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

This could possibly be a good thing for Kobe. If James doesn't see the Lakers as his future, then Kobe may have a chance to live out his dream of being a Laker for life.


Conversely, if James decides to make his mark in Los Angeles, then Kobe, who hasn't proven himself since leaving Shaquille O'Neal, wouldn't enjoy the same extraordinary privileges he had in his previous life with the Lakers.

Yu Fei led his team to a straightforward victory over the Lakers with his stats of 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists.


After the game, a reporter asked him, "The Lakers seemed to have barely put any pressure on you, why do you think that was?"
