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

After the holiday, the NBA season remains busy.


They still have one-third of the regular season to play, along with an upcoming trade deadline that cannot be ignored.


Everyone is saying that Miami will surely make a move, as they aim to disrupt the Clippers' dynasty.


However, the Clippers drastically underperformed after returning from the break.


In their first game post-All-Star Weekend against the Timberwolves, what should have been a comprehensive victory turned chaotic due to Westbrook's reckless shooting style.


The Los Angeles Times bluntly commented, "Klay Thompson played like a lion who had just mated with five lionesses, utterly lifeless!"


Thompson is a miraculous shooter, but even the most miraculous shooters share the flaw of appearing useless if they can't make their shots.


Antetokounmpo was in good form, but he ended up being dragged into Westbrook's chaotic pace, causing trouble for Jokić.
