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

It was a Nowitzki-style golden rooster stance, but with a step-back move. Unlike other players whose step-back aligns with their dominant hand, Jokić's step-back used his right foot to step back and left foot to jump. The whole movement was full of disharmony, yet the ball went in.


This moment greatly annoyed Antetokounmpo.


He simply couldn't understand how someone could score in such a way.


Seeing this, Yu Fei said with a smile, "I think Nikola is ready."


These words puzzled Rivers. Wasn't he asking about the Greek? Why did he bring up the Serbian now?


In the following days, the situation at the training camp remained the same.


Antetokounmpo was eager to prove that he was the strongest player next to Yu Fei, whereas Jokić had no such ambition; he just didn't want to lose.


The two were evenly matched on the court.


However, off the court, Antetokounmpo was more attuned to Los Angeles's pace than Jokić.
