Incredible Seasons End with a Twist
After an exhilarating 82-game regular season, the NBA season reached its climax with unexpected news for two of its biggest stars: LeBron James and Stephen Curry. While both players had exceptional seasons, neither could have predicted the unusual news that awaited them before the playoffs began.
“The King” LeBron James’ Historic season
LeBron James, now 40 years old, ended the 2024-25 NBA season with an average of 24.4 points per game, the lowest since his rookie season. However, age was just a number for “The King” as he continued to captivate audiences with his remarkable dunks. One of his most astonishing alley-oops against the Dallas Mavericks, over 7-foot-3 center Kristaps Porziņģis, amassed an impressive 61 million views.
Stephen Curry’s Record-Breaking Season
Meanwhile, Stephen Curry was having a season to remember, breaking the NBA record for most three-pointers made in a single season with 311. His most-viewed play was an incredible showdown against Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns, which racked up over 136 million views, becoming the second-most viewed play of the season.
The Unexpected News
Despite their remarkable achievements, both legends received an unusual piece of news on the eve of the playoffs. A play by Memphis Grizzlies’ Ja Morant, involving a 360-degree spin in mid-air before dunking, had been viewed over 286 million times, making it the most-watched play of the entire campaign. The news left James and Curry somewhat surprised, but also intrigued by the next generation of stellar players.
Luka Doncic’s Impact on Merchandise Sales
Curry’s incredible season placed him second in official NBA merchandise sales for the season, while LeBron James secured the third spot. However, if not for the historic trade of Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, the results might have been different.
