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 held his breath as he watched Yu Fei suddenly start toward the strong side. In an instant, Yu Fei switched the basketball from below his crotch to his left hand, pulled back, and shook off Kobe's defense. With his individual ability, he turned a half-open shot into a wide-open opportunity.


Yu Fei stepped back at the top of the arc and launched a three-pointer.


Yu Fei broke the scoring drought for his team, but the Lakers were quick to respond with a fierce offense.


On the court, they set up a five-out formation. Although James's drive was affected by Bosh's rim protection, a pass out to Kobe and a second drive led to a dish to Antawn Jamison.


After two penetrations by the Lakers, the Supersonics' defense collapsed, and Jamison scored with ease.


"For Los Angeles, the good news is the Lakers are starting to bounce back," ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy said, "and they've made significant defensive improvements compared to the last game."
