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 Supersonics could relax their approach in the first round against the Timberwolves. Compared to the Lakers and the Spurs, the Timberwolves were a relatively easy opponent.

Although his injury had not fully healed and he needed to wear a mask during the game.


Bosh could have rested longer, but with the playoffs about to start, he wanted to fight alongside his teammates. This increased his popularity locally and also brought more resentment towards the Supersonics' owner.

"Isn't it cool?" Bosh suddenly felt that using momentum to compensate for his lack of personal charisma wasn't a bad idea.
