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 Wizards had the rookie Jared Jeffries jump the ball.


The so-called "Yu Fei the Second," whose skills had been put to the test over 70 games, had essentially convinced everyone that he was no Yu Fei the Second.


Compared to Yu Fei, Jeffries was more like the type of long-limbed, athletic forward that the draft churned out in bulk every year.


What set Yu Fei apart from these players were his ball-handling abilities and basketball IQ.


Yu Fei possessed point guard-level ball-handling skills, and his basketball IQ was undoubtedly high; every scout who watched him play believed it was on par with that of Magic Johnson.


Although Jeffries, who was fated not to become Yu Fei, disappointed the Wizards, his courage and fighting spirit were much greater than Kwame Brown's, which made the coaching staff very willing to give him opportunities.


Tonight, Jeffries won the opening jump ball for the Wizards.
