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

The version of Curry he had only seen in highlight reels was now, in the year 2011, beginning to feel a bit like the Curry of 2016.


Because in his past life he had been too young to experience the full rise of Curry.


The current Curry has actually just entered the state of the 2012-13 season prematurely.


There's nothing to worry about, he's just an "ordinary" All-Star guard, averaging "only" 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists.


The low-intensity preseason made the Miami Heat look almost unstoppable.


Wade's breakthrough, Curry's off-ball and with-ball threes, and the peculiar chemistry between Yao Ming and Love.


Yao Ming didn't actually do much; when he wanted to post up, Love could step out to shoot threes, and if Love wanted to post up, Yao could do the same.


But the thing is, Love was still a playmaker who could dish out an average of 5 assists per game.
