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 second day of the All-Star Weekend, Yu Fei got up early.


After breakfast, Yu Fei decided to stroll around the gym and then ran into Vince Carter, who was venting excess energy.


Seeing Yu Fei, Carter also set aside his training, and the two found a place to sit down and chat.


"If my trade had happened just a few months later, maybe we could have teamed up in Milwaukee," said Carter with a face full of regret.


Because the Brooklyn Nets had already entered into a rebuilding mode, Carter hadn't been traded to the Nets.


The team that got Carter was the Golden State Warriors.


The Warriors were a middle-of-the-pack team in the Western Conference, even swapping benchwarmers for Carter, they were only playoff material at best.


After all, the Western Conference is known as a fierce battleground, where achieving a 55% win rate might, at most, get you a touch at the playoffs.
