What is the difference between a player's prime and peak? The two are similar but do not mean the same thing. The peak is the highest level of performance, while the prime is a period of good performance.

The peak likely occurs during its prime, the peak being the highest level. It often takes place during the middle or end of the 20s. It is said that a season during the prime accounts for at least 85% of peak stats.

The bonus is the set of years in a player's career where the player is physically and mentally at his best. The peak is a year or a few years when the player is at his best. It is similar but should be distinct.

Pat Ewing begins his fifth season with the Sacramento Kings. At now 63 years old, it is starting to take a long time for him. It is the case for almost all coaches in the 60s except those who have already won.

More than the players, he is the most determined to win the title. He didn't win it as a player. Not winning it as a head coach would be a failure for him. So he acted directly by asking for the trade of Huerter to re-sign Duarte, which allows a more defensive guarantee.

It is not an offensive problem but a defensive problem that arises. Seeing the problem is easy, but solving it is another story. That's why NBA-ready players are favored over raw talent when drafts for contenders.

To win, you have to be lucky too. Having a favorable matchup in the first round or any favorable circumstances is to be seized. That's what the Kings needed to have improved in recent seasons. But rather than relying on luck, we must provoke this chance.

The Sacramento Kings haven't won the championship since 1951 and haven't made the Finals since. It's too long, and they weren't even in Sacramento then. The Sacramento Kings are the only team with over 100 years of history.

Founded in 1923 as the Rochester Seagrams and the NBA since 1945, a single title in a century is too little. It's time to put Sacramento on a map.

From the start of the season, the Kings must be on the same page.

The NBA has prepared a good schedule for the Kings. Since Hector's draft, it's weird that Sacramento hasn't had its Mexico Game. That will be this season against the Cavaliers. And on top of that, they will be in a Christmas Day Game against the Warriors for the first time since 2003.

Hector meanwhile saw several projects come to fruition. The various training centers were built in Spain and Tanzania. The sports complex in Newport is also under construction, and everything is fine.

Santos Laguna were champions of Liga MX this season, and CD Badajoz narrowly missed promotion to Spanish D2. Slowly but surely, the money enters the wallet. Thanks to some NBA players, Belinda has obtained his NBA agent license and is officially Hector's agent.

And Alejandro, who was drafted by the Washington Wizard last year. He is author of a promising rookie season. While waiting for the victories, he does his role wonderfully, and the flashes of an elite playmaker have been seen.

With the retirement of LeBron James, it is in this general context that the 2025-26 NBA season begins. According to bookmakers, the Kings are 7th among the Power Ranking at the beginning of the season. But Hector doesn't have time, and the Rockets will only see the damage.

With 31 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks, the NBA knows things have stayed the same in Sacramento. The best rebounder is on this team. More than that, Hector is in line with an all-time record. He was one of the fastest player to reach 1,000 offensive rebounds at age 21.

He and Andre Drummond surpassed that mark on their 21st birthday, which is very fast. But Hector needed only 200 games, knowing there were ten fewer during his rookie season due to the pandemic.

The next game counted towards the NBA Cup. The Spurs also had to lose to Hector and his 32 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 steals, and 1 block.

With two wins and such performances, he is logically named "Player of the Week" with R.J. Barrett, who also announces the color with his 39 points against the Nets and his 29 against the Bucks. He has been one of the league's leading scorers for the past two seasons and is nearing his peak.

Drumbeating. Thus began his season, one of the best individual seasons in history, on the form as on the substance. Records will explode, and no one knows, but this is only the beginning of the "Beam Dynasty."
