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 regular season ended, and the Bucks ranked first in the league with a record of 66 wins and 16 losses.


Following the Bucks, ranking second was the Spurs from the Western Conference with 62 wins, then the Mavericks with 60 wins, and after that, the Detroit Pistons with 59 wins.


In terms of the regular season, this has been the league's landscape in recent years.


Bucks, Pistons, Mavericks, Spurs—four powerhouses standing tall.


It's just that, in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat rose last year, and this year the Knights have surged.


Last season, the Knights stopped short of the playoffs, but this season, with James averaging 31+8+8, they charged to fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 46 wins.


Although James entered the playoffs a year or two later than the outside world expected, at least he made it.


On April 14, 2006, the first round of the playoffs kicked off.
