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

Marc Gasol won the initial jump ball for the Lakers.


The Lakers' first attack was very simple.


Richard Hamilton made a symbolic run from the inside to the outside, and James, at the top of the arc, passed him the ball, but Durant defended tightly, and Hamilton had no opportunity.


So, Hamilton passed the ball to Kobe, who had positioned himself down low.


Even though the game had just started, the Staples Center was already going crazy for Kobe.


Fei took the opportunity to taunt James, "Do you think Lakers fans would do this for you?"


Kobe made a turn-around jump shot, a signature move, and a "Duang" sound came from the basket, more befitting the Kobe label than the move itself.


"Oh! Come on!" Snoop Dogg, the famous rapper, repeatedly called out to Kobe, "Kill Brandon Roy, N-word! You are Kobe, N-word! Play like Kobe, N-word!"


Shortly after, Oscar-winning Actor Jack Nicholson leapt up and shouted, "Beat SE!"
