NBA's King of Talking

Chapter 766 The First Person in NBA History

The Clippers won the 2022-23 NBA championship, their sixth title in franchise history. With this victory, they tied the Bulls for third-most NBA championships, behind only the Celtics' second team.

If a three-peat counts as a dynasty, then the Clippers' six-peat is two consecutive dynasties—that's truly terrifying! In NBA history, the longest winning streak is the Celtics' eight-peat, but that was back in the early days when the league only had eight teams. Things are different now; there are 30 teams, making winning a championship an order of magnitude more difficult.

Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is very happy. He never expected that he would win 6 championships in less than 10 years after buying the team. This championship efficiency is simply amazing.

Moreover, the Clippers' championship window is not closed. They will remain a top contender for the title for the next five years. Jia Fei is only 31 years old and has unlimited potential.

Back in Los Angeles from Miami, the Clippers celebrated their championship victory. Another championship parade was about to begin, and many felt as if last year's parade had just happened yesterday.

On June 20, the Clippers held a championship parade in the streets of Los Angeles.

Jia Fei was still on the first float in the row, next to his fiancée Lin Ning.

When the float arrived at the main street in the city center, Jia Fei suddenly started speaking into the microphone, drawing everyone's attention.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to our championship parade! Today is a special day, and I would like to take this opportunity to do something special. I hope you will understand and support me!" Jia Fei's words echoed in the air, and everyone's attention was on him.

What is Jia Fei going to do? What special thing is he going to do?

Is he about to announce his departure from the Clippers?

Many fans were on tenterhooks. If Jia Fei announced his departure from the Clippers, their hopes of defending their title next season would be dashed. No one believed Jia Fei would choose to leave the Clippers. No other team in the league could offer him such freedom. It's no exaggeration to say that this team was built according to his wishes; it's entirely his team. Los Angeles is his hometown and a major metropolis in the US. Where else could he possibly want to go?

Is he about to announce his retirement?

As soon as this idea came up, many people couldn't sit still. If Jia Fei announced his retirement, it was indeed a possibility. You know, Jordan chose to retire to play baseball after winning his first three-peat.

Please don't retire! Everyone is praying.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jia Fei suddenly knelt down on one knee, took Lin Ning's hand, and confessed affectionately: "My dear Xiao Ning, I hope that in this world, I can be your Jia Baoyu and you can be my Lin Daiyu, becoming a family that will never be separated. Please marry me!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the crowd erupted in uproar...

Wow, this is big news!

Lin Ning's mind went blank at that moment. She had no idea why this scene was happening. There had been no rehearsal, and no one had told or reminded her. But when it all happened, she was completely dumbfounded!

Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?

The fans in the arena immediately reacted, and they chanted "Marry him!" in unison. The chants were even more powerful than those at the Clippers' home arena, Intuit Dome.

Lin Ning was moved. She came to her senses amidst the shouts of the crowd, her eyes welled up, and large tears of emotion fell down her cheeks.

She didn't say anything, she just kept nodding!

Body language is universal. Even if many people in the audience don't understand Chinese, it doesn't matter. They saw Lin Ning nodding, and immediately applause and cheers rang out. So many people were witnesses!

Just then, a drone flew in from above and slowly approached Jia Fei's float.

Jia Fei reached out and took a box from the drone, opened it and a flash of light appeared!

Diamond ring!

Jia Fei placed a sparkling diamond ring on Lin Ning's finger, and at that moment, Lin Ning burst into tears...

Finally, she was going to become Jia Fei's wife! Although she had known this day would come, she never expected it to arrive under these circumstances. Before this, she hadn't noticed any signs. She had imagined countless ways and scenarios for the proposal, but she never thought it would be at the Clippers' championship parade!

This is an absolutely unique proposal scene, witnessed by more than 10 people. It's a scene that most people won't have the opportunity to experience.

Lin Ning was overwhelmed with happiness. She couldn't believe she was really going to become Jia Fei's wife. At this moment, she wished time would stop so that she could be surrounded by happiness forever.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the fans, Jia Fei completed his marriage proposal. The Clippers' championship parade also concluded perfectly amidst these blessings.

The idea for the proposal came from Jia Fei; he wanted to give Lin Ning an unforgettable moment. To make it unforgettable, it couldn't be cliché, and to be cliché, it needed to be unique. But it was already 2023, and it was incredibly difficult to avoid being cliché. Basically, every proposal idea you could think of had already been used. He certainly had the money to propose with a yacht or private jet, but there were just too many wealthy people in the world. If he could do it, so could others. That would inevitably be somewhat conventional and lacked originality.

Until he thought of the championship parade!

While the NBA holds a championship parade every year, it's extremely rare for someone to propose on a parade float, and even rarer for someone to choose that option. Moreover, the float Jia Fei was on was different; it was the first one, displaying six championship trophies. Such a scene is impossible to replicate, which is why he ultimately chose this method.

As everyone has seen, the results were fantastic, and this is something that will surely be talked about for some time to come!

Just days after his successful proposal, Jia Fei bought a $3000 million mansion in Los Angeles. He intended it as his and Lin Ning's marital home.

Previously, Jia Fei had kept a low profile, but this time he didn't. He needed a house befitting his status. He was no longer alone; he couldn't let his wife live with him in a small house.

Jia Fei's wedding was held on July 21 in Beijing, the capital of China. This was destined to be a major event in the basketball world, and there were so many people attending the wedding that they were countless.

The reason for choosing to get married this year is that Jia Fei has become the greatest player in NBA history, and his career has reached its peak, so starting a family is a natural thing.

……

A year later, the Clippers successfully defended their title, and Jia Fei completed his seventh consecutive championship!
