would have a huge potential economic impact on the league as well or force players and the league to have to move into the summer, which is not ideal,” Silver told The Associated Press. “So, without those players, we wouldn’t be here today.”Around the league, 605 players — a record — got into at least one game during the regular season, up 12% from last season. There were 633 players who were known to be under contract at some point, up 15% from last season’s figure.And when the variant was at its worst, the league was at its busiest: over a 10-day span of late December, 93 different 10-day contracts were signed.“Strangest season I’ve been a part of so far,” 19-year NBA veteran LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers said during the season. “I don’t want to just talk about the injuries but COVID protocols. You have guys go out for false positives. You have had guys go out for real reasons. ... We’ve had a little bit of everything.”To put how many players were needed in some perspective, consider that over a five-season span — 1982-83 through 1986-87 — the Celtics used a total of 27 players.This season, they used 28.And that doesn’t count four Celtics who were signed and never got into a game. The Celtics’ total of 32 players who were under contract — some very briefly — at some point this season was the highest in the NBA, one more than Portland and two more than Indiana, Milwaukee, and New Orleans.“Obviously to play basketball during unprecedented times the last two years has been tough for individuals, families, etc. ” Boston guard Jaylen Brown said. “But I think the NBA and the players association have done as good a job as possible to keep things going and to accommodate everything as best they possibly can. There’s been ups and downs. There’s been questions, things that haven’t made sense. But I still give credit where credit is due.”The NBA had to postpone a total of 11 games that were originally slated from mid-to-late December, and the rescheduling of those forced eight other games to be shifted in order to keep teams from playing in overly adverse circumstances like having three games in three nights.Otherwise, games were played like normal. Only it wasn’t normal.“A global pandemic was not something you'd expect would be part of a season, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. “But it was, and it is, and it got people to find some solutions and keep working.Former NBA All-Stars such as Joe Johnson — who made his only shot attempt in his one-game appearance with the Celtics — and Isaiah Thomas were called back to the league to help amid the depletions. The Warriors’ Quinndary Weatherspoon got to make his season debut on Christmas Day.“Surreal,” he said.Washington signed center Jaime Echenique and he played three unremarkable minutes; no points, no stats of any sort. But he made history, becoming the first Colombian to appear in an NBA game.“If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me up,” Echenique said.It’s the players like Echenique who kept the season going. The schedule that the league drafted nearly a year ago — long before Omicron, long before anyone knew what the season would bring and how the virus would go — had Monday listed as a travel day for the NBA Finals teams before Games 2 and 3.The Celtics and Warriors are traveling Monday — as scheduled.The NBA is about to make it through a season as planned, thanks to some former All-Stars and more than a few players who weren't household names.“I know Chris Paul, for example, made the point in one of our meetings of saying what an incredible debt of gratitude we owe to these players,” Silver told AP. “And he even was reminding his other NBA players, ‘Don’t forget to thank those players.’ We were relying on a terrific group of outside advisors made up of top doctors and scientists who were predicting that if we could tough it out for a few weeks, we’d be able to make it through.“But without the service, largely of those G league players, we wouldn’t have been able to do it.”___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"NBA,Echenique,Adam Silver,NHL,the Boston Celtics,Golden State Warriors,The Associated Press,LeBron James,the Los Angeles Lakers,COVID","originalPublishedOn":"2022-06-06T19:21:11.849401+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"YKGN7giQvda9","slug":"english/on-twitter-warriors-green-likes-playing-some-offense","title":"On Twitter, Warriors' Green likes playing some offense","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/NBA_Finals_Celtics_Warriors_Basketball_81232_YqTzK8siMl.jpg","coverCaption":"Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (23) reacts during the second half of Game 1 of basketball's NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics in San Francisco, Thursday, June 2, 2022.

