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

After the timeout, the SuperSonics noticed a peculiar phenomenon.


As the second dominant ball-handler in the league to Fei, James had become a transporter, taking the ball across the court and then passing it to Pau Gasol.


Having Pau Gasol take the high post and direct the inverted triangle offense led to the collapse of the system dominated by James.


The Lakers returned to the "correct path" in the eyes of the Zen Master, and Pau Gasol did not disappoint; in his first possession, he found an opportunity for Antawn Jamison, a lob pass that helped him score.


Jackson hoped James could be like Frye, but that was only what the coaching staff thought. For someone like the Emperor who carried the hopes of Nike, the scorn of his hometown, and the obsession to surpass Fei, there was much more to consider.


With Marc Gasol as the pivot, James could still make a contribution.
