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

James understood that the ultimate challenge had arrived.


During the regular season, the Supersonics had achieved a 2-1 record against them despite an incomplete lineup.


However, the Supersonics had never played against the Lakers after the trade deadline.


Since then, the Lakers had maintained the highest winning percentage in NBA history, losing only two games so far, both during the regular season in unexpected defeats.


Entering the playoffs, the Lakers were undefeated, winning by an average of 18 points, surpassing last season's Supersonics to become the team with the highest average winning margin in the playoffs so far.


The arrivals of Antawn Jamison and Mike Miller made the Lakers the strongest offensive team of the era.
