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

For the Clippers, it was an ordinary summer.

They definitely would not have major changes; the only thing to do was to keep the two-time championship team.

The Greek's rookie contract had only one year left, but he had been selected as an All-Star and for the All-NBA Teams in two consecutive years, and had won the championship with the team, fully triggering the "Yu Fei clause."


After negotiations, the Clippers offered Antetokounmpo a four-year contract worth $120 million US dollars. This might have been a dream-come-true moment for him. He finally achieved the grand ambition he had set when entering the NBA; this amount of money was enough to provide for his family's livelihood.
