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

Crusading against Artest for his war crimes committed tonight became politically correct in the Los Angeles sports world.


The topic of James passing on the chance to be a hero and facing Yu Fei's twenty-nine consecutive losses gradually disappeared as if it no longer mattered to anyone.


It was a PR victory for Nike, and one of media manipulation.


Because the public's attention span is always limited.


However, saving James's dwindling public image was just a by-the-way act for Nike.


They wanted to know how much clout Durant's performance in the game had generated for their company.


Lynn Memitt, however, felt pessimistic about this.


Durant's performance was no less than Kobe's for the Lakers.


His second-half performance was crucial for the SuperSonics to win the game, even Yu Fei praised him in the post-game interview.


Memitt initially thought that Yu Fei was broad-minded, not minding Durant spreading Nike's influence within Reebok's empire.
