[End of Season]
The "2025.10 - Halloween Carnival" season is coming to an end. For Ranked, Dynasty, and 5v5 Full Court Run, rewards will be distributed based on the highest rank achieved by each Hooper in the season. The top 100 Hoopers in the Rank Leaderboard, Dynasty Leaderboard, 5v5 Leaderboard, Peak Points Leaderboard, as well as the Style Points Leaderboard, will also receive limited-time titles.
At the same time, the new "2025.12 - New Year Games" season is about to begin.

[Players]
1. Superstar James '16 (SF) is coming! James '16 can be unlocked through the Current Superstar Supply Crate (after the December 24 update).
- LeBron James' unrivaled dominance and unparalleled versatility have solidified his legendary status in basketball history. He spearheaded the Cleveland Cavaliers' historic Finals comeback, delivering the franchise's first championship while earning Finals MVP honors. Despite persistent roster challenges, James sustained his team's competitiveness through extraordinary individual performances, showcasing his clutch-time leadership and preternatural basketball IQ.

2. Legendary superstar Wallace (C) is coming! Wallace can be unlocked through the Legend Superstar Supply Crate (after the December 24 update).
- Ben Wallace carved his name among basketball's most improbable legends - a 6'9" defensive colossus in a giants' game. Defying his undrafted status and "undersized" frame, he weaponized a rare athletic trinity: pterodactyl-like wingspan, guard-quick lateral agility, and explosive leaping that betrayed physics. As the quintessential blueprint for blue-collar dominance, Ben redefined a center's worth through bone-crushing statistics, his defensive philosophy echoing across generations like tectonic shifts in the game's DNA.

3. Star player Ball (PG) is coming! You can obtain Ball through the Elite Player and Current Superstar Supply Crate (after the December 24 update).
- LaMelo Ball is a new-generation player brimming with talent and immense potential. Born into a basketball family, he displayed extraordinary skills from an early age. LaMelo possesses elite court vision, consistently finding the perfect moment to deliver a pass that sets his teammates up to score. His unique style of play, combined with superb ball-handling and a high basketball IQ, allows him to creatively orchestrate the offense and generate opportunities at will.