While the Pistons are mired in a rebuilding project that has lasted longer than a decade, picking Cunningham was a choice that has panned out and provided at least one reason for hope.He overcame an ankle injury that stunted the start of his career to average 17.4 points to lead all rookies, ranked second in his class with 5.6 assists a game and fifth with 5.5 rebounds over 64 games.The 20-year-old Cunningham became the sixth NBA player to have at least 1,114 points, 356 assists and 354 rebounds through 64 games, joining a short list that includes LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Luka Doncic, Oscar Robertson and Alvan Adams.Cunningham's coach, Dwane Casey, vowed that the former Oklahoma State star would not be a bust before the season started. The savvy first-year player proved his coach was right — and surprised him, too.“I knew he was a basketball junkie, but I didn’t know he had the knowledge of what everybody was supposed to do on the court, Casey said.Cunningham had a simple explanation when asked about the compliment, saying it was a relatively easy accomplishment compared to playing football.“As a quarterback, you have to know what 10 guys are doing, he said. A GOOD SOURCEDallas Mavericks coach and former NBA point guard Jason Kidd marveled at the season Cunningham had in Detroit.“He’s done an incredible job in his first year,” Kidd said. “He’s probably the favorite to win Rookie of the Year. To be a point guard and do what he does on a nightly basis is impressive.”PIVOTAL PISTONJerami Grant scored 19.2 points per game, leading the team in scoring for a second straight season. The 28-year-old forward, though, was limited by injuries to just 47 games.Grant is eligible for a contract extension, entering the last season of his three-year, $60 million deal. If the Pistons don't give Grant a new deal, they may want to trade him.MAKING A MARKSaddiq Bey, in his second year, broke a single-season franchise record with 211 3-pointers. The 6-8 forward made 20 more shots beyond the arc than Allan Houston did during the 1995-96 season. Bey was also the only player on the team to play in all 82 games, 11 more than center Isaiah Stewart.TAKING A FLYERThe Pistons were pleased with Marvin Bagley III in the 18 games he played after acquiring him from Sacramento in a four-team trade two months ago. The former Duke star averaged 14.6 points with the Pistons, falling just short of his career high from his rookie year three years ago, along with 6.8 rebounds.Detroit can make Bagley a restricted free agent by giving him a qualifying offer, and Casey sounds as if he would like the 6-11 forward to stay.“He’s a talent, Casey said “He was drafted No. 2 (overall) for a reason and he showed all of that for us. His ability to score in the low post is uncanny.BABY STEPSThe Pistons won just 28% of their games, barely improving upon last year’s clip, but they were better over the last two months of the season. After starting 12-45, Detroit was 11-14 and that included a season-ending, three-game losing skid.___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"42.3314","longitude":"-83.0457","name":"Detroit,United States","city":"Detroit"},"keywords":"Cunningham,Detroit,Casey,NBA,DETROIT,Cade Cunningham,the Detroit Pistons,Houston,Orlando,LeBron James","originalPublishedOn":"2022-04-11T21:42:12.618173+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"A0uRq2BUHvAA","slug":"english/murrays-return-still-hazy-a-year-since-he-blew-out-a-knee","title":"Murray's return still hazy a year since he blew out a knee","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Grizzlies_Nuggets_Basketball_99399_gZtiFBxuX.jpg","coverCaption":"Injured Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray adjusts his shoe while practicing before the team's NBA basketball game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday, April 7, 2022, in Denver.

