The Sterling incident did not occur at the beginning of All-Star Weekend, when the focus of both the NBA state media and the undisciplined media for the sake of ratings was still on the war of words of the NBA players.

There are two war of words that have a lot of influence.

One of the causes began as early as September before the start of the 13-14 season.

At that time, Sports Illustrated ranked the current NBA stars.

But Durant has a different opinion on the latest NBA Top 10 players in the new season selected by Sports Illustrated.

Although he didn't give a personal reason, he believes that former teammate James Harden, who first played for the Rockets, should replace Wade, who is ranked No. 8.

Obviously, Durant's quote caused D. Wade to be dissatisfied.

The Cheeks posted on their Instagram account tonight local time as evidence: "On September 24, 2013, Kevin Durant said that James Harden should replace me in the top 10. Once again, let him respect your place in history. ”

There was also a sentence added next to it: "If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"

As a result, Durant did not show weakness, and he immediately responded on his Twitter: "Don't just tweet, prove it to me!"

Due to the existence of Ruan Erniu, although D. Wade and James failed to successfully hit the championship, this man is the owner of FMVP and the championship after all.

Harden's meteoric rise is true, but judging from his achievements at the time, it shouldn't be a big problem for the cheeks to rank ahead of Harden.

But then again, Harden's failure to make the top 10 on the active roster is indeed a bit unfair to the beard.

And in terms of attitude, the bearded man's performance in the interview at this All-Star also seems to be much more mature than the two superstars who hate each other.

"I don't even know who that ranking is," Harden said, "I'm not really worried about that ranking at all, I'm playing every day and doing my best, and I'm going to leave it to you media to discuss." ”

Well, the emotional intelligence of the Uchiha clan must not be underestimated.

It's also worth mentioning that the two guys, the Great Tarantula and the Gills, also staged a fierce confrontation in a commercial for a famous sports drink, Gatorade.

Therefore, fans of the United States also called this a realistic continuation of the story of "dream within a dream".

Of course, there are also fans who say that there is no point in arguing for the 8-10 position, because there is no suspense at all about the first person in the active service, and the man sitting at the top has not said anything!

Ruan Erniu, who was annoyed by various media questions, had to stand up and make a handful of mud at the end: "James (Harden) and D. Wade are both first-class players in the league, and Sports Illustrated's remarks can only represent themselves."

The players are going to speak with their performance on the pitch and I think the audience will have their own judgment. ”

Big media such as ESPN and TNT are still broadcast according to the truth, but the tabloids have nothing to say, all kinds of pictures + text, anyway, it looks like Kraft Nguyen's king is contemptuous, as if mocking a group of losers.

When it comes to influence, although Event 2 is not as protracted as Event 1, it loses out to the latter in terms of topicality.

The cause of this incident was that LeBron James gave the NBA a "President Hill" ranking during an interview.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately sparked widespread controversy.

In the eyes of the active second man who led the team to the Finals for two consecutive seasons but lost to the Clippers twice, the four major stars in NBA history in his mind are Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Oscar Robertson.

It is said that there are only four of them, but in this way, many celebrities who have not been able to squeeze into the top four are in a hurry.

The Lord of the Rings used a sarcastic tone to "thank" LeBron for not placing himself in the top four in history.

In fact, the NBA has to be famous, and it is not one or two who have won the championship many times, and who is excluded from President Hill is prone to huge controversy.

Bryant also mocked in an interview: "Mount Rushmore?

You know, I grew up in Italy, so I didn't actually know how many presidents there were on that Mount Rushmore!"

To regain the common knowledge of Millican, Mount Rushmore is President's Hill, which is actually a presidential memorial park of the United States of America located near Keystone, South Dakota, USA.

The park is home to four 60-foot-tall portraits of former U.S. presidents who are four of the greatest presidents in U.S. history: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

The prototype of the statues of the first four generations of Hokage in Konoha Village also came from here.

It's certainly impossible for Bryant not to know that there are only four people on President Hill.

In the subsequent interview, he announced his answer, Jordan, Bird, and Magic undoubtedly entered the top four, but the remaining position, Mamba did not leave it to Big O, but chose the Lord of the Rings.

