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 trend shows no signs of stopping in the short term.


Critics have been complaining for years. Their main concern is a change in style: do fans really want to see a fast-paced game where a team shoots 80 three-pointers? What about mid-range shots and post-up plays? Even the League's top brass has expressed worries. The former President, David Stern, half-jokingly said in 2013, "When our teams are shooting well, the game really flows like cloud and water; but when they're not, we could witness a tragedy of 3 makes out of 41 attempts."


This season might just be the moment where opposition to the style change and practical problems intersect.


Due to the three-point craze and its ripple effects, the League is on track to breaking the record for points per possession.