LeBron James teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form a Miami Heat super team that reached four straight finals, winning a pair of championships. Then came the ascension of Steph Curry’s fling-it-up-from anywhere Golden State Warriors, who claimed three titles of their own and shredded all conventional wisdom on how far from the basket constituted a good shot. There were also significant developments happening away from the court. With James, Curry and others setting the tone, NBA players increasingly led a clarion call for social justice in the 2010s. James and Wade posed in hoodies with their Miami teammates for a dramatic picture protesting the shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford staged a silent protest that helped lead the NBA to issue a lifetime ban against Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling over racist comments that were caught on tape. Players across the league donned “I Can’t Breathe” T-shirts -- the last words of Eric Garner before his death after being placed in a chokehold by a New York City police officer. The players of the WNBA also stepped up their activism, from wearing shirts that proclaimed “Black Lives Matter” to kneeling during the national anthem to show solidarity with Colin Kaepernick’s NFL campaign against police violence. They even campaigned against one of their owners in a U.S. Senate election. “I will not just shut up and dribble,” James said, in what could very well be the mantra of the decade. “I mean too much to so many kids that feel like they don’t have a way out and they need someone to help lead them out of the situation they’re in.”,A decade of social activism merged seamlessly into America's racial reckoning in the summer of 2020, which again found the NBA in the middle of things. That shouldn't have been a surprise, given the NBA has generally scored better than North America’s other men's sports leagues on racial and gender equity issues. As the decade ended and the world was struck by a new scourge -- the COVID-19 pandemic -- the players of the NBA and WNBA only grew louder. The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery led to massive protests not seen since the 1960s, a cause that both leagues embraced while completing their seasons in a bubble to cope with the deadly virus. Not even the closed-off world at Disney could stifle the NBA’s rank-and-file. When Jacob Blake, a Black man, was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, a Milwaukee Bucks-led protest prompted players to walk off the court in the middle of the playoffs -- a movement that sparked similar protests in other sports and received widespread support from the NBA’s largely white coaches and owners. The players have vowed to turn symbolic gestures of the past decade into real change in the years to come, tackling crucial issues such as voting rights in response to many states changing access to the election booth. NBA arenas were transformed into massive voting precincts during the 2020 election, allowing citizens to cast their ballots in person while maintaining social distancing guidelines amid a raging pandemic that has killed millions around the globe. If the players have their way, that's only the start. There's so many things on their to-do list for the next decade. “We need to back the words up with action,” Young said. “I hope the world feels the same way.”","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_wUOvSKrfq.jpg","role":2},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"NBA, activism, LeBron James, Black Lives matter, Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford","originalPublishedOn":"2022-04-06T08:45:00+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"pVNredV4qxww","slug":"english/built-to-win-championship-lakers-wont-even-make-playoffs","title":"Built to win championship, Lakers won't even make playoffs","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Lakers_Suns_Basketball_00462_QV_fhxcBi.jpg","coverCaption":"Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (0) talks to referee Derrick Collins (11) during the second half of the team's NBA basketball game against the Phoenix Suns, Tuesday, April 5, 2022, in Phoenix.

James missed the 128-110 loss to the Mavericks, which included deficits of 30 points in the first half and 37 in the second, with soreness and swelling in his sprained right ankle.Davis is on the brink of returning after being out since Feb. 16 with a right mid-foot sprain. He also missed a month with a knee injury, so the title-winning pair from two years ago in the playoff bubble has been limited to 21 games together this season.If No. 22 doesn't come soon, it might be too late. Technically, the Lakers (31-44) are out of the Western Conference play-in tournament at the moment. LA is tied for 10th, the final spot, with San Antonio, which holds the tiebreaker.Vogel said a decision on the possible return of Davis, along with James’ status, would be updated before the Lakers play at Utah on Thursday to end a three-game trip.The Lakers play again Friday at home against New Orleans. The Pelicans are ninth in the West, a game ahead of the Lakers and Spurs.“The standings are the results,” coach Frank Vogel said. “We have to keep our focus on the process and the work. Those things are going to lead to the next win. That’s the only place our focus will be.”James, the NBA scoring leader, and Davis were listed as doubtful for the Dallas game, which was actually an upgrade for Davis. The eight-time All-Star went through a full practice for the first time since his injury Monday in Dallas.“Obviously, this whole thing is built around them,” said Stanley Johnson, who tied his season high with 16 points against the Mavericks. “It's a lot easier to play basketball for me, for everybody else when they're playing.

