I’m Really Playing Basketball

After winning the NBA championship in the 16-17 season, Chen Xiao, Wade and Luo Ge successfully led the Warriors to complete three consecutive championships, becoming the fifth in NBA history after the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls and Bobcats. dynasty.

At the same time, Chen Xiao also won his ninth NBA championship in his career and his second dynasty.

Tonight's victory is a historic achievement for the Warriors.

The same is true for Chen Xiao. He became the first core team leader in NBA history to lead two teams to complete three consecutive championship dynasties.

At the same time, Chen Xiao has another historic achievement, that is, he has won a championship for every team he has played for, starting with the Nets, then the Cavaliers, then the Bobcats and then the Warriors.

The team that Chen Xiao played for not only brought them the championship, but also achieved the most glorious achievements in the history of these teams.

For the Nets, the 2002-03 season was the most glorious time in the team's history.

For the Cavaliers, the 2004-05 season was also the peak of this team.

The Bobcats and Warriors, who were led by Chen Xiao to complete the dynasty and won four and three championships respectively, are the pinnacles of these two teams.

And this is why although Chen Xiao plays for many teams in the NBA, fans of each team love Chen Xiao very much.

Now Chen Xiao has undoubtedly become the greatest historical figure among all the teams he has played for, and even one of them can be removed.

It is precisely because of this achievement that on the night of the finals, Chen Xiao received blessings from all walks of life in the country, from top leaders to general administration leaders, to foreign dignitaries and celebrities. Chen Xiao used his 15 years in the NBA to and performances in the international basketball community, earning the highest respect.

By the way, after this year's finals, NBA commissioner David Stern announced his retirement.

The current NBA's influence in American sports festivals has surpassed that of the NCAA and several other major professional sports leagues. It is now second only to the NFL, and the NBA surpasses the NFL. This is really beyond the reach of time and manpower.

And on the other hand, although in the United States, the NBA cannot surpass the NFL, internationally, the NBA is indeed the number one sport in the United States in terms of influence.

Therefore, it is understandable that 75-year-old David Stern announced his retirement and felt that he had fulfilled his promise and dream when he became NBA president and completed his mission.

In David Stern's press conference and speech announcing his retirement, he highlighted the names of four people.

Magic and Bird, these are the two giants who started the era of NBA commercialization and idolization.

Jordan, this is the super idol who brought NBA commercialization to its peak.

Chen Xiao, this is the person who truly pushed the NBA to the top and fulfilled all his dreams and visions of the NBA.

Among the four people who were specially thanked by Western, David Stern mentioned Chen Xiao and Jordan the most.

This is actually understandable.

Chen Xiao is now recognized as the number one star in NBA history.

He is also recognized as the number one business person in NBA history who brought the NBA's influence to its peak.

And Jordan...

Jordan's achievements are of course huge, and his contribution to the NBA is of course huge, but to be mentioned the most alongside Chen Xiao is obviously not just because of his achievements as a player.

This is indeed the case. When David Stern announced his retirement, at the same time, David Stern announced that the new NBA president recommended by the owners of each NBA team is the former NBA No. 1 person and the current NBA team Bobcats. The team's head coach is also the head coach of the US national team Jordan.

Yes, after David Stern, Jordan became the new president of the NBA.

The former first vice president of the NBA, Adam Silver, was originally the prince David Stern prepared for him after his retirement. Because he always pushed for extreme commercialization as a joke, he was ranked high in the minds of NBA bosses.

It's just a pity that because he was too commercial and manipulated the game, he was eventually sent to prison by David Stern himself.

After Adam Silver was sent to prison, the NBA's reserve position has been vacant.

Although the NBA also has vice presidents and first vice presidents.

But these are all seventy-year-old guys like David Stern.

Obviously, these people are helping David Stern do things, not taking over.

Therefore, who will be David Stern's successor has always been a very suspenseful topic.

David Stern and NBA officials are also very secretive about this issue and have never stood up and made it clear.

There is a feeling of a secret reserve. After all, David Stern was actually under a lot of pressure to abolish the joke. After all, the interests represented by the joke are really quite large.

Major NBA sponsors such as Hook and many NBA team owners support Joke's path of commercial death.

