NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Feizhu did it too?

Upon hearing this, O'Neal's face suddenly turned ashen. He glared fiercely at Barkley, as if he wanted to kill him.

What's the meaning? !

The original quote should be, "Kobe said: Shaq did it too."

Shaq, of course, refers to Shaquille O'Neal.

The Kobe Eagle County incident in 03 came to light during Kobe's three-peat, at the peak of his career.

This nearly ruined his entire career, as well as his once happy family.

Back in the day, when Kobe was at the height of his fame, countless beautiful women would gather outside his hotel after every game when he returned to rest.

They all wanted to get close to Kobe.

They all wanted to sleep with Kobe, even if it was just a simple sleep, they would enjoy it immensely.

The so-called Eagle County incident.

It was the young and impetuous Kobe who couldn't resist the temptation and slept with one of the beautiful receptionists at the hotel.

Yeah, the kind where you don't sleep all night.

This is normal.

This is the treatment that big stars have always enjoyed.

Then... afterward, you can pay a sum of money to keep this kind of thing from being exposed, as if it never happened.

result.

The girl has been exposed; she was clearly acting voluntarily, but she insisted on being forced, which drastically escalates the situation.

Kobe couldn't explain it, and neither could he.

Then... a devastating wave of negative consequences followed.

First, the positive image gained from the three-peat was completely wiped out, and sponsorship contracts with companies like the Nike Hoop, Coca-Cola, and McDonald's were all changed.

Nike slowed down its signature shoe program, and the delay lasted for two years.

McDonald's and Coca-Cola couldn't withstand public pressure and terminated their contract.

Kobe became the object of universal scorn overnight, and the worst part is... he still can't explain it.

His teammates didn't speak up for him either.

He was framed, but he was isolated and helpless, unable to defend himself.

That year, he was only 25 years old, and he was overwhelmed by all sorts of terrible things, not knowing what to do.

He famously said: "Shaq did it too."

It means that O'Neal also slept, but he paid to solve the problem, so why are you all still targeting me?

Kobe was too young; he said those words in despair and helplessness.

I can barely understand it.

However, such backstabbing of teammates is definitely wrong, and it greatly exacerbated the disbandment of the "OK combination".

Although there is still no evidence.

It was all just Kobe's words.

But it also subjected O'Neal to public criticism for a period of time, and more importantly... this feeling of being "betrayed" was really unpleasant.

I treated you like a brother, and I opened my heart to you, and you betrayed me like that?

No one could accept that.

Barkley is now saying: Even the flying pig did it.

The literal meaning is: O'Neal boasted, but I had already boasted before he did.

Flying Pig also did it.

Secretly, it was a joke about O'Neal being "betrayed" by his good friend Kobe!

have to say.

Barkley's response was truly ruthless.

O'Neal's face instantly turned very ugly; if it weren't for the recording of a TV show, he probably would have lost his temper on the spot.

Magicians and big birds both understand.

"Hahaha!"

It looked like the two were about to get angry, and the show might not even be able to be recorded.

Magic Johnson interrupted the two with a loud laugh, bringing the topic back on track: "Charles and Shaquille are right."

I didn't understand at first.

I think... three-pointers are too far, and the shooting percentage can't be guaranteed at all. It can't become a regular scoring weapon.

He cannot lead the team to the top.

The closer you are to the basket, the easier it is to score.

This was our basketball mantra back then.

But after witnessing Ray Allen, Peja, Stephen's three-point explosion during his NCAA days, and Su Yan's recent series of unreasonable three-pointers...

My thinking has changed.

I think three points is pretty good.

"Hmph, what three-pointers and two-pointers? You still need to learn from me how to play basketball. Using your brain is the key."

Poor shooting and reckless charging.

This is not the right way to win.

Larry Bird, the "King of Pretentiousness," is known for his arrogant and boastful manner from the moment he opens his mouth.

He then changed the subject, saying, "However... times are constantly changing, and the rules of basketball are also changing."

We must also adapt to the development of the times.

In the past... not only was it an era of intense competition in the paint, but the rules were also more suited to the paint, leaving almost no room for perimeter players to survive.

It's different now.

After the NBA abolished the handcheck rule in the 04-05 season, the league had already subtly begun to support perimeter offense.

Times are changing.

The "Big Four" shooting guards of earlier years, or the current generation of small forwards like LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Durant.

The era of the center forward is coming to an end.

Now the three-pointer craze is sweeping the nation again, and the prototype of the small-ball era is indeed emerging!

of course.

I still firmly believe that as long as you play smart enough, you don't need to be exceptionally talented, regardless of your three-point shooting ability or physical attributes.

You'll be able to thrive in the NBA.

For example, me, with average talent, yet the greatest small forward of all time, a legend in the top ten, even top five, of NBA history!!!

have to.

The arrogant king of self-praise eventually goes further and further down the path of self-congratulation!

Yeah, Larry did it too!!!

The four legends, amidst their bickering and self-praise, almost all agreed that the league was beginning to take shape in the small-ball era.

Three-pointers are gradually becoming the main theme of this era.

This forum also brought Su Yan and Curry, who were not very famous, into the minds of fans.

[A potential stock that adapts to the times].

This is how fans perceive the two players.

……

6 pm.

Following the TNT symposium.

Midtown Manhattan.

555Ten.

This is a modern glass tower, filled with luxury apartments.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view of the beautiful scenery of New York City.

Obviously.

This is a zone for the wealthy.

A luxurious 800-square-meter apartment on the 28th floor.

Ding.

The elevator door opens.

A young girl in a white dress walked out; she was as beautiful as a princess from a fairy tale.

A private male butler followed behind, carrying the little princess's schoolbag.

The butler asked with a smile, "Miss Walter, have you been reading a lot lately?"

"Of course."

Walter Marcia said matter-of-factly, “I’ve been trying to read and study hard lately.”

I can only make him like me more if I become better.

She was the girl who had recently confessed her feelings to Su Yan with a bouquet of flowers, but was rejected.

She has an unparalleled beauty.

“Miss Walter is wonderful.”

The butler praised him with a smile.

Princesses are meant to be pampered; that's the steward's job. Besides, Walter Marcia is indeed so beautiful that it's hard to criticize her.

The butler stepped forward and opened the door.

The first thing Marcia did when she got home was to go straight to her study and take the latest basketball news from the newspaper rack.

Looking for news about him.

She attended Loyola School, a top-tier private high school in New York City.

The students here all come from wealthy or influential families; almost all of them are rich.

The high price is justified; the school boasts top-notch teaching staff and a distinguished student body.

They are all good at studying, and... have strong abilities.

During school, students are not allowed to use their mobile phones and must focus on their studies.

The "he" she was referring to was naturally Su Yan.

As soon as she got home, she couldn't wait and excitedly flipped through the news about Su Yan.

I long to know everything about him.

She naturally also saw Su Yan publicly reject a hot and beautiful female fan.

This made Marcia very happy.

As expected... Su Yan likes me, and only me, which is why he rejected her.

He only has eyes for me.

However... I'm still too young, that's why I didn't agree!