Carmelo Anthony is picked No. 3 followed by Chris Bosh at No. 4 and Dwyane Wade at No. 5. The Detroit Pistons infamously takes Darko Milicic as the No. 2 overall pick. James is the most heralded high school player of a generation . He is considered a can’t-miss prospect with the skills of a guard, the body of a forward and the potential of a superstar. Milicic is the first of a record 21 international picks. The Associated Press is republishing verbatim the story of the 2003 NBA draft on June 26, 2003. ___By CHRIS SHERIDANAP Basketball WriterNEW YORK — LeBron James strode onstage wearing an all-white suit, appropriate garb for a player expected to be the savior of the Cleveland Cavaliers.James, the 18-year-old prep phenom from Akron, Ohio, was the No. 1 choice in the NBA draft Thursday night. He hugged his agent, Aaron Goodwin, then turned and did the same to his mother, Gloria, before pulling on a Cavaliers cap and shaking the hand of commissioner David Stern.“I just think I look pretty good in all white,” said James, whose suit was custom-made by a Charlotte fashion designer. “My guy made it for me and said he’d make the best suit in the draft.”The most heralded high school player of a generation, James is considered a can’t-miss prospect with the skills of a guard, the body of a forward and the potential of a superstar.James turned to the audience and beamed a wide smile, although the raucous crowd at Madison Square Garden didn’t exactly embrace him. Many fans were already busy chanting “Fire Lay-den” — a reference to general manager Scott Layden of the hometown Knicks.“I’m one of the highest publicized players in the country right now, and I haven’t even played one game of basketball in the NBA. I know I’m a marked man,” James said.Serbian 7-footer Darko Milicic was chosen second by the Detroit Pistons, the first of a record 21 international picks.Carmelo Anthony, who led Syracuse to the national championship, was chosen third by the Denver Nuggets — capping the drama-less first 15 minutes.The Toronto Raptors, after listening to trade offers throughout the day, used the No. 4 pick on 6-foot-11 freshman forward Chris Bosh of Georgia Tech.“Being picked so high is a definite honor. You always hope,” Bosh said. “I’m happy it’s over.”Miami then went for Marquette junior guard Dwyane Wade.The night’s first of seven trades came about 90 minutes after James was chosen, with Memphis sending the rights to the 13th pick, Marcus Banks of UNLV, and the 27th pick (Kendrick Perkins of Beaumont, Tex.) to the Boston Celtics for the rights to picks 16 (Troy Bell of Boston College) and 20 (Dahntay Jones of Duke).“We got two players from an athletic standpoint who were at the top of the list of all the players in the draft,” Grizzlies president Jerry West said. We are very excited about what we did.San Antonio later traded the 28th pick, Brazilian point guard Leandro Barbosa, to Phoenix for a future first-round pick. There were five deals involving second round picks.Central Michigan center Chris Kaman, a 7-footer who averaged 22.4 points last season as a junior, went sixth to the Los Angeles Clippers.Two teams with point guard problems snatched the two top-rated playmakers next.Kirk Hinrich of Kansas was the first college senior to be selected, going seventh to Chicago. The Bulls will likely be without Jay Williams, the second overall pick of last year’s draft, for at least a year after he broke his leg in a motorcycle accident last weekend.T.J. Ford of Texas, winner of the Naismith and Wooden awards, went at No. 8 to the Milwaukee Bucks — a possible sign that the franchise expects point guard Gary Payton to leave as a free agent over the summer.“Sam Cassell is a great player I followed throughout my life. If they re-sign Gary Payton, then I’ll be learning from two of the best in the NBA,” Ford said.The “Fire Lay-den” chants began anew before the Knicks selected Georgetown power forward Michael Sweetney — a choice that brought a mixed reaction from a partisan crowd that was on its feet as Stern announced the selection.