As long as you make money, what's the problem?

Didn't you David Stern do whatever it takes to make money?

It cannot be said that you, a monk, could touch it at first, but now a Taoist priest cannot touch it.

For David Stern, when he saw that the NBA had the opportunity to reach higher achievements, he had to improve the brand value of the NBA and stop acting like a godfather.

But for those sponsors and owners, this is not necessary for the NBA to achieve higher brand value in the future. Their eyes are on what is in front of them. What they want is the traffic and popularity in front of them, and jokes can Bring them such prosperity.

Even if such prosperity is artificial and false.

Therefore, if we vote at that time and let the major sponsors and owners of the NBA vote, the joke may have higher support than David Stern.

Just like the domestic historical drama Yongzheng Dynasty, the eighth master is the chief. Maybe in the future I will want GG in the Qing Dynasty, but the eighth master does have deep support from the whole court.

Let's put it this way, if the chief during the Qing Dynasty was not Kangxi and had enough prestige to depose the Eighth Master, ordinary chiefs might not be able to do so.

Stern's joke about abolishing it really has the meaning of Kangxi's abolishing the Eighth Master, and he used his own prestige to force it.

After Kangxi deposed the eighth master, he pushed the deposed prince to attract the firepower of the eighth master's party, and then secretly appointed a governor to protect the fourth master, so that the eighth master's party would not have the opportunity to attack the fourth master, who was my hope for the future of the Qing Dynasty. He had good intentions.

As for Stern, although he has never watched Yongzheng Dynasty, this bad old man is also very bad. He knows very well that although the joke has been abolished by him, the values ​​​​represented by the joke are still deeply rooted in the NBA. This is the NBA's The eight-year-old party, if he pushed Jordan out early, then if Jordan did not follow the path of those people, those people would definitely look for opportunities to get rid of Jordan.

With Uncle Qiao's so much dark history, there is no problem at all in ruining Uncle Qiao's reputation.

They can only directly push Uncle Joe to this position and truly grasp the greatest power in the NBA. When they find that Jordan and they are not on the same path, it will not be easy for these people to get Jordan down. It is too late to regret it. .

Now that Uncle Qiao has come to power, maybe Hook and many jokers think that Boss Qiao is one of their own, and they all voted for Boss Qiao.

How do these people know that Boss Joe is now more radical than David Stern, a "retro school", "competition purist" and "competition over business"

After Boss Qiao came to power, he abolished some of the rules that had been imposed to restrict O'Neal. Chen Xiao was not surprised.

Jordan is not short of money. He took David Stern's position really not to make money, but to have ideals and pursuits.

Players, coaches, owners, and presidents, all must be top-notch. He wants to be the greatest in NBA history!

And he is not afraid of scolding. When he was a player, he was often criticized by the United States.

In short, in the midst of singing and dancing, David Stern retired, Jordan took over, and then the NBA entered a new era.

And amidst such singing and dancing, Chen Xiao and the Warriors completed a huge championship parade.

After all, this is a dynasty!

In the entire history of the NBA, only five teams have completed such a dynasty.

If you include the Heat, who have won three championships in four years, there are only six teams.

In this case, whether it is fans, teams or local spectators, they must show their greatest enthusiasm.

With such enthusiasm, as the protagonists of this parade, Chen Xiao, Wade, and Luo Ge are also very excited now.

The achievements of the three of them in the NBA are very high, very, very high.

After winning this championship, ESPN immediately invited hundreds of experts to re-rank the NBA's historical status list.

Chen Xiao still undoubtedly deserves to be ranked first.

Luo Ge and Wade both ranked in the top ten in one fell swoop.

Among them, Luo Ge ranked eighth and Wade ranked ninth.

Both of them were originally among the top ten goalkeepers. After this season, both of them bid farewell to their positions as top ten goalkeepers.

Of course, in comparison, Luo Ge's historical status is still inferior to that of Gao Wade.

Luo Ge has three championships, 2 MVPs, 3 FMVPs, 12 in the first team, 13 in the first defense, not to mention the minor honors of best defensive player and steal leader.

With just 2 MVPs, 3 FMVPs, 12 first team and 13 first defense, this great honor is terrifying.

