Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

Silent Love
Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Douluo Dali: Unrivalled Tang Sect: With Sharingan

What? Tang San’s entire family were evil soul masters? The Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago just so Tang San could turn the Douluo Continent into his personal backyard? Impossible—absolutely impossible! If Tang San’s father wasn’t an evil soul master, then how did he manage to defeat three Super Douluos by himself ten thousand years ago? If Tang San and his allies weren’t evil soul masters, how did they cultivate at a rate that far exceeded ordinary people? Their absurd soul ring ratios and secret methods of soul ring enhancement—aren’t those techniques exclusive to the Holy Spirit Church? Back then, the Spirit Hall reached into every corner of the continent to awaken spirits. They clearly knew who was an evil soul master and could eliminate them on the spot. Yet now, evil soul masters lurk everywhere. How do you explain that? And what about the factions that once supported Tang San? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, once a peak force, has fallen to second-rate. The Poison Douluo’s clan? Its entire inheritance has vanished. Even the Holy Soul Village—where the Sea God Tang San first awakened his martial spirit—has become nothing but a forgotten relic. Shouldn’t it have become a sacred site? Why did it fade into obscurity? Not to mention the Holy Angel lineage—there hasn’t been a single Titled Douluo from that bloodline in tens of thousands of years. Why? And then there’s Tang San’s so-called “Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirits.” Aside from sounding impressive, are any of them actually true? Weapon-type spirits supposedly couldn’t absorb beast spirit rings—but before those theories, did the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect get their rings by dismantling towers? Did the Clear Sky Sect gather rings by smashing hammers? No… Something’s deeply wrong here.
