11:38pm, 1 September 2025【Basketball】

On September 1, as the players pursue honors and interests more and more, their frequency of changing teams is getting higher and higher. In the past, players paid attention to one person and one city, but now players put their interests first, so it is rare to want one person and one city. Unless they are stars in the big ball market have such treatment. Today, the US media counted the 10 players with the longest active service, let’s see if it’s reasonable?

10th Adebayo

Adebayo is a player won by the Heat with the No. 14 pick in the first round in 2017. As of now, as long as Adebayo is healthy enough, the Heat will not trade him. Adebayo is the new generation of Heat team soul selected by Lelitin. He is an All-Star inside player, has good defensive ability, and is also very comprehensive in the offensive end and can send good passes. Miami is also a big ball market. It is estimated that Adebayo also hopes to stay here for a long time.

Ninth Tatum

Tatum is also a 2017 draft, like these two. Since he was selected by the Celtics, the team has treated him as a future training, and Tatum has not disappointed the team's expectations. He has never led the team to miss the playoffs since entering the league, and has won the championship in 24 years. However, Tatum suffered a serious injury last season and hopes that he can recover and return, but the Achilles tendon is ruptured, so it is still difficult to recover.

8th Jamalmury

Murray, as a non-All-star player, was able to win a contract of 200 million. Thanks to Jokic. Teacher Yo has provided him with a high-quality pick-and-roll to provide him with a good space for action. If it were put on other teams, Murray would probably not perform so well. Considering that he is very suitable for Jokic, and he has also joined hands with Jokic to win the championship. In addition, it is difficult for the Nuggets to introduce big names in the small-scale market, so Murray has also played for the Nuggets for 9 years, and the team does not want to send him away.

7th Jaylen Brown

Brown was a draft in 2016. He entered the league one year earlier than Tatum. Before Angie was in charge of the Celtics, Brown was put on the shelves many times, but he was not sent away. In this case, Brown was completely disappointed with the team. He asked for a super top salary renewal. In the end, he also helped the team win the championship and won the FMVP trophy. Brown probably still finds it difficult to stay in the Celtics for a long time, because the team may need to be rebuilt in the future and has played for 9 seasons.

Sixth Booker

Booker is a 15-year draft. He has played with the Suns since he entered the league. The team regards him as the first core. Even though he changed his boss during the period, the team still regards Booker as the first core. In the offseason, he gave him a two-year, 140 million contract extension contract. The two sides will continue to cooperate for many years. Booker has played with the Suns for 10 seasons. Although both sides have not achieved success during the cooperation period, they are both very satisfied with both sides, so Booker may live for the Suns.

Fifth Embiid

Embied was a 2014 draft. He has shown good talent since entering the league. Therefore, the 76ers have also established his core position in the process. For this reason, the team gave up the outstanding inside talents such as Okafor and Noel, and also gave up the two No. 1 picks, Simmons and Fultz. The team has been building a team around Embiid in the past few years and finally won the MVP in 23 years. As a result, the performance of the past two seasons was very bad due to injuries and has played for the 76ers for 11 years.

Fourth Jokic

Jokic, as a second round pick, can reach its current height. It is estimated that 99.9% of players did not expect that Jokic was not optimistic about being able to continue in the NBA because he was not self-disciplined enough, but he still had good ball business and skills. With his outstanding performance, he gradually replaced Nurkic as the team's starter and later became the first person in the league. This script is indeed too inspiring. He is probably going to work with the Nuggets and has been playing for 11 years.

The third Antetokounmpo

Antetokounmpo's draft was in the 2013 draft. At the beginning, he was not considered able to play in the league for a long time. After all, the letters were too thin in the draft, but after his own efforts, he became a devilish thorn man. Now, the talent of letters is top-notch in the league. The letters have also relied on their outstanding performance to become the top three players in the league. The letters had considered leaving the team this offseason, but the Bucks signed his brother, so the letters didn't want to leave, and they played for 12 years.

Second Dream

Zhi Meng is a 12-year draft. Yes, Zhu Meng is just one of the league before the letters. The reason why he looks old is more because he is an older draft. Zhu Meng relies on his own efforts and hard work. As a second-round pick, he has also become one of the core of the Warriors. He has had the experience of almost leaving the team, but at the suggestion of James, he chose to stay in the team. Zhu Meng has played for 13 seasons with the Warriors. Now Green says that sports are doing well, and retirement can be seamlessly connected.

No. 1 Curry

As the draft in 2009, everyone may not know that when Paul left the Pelicans, the Warriors planned to use Curry to quote, but they did not do it. Curry relied on his outstanding performance to help the Warriors become the largest football market in the league. Therefore, Curry also received a super maximum salary, so he has been the highest-paid player in the league for the past 9 years. He is worth it. He has played for the Warriors for 16 years and he will retire here.
