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

Yao Ming couldn't just sit still; if he wasn't afraid of indulging himself too much and not making it to 2019, he would have even shared a Coke with Jokić.


"You're talking to a soon-to-be 37-year-old about extra training?" Yao said, "I think you don't want me to make it to 2019!"


The effect of extra training was very noticeable.


From the second week of the regular season, the entire Clippers team's performance soared, especially Thompson, who finally demonstrated the prowess of a top shooter who had helped the team win two consecutive championships.


Compared to the first week, the Clippers were like a completely different team, scoring over 130 points in four consecutive games.


This dazzling scoring feast marked a tremendous start to a season destined to be recorded in history due to explosive statistics.


However, the high-scoring spectacle wasn't unique to the Clippers.


According to ESPN reporter Zach Lowe: "The NBA is entering a crazy season of data overflow!"