“They called my name and they cheered for me, and that made me feel real happy,” said Sweetney, who will be the fifth power forward on New York’s roster.The crowd went nuts when the Knicks used the first pick of the second round on Polish center Maciej Lampe, who was considered a possible lottery pick in the days leading up to the draft.Jarvis Hayes of Georgia went 10th to the Washington Wizards, who moved out of their Michael Jordan era by naming Eddie Jordan head coach last week and signing Jerry Stackhouse to a two-year contract extension earlier Thursday.Mickael Pietrus, a 6-6 swingman from France, was the second of a record nine international players taken in the first round, going 11th to the Golden State Warriors.Nick Collison of Kansas, the second-leading scorer in school history behind Danny Manning, went 12th to the Seattle SuperSonics — the only team with two of the top 14 picks.After Memphis selected Banks, Seattle used its second pick on Oregon point guard Luke Ridnour, and Orlando tabbed Louisville’s Reece Gaines at No. 15 — the fifth point guard selection of the round.College player of the year David West of Xavier went to the New Orleans Hornets at No. 18, possible insurance in case free agent P.J. Brown signs elsewhere this summer.Serbian teammates Zarko Cabarkapa (17th, Phoenix) and Aleksandar Pavlovic (19th, Utah) from Buducnost broke the top 20, while a third player from that club — 7-foot-4 center Slavko Vranes waited for his name to be called. The Knicks eventually took him 39th.Boris Diaw of France went at No. 21 to Atlanta, and Croatia’s Zoran Planinic went next to New Jersey. At No. 25, the Detroit Pistons took Argentina’s Carlos Delfino, who played last season for Kinder Bologna of Italy.High school seniors went 26th (Ndudi Ebi of Houston to the Minnesota Timberwolves) and 27th (Perkins).Notable second-round selections included Arizona’s Luke Walton, the son of Bill Walton, going 32nd to the Lakers, Greek teenager Sofoklis Schortsinitis going 34th to the Clippers and Washington taking Maryland guard Steve Blake 38th. China’s Xue Yuyang went to Dallas on behalf of Denver with the next-to-last pick.Milwaukee dealt the 43rd pick, Kentucky’s Keith Bogans, to Orlando for cash. Toronto acquired Florida’s Matt Bonner, the No. 45 pick, from Chicago for a future second-round draft pick.New Jersey traded the right to Creighton’s Kyle Korver, the 51st pick, to Philadelphia for cash. The Sixers also sent cash and the rights to No. 50 pick Paccelis Morlende to Seattle for No. 41 pick Willie Green of Detroit Mercy.___AP Corporate Archives contributed to this report.___More on the NBA At 75: https://apnews.com/hub/nba-at-75 ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"40.7143","longitude":"-74.006","name":"New York,United States","city":"New York City"},"keywords":"LeBron James,NBA,James,Knicks,Carmelo Anthony,Chris Bosh,Dwyane Wade,Darko Milicic,the Detroit Pistons,Memphis","originalPublishedOn":"2022-03-22T15:48:19.213990+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"EAcQAKOHkvk0","slug":"english/timeline-of-nba-in-2000s-as-league-celebrates-75th-season","title":"Timeline of NBA in 2000s as league celebrates 75th season","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/NBA_At_75_2000s_Timeline_32564_COyz1tCSh.jpg","coverCaption":"FILE - The Miami Heat reach for the Larry O'Brien Trophy after winning the NBA Championship by beating the Dallas Mavericks in Game 6 of the NBA basketball finals in Dallas, in this June 20, 2006 file photo.

The search for a superstar to succeed Jordan certainly was a central theme of that decade for the league, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this season. So, too, were changes in how teams sought to add to their talent, whether by bringing aboard youngsters, looking abroad or piecing together a cohort of elite players. Also of note was the fallout from The Malice at the Palace in-game brawl, an event viewed by some at the time as reflective of a disconnect between players and spectators that then-Commissioner David Stern sought to remedy. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban saw the league's shifts of the 2000s driven by changes in technology and the business of the NBA, he wrote in an email to The Associated Press. It was the advent of the internet. Satellite TV was still nascent and (regional sports networks) were really just happening. We were able to show our games globally, Cuban wrote. When LeBron came into the league, he became must-watch TV. The combination of his brilliance and the expanded availability of our games really had a huge impact and helped the NBA grow globally. Consider the prism through which Cuban interprets much of this: He paid about $280 million to buy the Mavericks in 2000; the club is worth more than $2.5 billion now, according to Forbes. That parallels the massive jump in NBA revenues under the stewardship of Stern and current Commissioner Adam Silver. Before the 1998-99 lockout, total leaguewide revenue was under $2 billion; by the end of the 2000s, that number was about $4 billion — and it topped $8 billion by late in the 2010s.

