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

Kobe quickly scored another 2+1 on Durant, prompting Yu Fei to enter the game.


Subsequently, Kobe made the free throw, and the Lakers extended their lead to 9 points.


The atmosphere in the Staples Center was electrifying, as Lakers fans excitedly recognized the return of the familiar team.


Facing an opponent like the Supersonics, they had played to their strengths and now needed to maintain the momentum.


Yu Fei stopped the bleeding for his team with a breakthrough jump shot in set play.


However, Kobe was fully in form; no matter who defended him, he managed to get the ball into the basket.


Yu Fei moved to guard him, Kobe backed down, not possessing a physical advantage, but his agile footwork—twisting left and right, untwisting the defender's center of gravity like a twist braid—allowed him to score beautifully with a step-through layup.


"That's Kobe for you, you can always trust him!"
