The Rest, Only Noise

Latest website: As the New Year approaches, the popularity of professional basketball is driven by a group of retired celebrities.

After all, the top 50 is about to be selected, and those old guys who are steadily progressing are naturally not in a hurry, but there are still some waves of the era who were once famous, but now no one cares about them, wanting to let fans know how good they were.

In order to squeeze into the big list, the celebrities are doing everything possible.

At this time, the list is also being discussed nervously within the league.

First of all, the league put aside active players and selected fifty superstars from retired players.

Then, they start with Patrick Ewing and discuss who the current super center can squeeze out.

With little hesitation, the league chose to leave Bill Walton out.

Then there's Ralph Sampson, who can he knock out?

This time it was Nate Thurmond who was unfortunately shot.

Thurmond and Walton are both great centers, but if the comparison is Ewing and Sampson, then there is no suspense.

The competition for the roster is so fierce that many of the active players are the kind of players who can tell at a glance that they will enter the top 50.

The more active players score, the more retired players retire.

The league does not want to favor the past over the past, nor does it want to favor the past over the present. Therefore, there will also be some players who should be in the top 50 but fall off the list due to various trade-offs.

This is not surprising, it happens every time a similar selection is made.

Now comes the problem.

Retired players care about whether they can make it to the top 50, but don't active players care?

The answer is of course yes.

In addition to the big names like Sampson, Wilson, and Ewing that the league wants to bring in, there are also many small-name stars with good honors who are not eye-catching. They also want to be selected.

They are also mobilizing their contacts to inquire about news.

What surprised Louis the most was that Rodman actually cared about whether he could be selected into the top 50.

Louie thought that this guy had already decided to play in the world. It seemed that there were still things that Rodman valued on the court.

"I'll ask you a question," Louie said.

"Thank you! Thank you so much coach, I seriously, you should trade me, I'm fed up with this **** place in Vancouver..."

According to Rodman, he hasn't had a good day since Riley dispatched him to Vancouver.

Although old teammate Danny Ainge is extremely indulgent to him, as long as he plays 58 games per season, he will be given a full salary.

But Rodman himself is a topic figure, and topics are his willful capital.

What is the use of his topicality when he comes to play in a Canadian team?

The American media doesn't pay attention that far. Canadians prefer ice hockey, and Rodman's behavior seems to them to be both absurd and unprofessional.

After two months, Rodman felt that he was an **** more than ever, but apart from the increase in technical fouls, everything else decreased, especially the attention of the media.

Without attention, his performance art is like playing "one two three, wooden man". Every time he looks at the reaction of the outside world, people are always calm.

Therefore, Rodman very much returned to the United States to play for the home team.

If you can play for a traffic team like the Lakers in a big city, it would be a dream come true.

Louis, however, did not believe his assurances.

Although the Lakers now very much need players of Rodman's type-if their imaginary enemies are the Trail Blazers, Knicks, Heat, and Celtics.

"Dennis, I will consider your suggestion, but I think that if you want to be selected into the top 50, the first thing you need to do is correct your attitude and let the league realize that you are a good player. They'll be amazed to see what you've accomplished."

Rodman was still fooling, and Louis used the "Fifty Big" as a bait to divert his attention.

After Louie hung up on Rodman, he turned to the deputy of the league office.

President Garcia Lynn.

Louie wondered how far the top fifty list was coming together.

"Coach Lu, I didn't expect you to care about this matter."

"Does anyone else care?"

If Louis' understanding is correct, before him, several heavyweights called to inquire about this matter.

"Yes, I just finished chatting with Reed."

Louie didn't want to waste time wondering which Reed Lynn was talking about.

He asked succinctly, "The one in Washington?"

"That's right."

Auerbach's involvement in this matter was both unexpected and reasonable.

Based on the old man's age, he has basically bid farewell to the selection of the 75 superstars in the future. Therefore, the 50 superstars are the only superstar elections within his destiny that can affect his progress.

"What did Reed say?" Louie asked.

Lynn said with a smile: "Reid is a platform for the stars of the 1950s and 1960s. He believes that that is the greatest generation in the history of professional basketball. The stars of that era should be included in the top 50 list."

Hearing this, Louis didn't hold back, and just laughed out loud.

Auerbach's suggestion can only be said to be obvious.

He seems to be supporting the stars of the 1950s and 1960s, but in fact he is still praising his own people.

If the pro players of the 50-60s were the greatest generation ever, what should the honor be for the 50-60 Celtics who crushed a great generation?

Shouldn’t all their stars be in the Big 50 for a team that made the Greatest Generation losers? It’s only fair when they’ve exhausted their selections, and then it’s the turn of other contemporaries. .

Compared with Auerbach, Louis feels as pure as Liu Tianxian in his prime.

"Coach Lu, do you also want to say that the 80-90 generation is the greatest generation? If so, it goes without saying, I know what you mean."

"No, neither this generation nor the generation in the 1950s and 1960s are far behind, because the talent pools of these two generations are basically from the United States. I think that the generation after a few decades may be the greatest. generation, because by that time, the players joining the NBA will be the elite from all over the world."

All of a sudden, Louis changed the subject again.

"Well...if what you're going to say isn't the same thing as Reed..."

"It's the same thing, but not quite the same thing, exactly, the old guy is telling you who's eligible to make the Big 50, and I just want to know if Dennis Rodman is in the league office Dharma Eye."

On the other end of the phone, Lynn frowned: "Dennis?"

"Don't you think about him?"

"Coach Lu, do you think Dennis is qualified to be called the top 50 players in NBA history?"

Louie said without a doubt: "Eight championships, four DPOYs, being selected to the first defense for six consecutive years, becoming the rebounding leader four times in five years... I know there are stars in the history of the NBA, but Dennis is definitely the greatest in history. one of fifty."

"But Dennis' public image..."

"Isn't this more of an inclusive sports league that the NBA is? Isn't the honor of the bad boy not an honor? Garcia, if Dennis is not on the final roster, I will be very disappointed."

Lynn believes that giants like Louie and Auerbach should be given a "through ticket."

Auerbach gave the ticket to no one, and Louie gave it to Rodman.

"Coach Lu, we will seriously consider your suggestion and believe that there will be a satisfactory result in the end."

Lynn still did one thing wrong~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If he easily agrees to Louis' request, it will make the other party feel "I should ask for more places".

So Louis decided to pursue the victory and launched another disciple of his own: "Sean Kemp should definitely be selected, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Louis felt that he had instantly changed from Liu Tianxian in "The Family of Gold Fans", "Dragon and Babu" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes" to the one in "The Third Love" who had accepted the kissing scene and would The old driver who sticks out his tongue while snoring.

Hey, Louis, why do you want to ruin people like this?

If it goes on like this, even Garcia Lynn won't be able to be a loyal person in front of him.

Coach Lu shook his head helplessly.

On the other end of the phone, Lynn was really shocked: "Ah... this..."

Why doesn't this guy play his cards according to the routine?
