NBA: I'm really not a point guard god

Zhou Yao turned down the invitation from the NBA team Charlotte Hornets.

Moreover, it is also an invitation to participate in public welfare activities together.

You know, the Hornets' record is not bad.

As long as there are no accidents, this year will definitely make it to the playoffs.

Zhou Yao has not shown enough talent as many people boasted.

Although he is very popular in the media now, everyone knows that popularity does not represent strength.

Especially his speech almost offended the Hornets to death.

There are only 29 teams in the nba.

For any teenager who is interested in the basketball career, it is obviously unwise to offend an NBA team, and it is also a hometown team, for no reason.

Although many people in Charlotte support Zhou Yao's actions, some people are already worried about the child's future.

Of course, these people will certainly not include a big shot.

NBA commissioner, David Stern.

If you don't know someone, it's hard to believe that this chubby, not tall Jewish white old man would have anything to do with the world's top basketball league.

In fact, Stern originally practiced law.

Although, at that time, the biggest client of the law firm he worked for was the NBA.

Later, Stern entered the NBA to work.

At the time, no one thought this guy was going to work here forever.

Even Stern himself felt that he would just be a passer-by in the NBA.

At that time, the nba would only have a total income of just over 1 million each time, and the total value of the league was 4 million US dollars.

Of the 23 teams, 17 are losing money.

Those black players in the league brought top talent and low-level vices.

Cocaine use and other scandals accompanied those players almost all the time.

They take away most of the league's income, but in fact the average income of players in the entire league is only $25.

At that time, almost no one had heard of the NBA after leaving the United States.

What David Stern has to do is change all that.

Looking back now, he thinks he did a pretty good job.

However, Stern is still in trouble now.

Two years ago, labor conflicts caused the nba to shut down.

Now everything seems to be back to normal.

But as the president, Stern knew it very well.

Compared to two years ago, the nba is hopelessly in decline.

It is always said that David Stern is lucky.

In 1984, as soon as he became president, a savior came to the league.

Unfortunately, the savior is not David Stern.

Not his majestic NBA president.

It was a player, a god who wore the Bulls' No. 23 jersey and was named Michael Jordan.

Stern doesn't mind attributing the current glory of the NBA to Jordan.

On the contrary, he was very happy to see it succeed.

Even fueled the flames.

It also took advantage of the trend to push the entire nba to the peak of glory.

It's a pity that no matter how strong a player is, he will grow old.

Jordan is now retired.

The 98-99 season was okay.

Shorten the season.

The final champion, the Spurs, still came from a city like San Antonio with a relatively small market.

But in the 99-00 season, the market performance of the entire nba was still tepid.

This made Stern unable to sit still.

It can be said that at this time David Stern misses Jordan more than ever.

If Jordan is still a player of the Bulls, not the small boss of the Wizards.

Many things will be much simpler.

After all, as long as the poster is put up, it says that there will be Jordan's game in the arena tomorrow, no matter how many tickets are sold, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

Those damn reporters will also jump at me like flies smelling blood.

To this end, Stern thought of many ways.

One of them is to empower many young people to set up nba-related websites.

Stern even specified in the contract that these youngsters would also receive franchise rights.

As long as they can bring heat to the nba, they can sell nba-related products on their website.

These young people can participate in the sharing.

Unfortunately, in the end, only 29 young people successfully set up the website, and the rest were stillborn.

And these 29 young people's websites, before the end of this year, 28 have been drained.

Coupled with the bursting of the Internet bubble, Stern once lost confidence in the emerging things of the Internet.

He's even waiting for the 29th site to shut down.

Before that, he had also heard about a boy named Zhou Yao who lived in Charlotte.

It was brought up as a joke.

The person who said it felt that those retired superstars must have lost their minds collectively, otherwise how could they all praise the boy who couldn't shoot together.

As for David Stern, he doesn't care if the teenager really can't shoot.

What he saw was that this teenager could attract enough attention now.

Now, Stern is holding the investigation report on the boy sent by his subordinates.

As the president of the nba, to get this kind of thing, not to mention how easy it is, at least it is not difficult.

In fact, Stern basically already knew what was in the report.

The little guy's website, Stern, had just logged in.

To be honest, he loves it.

Some formulas are given on the website to calculate the strength of players.

Although many times, data can't really measure a player.

But after all, it gave those fans a basis for discussion.

What's more, there are not only one set of formulas given by the website. A star who is blown into the sky under one formula may be just a mediocre star under another formula.

With the basis, the fans' enthusiasm for discussion has suddenly increased to an unprecedented height.

At least, according to Stern.

This website called "Fans Home" probably won't be closed like the other 28.

What Stern likes especially is that although the fan family has emphasized more than once, the number one superstar in the NBA is now O'Neal.

The praise for O'Neal and the 99 champion Duncan has never stopped.

But as long as you look carefully enough, you will find that the player that the fan family really touts is someone else.

Kobe, Iverson, Carter, McGrady.

Although these four are strictly speaking, only Kobe is the real shooting guard.

The fan family still calls them the top four.

In addition to O'Neal and Duncan, the fan family's hype for the four major points is the most intense and successful.

In a short period of time, the discussion on them has reached an incredible level.

David Stern has been in need of Jordan's successor.

However, it has not been very successful.

Before the league pushed Hardaway and Hill.

It's a pity that after Hardaway was injured, his state is not as good as before.

Hill had many eye-catching moments, but they always passed by like a meteor.

In fact Hill never had a truly dominant game.

Moreover, Hill this season seems to have the attributes of a glass man.

Moreover, Hill is 28 years old and Hardaway is 29 years old.

In any case, it is inappropriate to continue to see them as Jordan's successors.

McGrady is 21 years old, Kobe is 22 years old, Carter is 23 years old, and the oldest Iverson is only 25 years old.

What matters is that they're clearly the ones who play better.

Stern has long wanted to elect the object of the alliance's favor among them.

It's just that I didn't expect to be robbed by this kid.

But that's nothing.

After all, Fan's Home is also a cooperative website officially authorized by the NBA.

If this kid can make more achievements, Stern is not a stingy person.

Don't mind giving him more benefits.

And this kid is so hot now.

If he can keep the heat going like this.

Stern didn't mind doing a steal, either.

This kind of enthusiasm is better left to the NBA.

rather than being brought into the ncaa.

David Stern has been president for so long, and he has always had a wish.

That is to let the nba completely overwhelm the ncaa.

In the United States, a professional sports league can't suppress the NCAA, it's still very embarrassing...
