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

Back at the home court, the Bucks welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers.


Before the game started, Yu Fei chatted with an old acquaintance.


This acquaintance was not Allen Iverson, but Andre Iguodala.


The relationship between the two could be traced back to the Adidas ABCD Camp in 2001, when Iguodala was just an unknown player, struggling to find a team that would accept him. It was Yu Fei who took him in when he was rejected by the older players.


Afterward, as Yu Fei became famous at the camp, Iguodala also attracted attention, successfully got into college, and maintained contact with Yu Fei all the way through to the draft.


"AI, has old AI been good to you?" Yu Fei joked.


Iguodala said, "I think Allen is the veteran every rookie wants; you know, he gave me a car as soon as I arrived in Philadelphia."


Iverson's magnanimous gesture once again impressed Yu Fei.


If Jordan had treated his rookies the same way, perhaps their stories would have been entirely different.