After that, Kobe Bryant emphasized that this kind of selection can't be judged in the top four or top five at all, because there are unique superstars in all eras of the NBA, and it is unfair to ignore anyone.

"It's impossible and unfair to pick only four guys [as the greatest players], man," Bryant said.

Perhaps feeling that the words were not satisfactory, Bryant finally said that Abdul-Jabbar should also be selected for President Hill.

Well, there's no mention of O'Neill!

However, some fans were still unconvinced, because Kraft Nguyen, the league's first active player, who already holds 5 championship rings, was ignored.

Fortunately, Erniu was relatively peaceful about this, and he didn't complain too much.

It is said that he is a foreigner, and he is not a citizen of the United States, even if his strength is really outstanding, he can't enter the "President Mountain".

The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and if he does not speak, it does not mean that no one speaks for him.

Embarrassed Sen and CP3, two teammates who have worked with Erniu, stood up and said: "Kraft can definitely enter the top four, there is no reason for such an epoch-making great player to be excluded!"

The war of words never ends, because where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Back to All-Star Weekend, let's start with the Rookie Challenge.

Barkley and O'Neal, the two fat guys, finally didn't come out to pollute the fans' eyes.

The league did a big job this year, with Grant Hill and Chris Webber as head coaches of the rookie game.

While the appearance has risen rapidly, the level of the competition has no intention of declining.

Anyway, it's all an exhibition game, and it won't be too ugly to catch the buckle when you have time.

In the end, Team Hill won the Rookie Challenge with a 142-136 victory over Team Webb.

Andre Drummond, the "Zhuang God" of the Hill team, also won the MVP with 30 points and 25 rebounds.

The data scored by the sophomore Zhuang Shen at this time is good enough in the eyes of most people, but the premise is that there is no Ruan Erniu The terrifying ruler is in front, as early as the rookie season, the data obtained by Erniu in the first time he participated in the rookie challenge was 34 points, 22 boards, and 22 assists.

This he meows back and doesn't give people a way to live, how come there are Kraft Nguyen everywhere.

Even fans of the United States are desperate to find that as long as the Trisolarans do not attack the earth for a day, the domination of the NBA by the bulls will not end for a day.

The first day of competition ended successfully, and the next day's individual competition continued.

The rules of the skills competition have been changed again this year, this time it is not a single participant, but a team confrontation, according to the MOBA game in the future, it should be called a double row of black.

In the end, Lillard of the Trail Blazers and Burke of the Jazz had the last laugh, defeating the rookies of the East by 0.1 seconds to win the skills competition.

In the three-point competition, Ruan Er Niu, who participated in this event for the second time in his career, once again completed the summit, and successfully defended his title in the confrontation with Owen, Lefou, Beal, Belinelli and other good players.

This is the sixth player in the history of the three-point contest to complete a back-to-back championship, leaving only Larry Bird and Craig Hodges, who are three-time three-point champions.

But unexpectedly, Erniu made it clear after the game that he would withdraw from the three-point contest.

In Erniu's mind, the three-point shot is just one of many offensive weapons, even though he has a lot of single-game three-point shooting records.

The most eye-catching is naturally the slam dunk contest, from the perspective of view, although the star level of this year's slam dunk contest is not the top, but from the scene, it is indeed a variety of picturesque.

John Wall and Paul George reached the finals, and as a result, Embarrassment won the favor of fans by completing the action of flying mascot aerial lever reflexive dunk, and was able to defeat Pickle Pepper, and was successfully voted by fans as the new "dunk king".

There are talented people in the country, and although this year's All-Star Game is full of saliva, the scene is really exciting.

After the individual competition, it was finally the turn of the finale of the All-Star Weekend - the All-Star Game.

Before the start of the game, the most eye-catching thing is the jersey of this year's All-Star.

It has a sense of science and technology, a feeling of a future soldier, and the logo on the chest is also very beautiful, at least in Erniu's personal opinion, this is the most brilliant all-star jersey in the past few years.