The search for a superstar to succeed Jordan certainly was a central theme of that decade for the league, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary this season. So, too, were changes in how teams sought to add to their talent, whether by bringing aboard youngsters, looking abroad or piecing together a cohort of elite players.Also of note was the fallout from “The Malice at the Palace” in-game brawl, an event viewed by some at the time as reflective of a disconnect between players and spectators that then-Commissioner David Stern sought to remedy.Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban saw the league’s shifts of the 2000s “driven by changes in technology and the business of the NBA,” he wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “It was the advent of the internet. Satellite TV was still nascent and (regional sports networks) were really just happening. We were able to show our games globally,” Cuban wrote. “When LeBron came into the league, he became must-watch TV. The combination of his brilliance and the expanded availability of our games really had a huge impact and helped the NBA grow globally.”Consider the prism through which Cuban interprets much of this: He paid about $280 million to buy the Mavericks in 2000; the club is worth more than $2.5 billion now, according to Forbes. That parallels the massive jump in NBA revenues under the stewardship of Stern and current Commissioner Adam Silver. Before the 1998-99 lockout, total leaguewide revenue was under $2 billion; by the end of the 2000s, that number was about $4 billion — and it topped $8 billion by late in the 2010s.Much of that had to do with television contracts and the start of NBA TV, which made its debut in late 1999. The league managed to link itself to social media, a phenomenon launching during that decade: Facebook made its debut in 2004, YouTube in 2005, Twitter in 2006. Instagram came along in 2010, and the NBA boasted that it topped 65 million followers in March 2022. The early 2000s, Cuban said, “was also a time when almost every NBA team was losing money. A lot of money. And team values were declining,” so efforts were made “to allow us to leverage the new platforms, create new revenue streams and try to make the game more engaging for fans. I give David Stern and Adam a lot of credit. They were open to moving games from broadcast TV to cable. They didn’t cut back on the number of games available on TV, as requested by a partner; they increased them. They pushed our games to every country in the world. That created the foundation for our business to grow.”The list of key events for the NBA during the 2000s includes: Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal bridging the gap from Jordan to James with their Los Angeles Lakers' three-peat from 2000-02; Bryant scoring 81 points in a game, the second-highest total in league history; Phil Jackson passing Red Auberbach with his record 10th championship as a coach; Tim Duncan and coach Gregg Popovich leading the San Antonio Spurs to titles in 2003, 2005 and 2007; former NBA referee Tim Donaghy getting sentenced to prison for wire fraud and transmitting betting information; Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, a German, becoming the first European-born player to win the MVP award. Nothing grabbed as much attention, or was perceived to be as much of a threat to the success of the NBA, as the fight that spilled into the stands during a game on Nov. 19, 2004, between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons. There were suspensions and legal cases involving Ron Artest, Stephen Jackson, Jermaine O’Neal, Ben Wallace and more — and the whole episode altered the way those getting paid to play and those paying to watch saw each other. “It allowed people to take shots at a culture, take shots at a league,” O’Neal said during an appearance on Jackson’s “All the Smoke” podcast last year, “and still not be able to have a conversation — a real, educated conversation — about what actually really happened. ... The ‘thug’ word was thrown out there probably 1,000 times. A thousands times. All of a sudden, it’s about the hip hop music we listen to. It’s about our cornrows. It’s about our tattoos.” And, O’Neal pointed out, none of that sort of reaction or disdain accompanies the in-game fights that take place — and, indeed, are often glorified — during NHL or Major League Baseball games.The NBA responded by changing security measures and, less than a year later, instituting a dress code in what some saw as an attempt to present a new image to corporate partners and to control players.At the time, Philadelphia 76ers star guard Allen Iverson said: “I don’t think that’s going to help the image of the league at all. ... It kind of makes it fake. The whole thing is fake.”The new rules required players to don business-casual attire and barred them from wearing visible chains when going to, or leaving, games.Cuban’s take today?