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

This was a standard pick-and-roll, and the Lakers still switched on defense. According to previous habits, Yu Fei would immediately call for another pick-and-roll to gradually compress the Lakers' defensive resources, until Little Gasol had nowhere left to hide.


However, this time it was Artest who stepped up. He and James exchanged a look and suddenly, together, they abandoned Chris Bosh and aggressively pounced toward Yu Fei.


Yu Fei passed the ball early, Chris Bosh drove to the basket with the ball, tangled up with Little Gasol, but in the most intense moment he suddenly flung the ball towards the left corner.


Durant caught the ball in an open position. In front of him, the basket was as vast as the ocean. Artest, who should have been guarding him, was nowhere to be seen.


He gathered the ball, and a three-pointer swished through the net.


"Marc Gasol's problem is turning from a specific area issue into a global one."
