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

LeBron James surely wouldn't be swayed by a player of Richard Hamilton's caliber.


In reality, what moved him was Kobe's sincerity. Kobe was well aware of what he excelled at, and if there was one way to defeat the world's number one player with absolute certainty, it would be for the second and third best to join forces.


James had Maverick Carter inform ESPN that he'd made his decision and to prepare for the special program.


Everything was ready; they could arrange for the fastest possible broadcast during the best time slot for "The Decision."


According to the contract, James would receive five million US dollars (after taxes) for announcing his decision on ESPN's special program, which would be donated to several cities' charities.


That night, James fell asleep peacefully.
