Silent Love

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. 
Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players.
This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost…

Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

The Bucks' second battle with the Lakers ended with another victory for the Bucks, but the smoke of battle did not disperse along with the game.


After the press conference, Yu Fei brought up old issues again, accusing Shaquille O'Neal of being a racist, which led some media to start questioning this beloved big man.


Just as the controversy was about to escalate, the Lakers cited O'Neal's grade two ankle sprain as a reason to put him on the bench.


Although some civil rights activists were eager to prove whether O'Neal was indeed discriminating against Asians, with him injured, the issue had to be put on hold for now.


Or rather, he never expected external forces to punish O'Neal.


If the external forces had wanted to punish O'Neal, they would have done so when the incident first happened, without needing Yu Fei to take action.