Take Larry Bird as an example. Larry Bird and Luo Ge also have 3 championships. Larry Bird has 3 MVPs and 2 FMVPs. Their greatest honors are basically the same, but Larry Bird has won 3 championships. There are only 9, and there are none in the first defense.

Of course, for the top ten players in history, the honor of defensive first team is also the icing on the cake. It doesn't matter if it is better or not.

Therefore, even if Luo Ge has major honors such as championship, MVP and FMVP, he has three more titles than Larry Bird in one game.

However, in the end, when ESPN ranked Luo Ge in terms of historical status, he still ranked him behind Larry Bird.

It's not because of honor, but because of overall influence and strength.

In the NBA's historical rankings, major honors are very important, but they are not just major honors.

Luo Ge is very popular, and so many black female stars are crazy about him, but his influence and strength on the NBA and basketball are indeed not as good as Larry Bird.

Therefore, this time ESPN's historical status rankings, from first to tenth, are Chen Xiao, Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic, Russell, Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Ron Howard, Wade, and O'Neal.

This time ESPN ranked O'Neal tenth, but later, USA Today and other media also ranked Duncan tenth, and some media even ranked Kobe tenth.

Generally speaking, O'Neal has one more championship than Duncan. The sum of FMVP and MVP is the same. O'Neal has the achievements of a dynasty.

But Duncan is the only person in the past 15 years who has led a team to defeat the Marquette Golden Eagles era represented by Chen Xiao, Wade, and Ron Howard and win a championship.

In the past 15 years, 14 of the championships have belonged to teams led by Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard.

Only Duncan defeated Wade and Chen Xiao in 2004, and was finally crowned the championship.

Duncan's championship is also considered a very valuable championship, and it is also a championship that can greatly elevate Duncan's status.

Therefore, the historical rankings of Duncan and O'Neal are really controversial. No matter what media vote, the two are very close anyway, and it is normal for who is ahead and who is behind.

Of course, Kobe is ranked in the top ten not because of his great honor, but because of his accumulated data. As the first 40,000-point player in NBA history, and currently the player with the highest total score in the NBA, if Kobe is ranked higher Ten, it is understandable. After all, such a large data accumulation plus MVP and 3 championships, as well as huge influence, is actually enough.

In short, before this season, Luo Ge, Yao Ming, Wade and others were originally competing for the top ten goalkeepers in NBA history.

But now, because Wade and Luo Ge have been promoted, they have become O'Neal, and Duncan and Kobe are competing.

Maybe after Chen Xiao surpasses Kobe and becomes the historical scoring leader, it will eventually become a battle between O'Neal and Duncan.

Therefore, at the dinner party after the championship parade, Yao Pangpang regretfully said to Chen Xiao and the others: "It would have been better if I had retired a few years later. I had won the championship with you, and maybe I could have gone up." Walk."

Faced with Yao Ming's envious words, Wade did not tolerate him: "Even if we form a team, you will definitely be the one who suffers."

Although Wade and Yao Fat are good friends, Wade actually still has some thoughts about Yao Fat's retirement.

It was precisely because of Yao Ming's retirement that he was kicked out by Pat Riley.

To be honest, Yao Ming's act of retiring on the spot was indeed a bit sorry for Wade.

Of course, Wade actually just had some ideas. He actually didn't blame Yao Ming. After all, considering Yao Ming's height and body, he didn't want Yao Ming to use a wheelchair after he retired.

Therefore, in response to Wade's complaints, Yao Ming smiled and nodded: "Indeed."

If the four of them form a team, I'm afraid he won't be tied for MVP or FMVP.

Because he is not the youth of most American fans.

Chen Xiao, Wade, Luo Ge, their "goden 3", that is, G3, is the youth and sentiment of the American fans here.

This time, the three of them reaped the collective youth and sentiment that they once brought to the entire American basketball world.

He is not qualified to take advantage of this.

No one is qualified to take advantage of this.

This is the American basketball world's reward for the three of them.

After this reward, the three of them will not receive such a reward again, and no one will even receive such a reward in the future.

Just like Jordan's appointment as NBA president, their success this year also means that the NBA and American basketball have entered a new era!