“I wish we hadn’t done it. It took away some of the personality that makes the NBA special. But I understood why we did it,” he said. “Our business was suffering, for a lot of different reasons. Mostly, we were not great at marketing at the time. We were throwing out anything trying to turn the tide.” One serious concern for the league — and its broadcast partners — in the early 2000s was how things would go without Jordan, as significant and popular an athlete there ever was, in any sport. He left the Chicago Bulls after a sixth championship in 1998, then came out of retirement for a second time in 2001 at age 38 and joined the Washington Wizards for two more seasons, both as a player and in the team’s front office. With a basketball in his hands, he was an older version of himself, hardly the Jordan of old, and soon enough the search for a new “face of the league” was on. Bryant seemed ready to assume that label as the decade began — he averaged 28.5 points for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2000-01 — and eventually did become a basketball icon despite a rape allegation by a 19-year-old employee of a Colorado hotel in 2003. That was the same year that Jordan ended his playing career for good and, in a symbolic and significant handover, James entered the NBA as the top selection in a draft that also included Dwyane Wade and Carmelo Anthony. Over time, as a standout in the 2000s, 2010s and beyond, James would become the subject of intense “Greatest of All-Time” debates that boiled down to: LBJ or MJ?“To deal with the pressures of being the savior of Cleveland, being the next guy to ‘be like Mike,’ and the way he has done it — with class, the way you would love anybody to represent the league,” two-time NBA All-Star forward Antawn Jamison, who played against Jordan and James, and also was a Cavs teammate of James, said about the younger player in an essay he contributed to the AP.Evidence of the NBA’s expansion of its player pool in the 2000s: James was not the first high schooler picked No. 1 overall. Kwame Brown got that honor in 2001, drafted by Jordan's Wizards. In 2002, the Houston Rockets made China’s Yao Ming the first non-American who didn’t play college basketball in the U.S. to get taken No. 1, symbolic of the league’s desire to become more of a worldwide entity.Another harbinger of what was to come: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen led the Boston Celtics to a championship in 2008, a precursor to the “Super Team” phenomenon that James, his eventual teammate Wade and others perpetuated in the following decade.“The Road to History,” James wrote on Twitter at the time, “starts now!”___More on the NBA At 75: https://apnews.com/hub/nba-at-75 ___More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports","portalUser":{"id":"8dFR8PhLJl4s","name":"AP","username":"associatedpress","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/AP-200x200_TbSS3S6KN.jpeg","role":8},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"NBA,MJ-LBJ,James,Jordan,David Stern,Mavericks,Michael Jordan,LeBron James,Dallas,Mark Cuban","originalPublishedOn":"2022-03-22T06:33:14.951224+00:00"}},{"node":{"id":"yFCIpySIM0fF","slug":"english/analysis-nba-scoring-race-could-end-up-as-one-for-the-ages","title":"Analysis: NBA scoring race could end up as one for the ages","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/Lakers_Wizards_Basketball_13868_nL1oP0VWa.jpg","coverCaption":"Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James (6) shoots as Washington Wizards' Rui Hachimura (8) defends during the second half of an NBA basketball game, Saturday, March 19, 2022, in Washington.

Washington outscored the Lakers 34-20 in the fourth quarter.James now trails only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the career scoring lead. He entered the game 19 points behind Malone’s total of 36,928. After a six-point first quarter, James went on a scoring binge in the second that included a dunk and three 3-pointers.The last of those 3s brought him even with Malone. Then he made a layup off a backdoor cut with 5:20 left in the quarter to move ahead.Moments later, as Washington’s Tomas Satoransky prepared to shoot free throws, James’ accomplishment was put up on the video screen, and the crowd in Washington gave him a standing ovation.