The starting line-up in the East and West has changed dramatically again:

In the East, Irving, Wade, George, LeBron, and Anthony became the starters, you read that right, there is no center, three forwards who can make up the Eastern frontcourt, Blake Griffin's personal performance is not bad, but limited by the Hawks' record, he had to be arranged to play as a substitute.

In the West, Curry, Harden, Durant, Ruan Erniu, and Love became starters, and from a reasonable perspective of the lineup, they are much more reliable than those in the East.

Erniu and Lefu are both experienced short insiders, and they play in positions they are familiar with.

Paul's decline in popularity is a surprise, but Stephen Curry's average per game stats are better than CP3's.

To say that the alliance didn't do anything is definitely a joke, even if Erniu rightfully became the king of votes, but with the big ticket warehouse of the Celestial Empire, he couldn't let the three guns kill the elementary school students, almost clearly telling everyone that the alliance is to support newcomers.

Due to the absence of a center, the pace of the game between the two warring sides has become quite fast, and sometimes they can even play 5 or 6 offensive and defensive transitions in a minute, and all kinds of fancy performances on the sidelines are dizzying to watch.

In order to add to the fun, during the break in the first quarter, the league also specially arranged for "Magic" Johnson to organize all the stars to sing birthday songs for Bill Russell, and the participating all-stars also sent birthday wishes to The Lord of the Rings in turn.

Among them, naturally, LeBron James, who did not put the hope king on the president mountain.

In the final quarter, the Western All-Stars led by Ruan Erniu and Durant maintained a slight advantage, and at the critical moment, Irving stepped up and scored consecutive points in the last 3 minutes to overtake the score.

However, Ruan Erniu then entered a state of rage, and on the basis of protecting the backcourt rebounds, he hit two unreasonable ultra-long-distance three-pointers in a row, both of which were completed in front of the middle circle through offensive and defensive conversions.

At 165:163, the Western All-Stars won the All-Star Game for the fourth straight year over the East.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 44 points and 33 boards, won the AMVP trophy for the fourth time in his career, thus surpassing Michael Jordan and tying the ancient legend Bob Pettit, who also won 4 times, to become the first person in history.

Ruan Erniu didn't say much after the game, he said with a smile: "If I have the chance, I definitely want to be the one of a kind." ”

Well, Erniu wouldn't have imagined at this time that he would win the AMVP for the fifth time in his career, but he would be several seasons late. However, there is nothing to regret, because it was his championship ring that he had already been missing.

Before the Clippers who successfully completed the All-Star Weekend returned to Los Angeles, Erniu received a call from Ouyang Haotian at the airport.

"You haven't returned to Los Angeles yet, something big has happened to you!" Ouyang Haotian said.

"Don't sell it, Steven, there's something to say!" Erniu said.

"Do you still need me to say, check it yourself with your mobile phone, Donald Sterling has been!" Ouyang Haotian said with a smile.

As soon as Erniu heard this, he immediately hung up the phone and turned on the phone, and the screen was full of news about Sterling's recording exposure.

A gossip outlet called TMZ exposed recordings of Sterling's racist remarks.

In the recording, Sterling wants his girlfriend not to bring blacks to the Clippers arena and throws a tantrum over her posting a photo with "Magic" Johnson on social media.

The red line of racial discrimination cannot be touched, but this is not the first time that Sterling has made a mistake.

David Stern was also raised high before and put down gently, could it be that after Xiao Hua came to power, he could really shoot at the capitalists of the alliance?

After returning to Los Angeles, the disappreciative Erniu completely understood that this time it was really not a casual talk, because judging from the scene, Donald Sterling had already been pushed by the wall.

On the following day, the league's biggest stars were the first to speak out.

Bryant said he would not play for Raheem Sterling, and LeBron James also spoke out against Sterling, saying, "If I'm playing for Sterling, then I'm going to strike."

Earl Lloyd, the first black player in NBA history, came out and blasted Sterling as "stupid".

Adam Shaw, who has taken over as president, has publicly stated that he wants to collect and investigate facts "quickly".

"We're planning to get to the bottom of this quickly, because from my personal point of view, it's unfair to the Clippers coaches and the players. Xiao Hua said this at the press conference.

Well, the head coach and players of the Clippers haven't said a word!
