At the opening ceremony, NBA President Adam Shaw made an opening speech, giving high praise to the city of Toronto and high expectations for this year's All-Star Game.

In fact, this All-Star is really a little different and carries an extraordinary meaning.

First of all, this is the 65th NBA All-Star, which will be held at the Canadian Aviation Centre Coliseum in Toronto, Canada, the home of the only NBA team based outside the United States.

And this is also the first time that the NBA All-Star Game has been held in an overseas city outside the United States.

This can be said to be a precedent, and it can also be said to be a change, which makes people can't help but hope that in the future, maybe the NBA All-Star Game will not necessarily have to be in the United States, maybe in other countries, other cities, such as China, such as France, Italy, Spain......

It would be great for fans all over the world to see the NBA All-Star Game in their own country one day.

Secondly, it is exactly 125 years since Dr. James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891, and 2016 is exactly 125 years since the invention of basketball.

Third, the first official game in NBA history was held in Canada on November 1, 1946, and now it coincides with the 60th anniversary, and the NBA's placement of the All-Star Game in Canada is also a commemoration.

Fourth, 2016 also happens to be the 20th anniversary of the Toronto Raptors, so this All-Star Game has a special meaning for the city of Toronto.

Together, it makes this All-Star class so meaningful, especially for the city of Toronto, and especially for the Raptors.

Chen Feng sat with his parents, Xiaowei, as well as Christine, the Smith family, and the Lin Chen family. Next to them is the Kobe family, Kobe's wife Vanessa, the eldest daughter Natalia, and the youngest daughter Gianna.

Kobe glanced at the stage and said to Chen Feng: "The inductees of the Hall of Fame will be announced later, and your compatriots are also inside." ”

"Well, Yao has already arrived. Chen Feng nodded.

He had met Yao Ming before, and this year, Yao Ming was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame along with O'Neal and Iverson.

The specific list has already been announced, but today is only an official ceremony.

After a while, Adam Shaw began to announce the list of people inducted into this year's Hall of Fame, and the first to go up was Shakui O'Neal, and the Shark's entry into the Hall of Fame was a sure thing, which no one doubted, and his name influenced an entire generation.

Next, it's Aaron Iverson.

When Iverson walked up, the audience erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

If you want to talk about influence, Iverson did not lose to O'Neill at all, and even surpassed it, even if he never won the championship, but his belief in not admitting defeat, the courage to fight, and the will to move forward on the field do not know how many people have infected.

It can be said that in the era of Jordan's halo fading, the most representative figure in the NBA is not Kobe, nor O'Neal, Maddie, but him - the answer, Iverson!

In that era, he left too many good memories for people, and also made people see too many sad scenes, he carried the whole team alone, and led the team to the final, creating a miracle. But in the end, it was lonely and lost to the Lakers in the finals.

I don't know how many people were touched by that Chifeng duel, and many people couldn't help crying after watching the game, sad for Iverson and sorry for him.

He is a fighter and a tragic hero!

Today, he finally entered the NBA Hall of Fame and occupied a place in it, as one of Iverson's fans, Chen Feng was also embarrassed, clapping his hands and applauding Iverson.

Listening to the cheers of the audience, Iverson couldn't help but redden, took off the Yankees' baseball cap, and saluted the fans in the stadium.

It stands to reason that he should be dressed in a suit for an occasion like today, but Iverson still goes his own way, with a wide T-shirt, a baseball cap, Reebok sneakers, and a thick gold chain around his neck, just like when he was younger, very individual.

In fact, Iverson wore Reebok shoes almost at all times, and only once did he switch to Jordan's sneakers, and that was when Jordan was inducted into the Hall of Fame.

At that time, when asked by reporters, Iverson had this to say: "I've been loyal to Reebok all my life, but today I have to replace Jordan, and I have to show enough respect for Jordan." ”

When asked by reporters about how he shook Jordan back then, Iverson said: "I never wanted to shake him down, I just wanted to play hard and win for the team." For me, every game is treated like the last. ”

That's Iverson, that's the answer!

Behind Iverson was Yao Ming.

When Yao Ming came to the stage, there were huge cheers in the audience, Chen Feng, as well as his parents, Xiaowei, Lin Chen's family, Christine, Smith, and even Kobe's family, all applauded Yao Ming vigorously.

On the stage, Yao Ming waved his hand and greeted everyone and began to make a speech......

In terms of personal achievements, Yao Ming may be inferior to O'Neill and Iverson, but in terms of personal influence, he is not much inferior. Especially in China, Yao Ming is a banner, the pride of China, and the person who really makes the NBA deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in China.

For a long time, many people have questioned Yao Ming's entry into the Hall of Fame, believing that he is not eligible to be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.

But in fact it is not.

These people only saw that Yao Ming had never won the regular season MVP, never won the championship, and never won the scoring title, but they ignored that even so, Yao Ming is still one of the top centers in NBA history.

What's more, Yao Ming's contribution to the NBA is far more than this, he has finally penetrated the NBA into every corner of China, creating huge commercial value for the NBA. These are not reflected in the figures, but we should not negate these achievements.

Behind Yao Ming are Swopes, one of the greatest players in WNBA history, Reinsdorf, owner and chairman of the Chicago Bulls, veteran referee Garretson, a veteran referee who has been in the NBA for 27 years, McClandon, the first African-American coach in the NBA, Beatty, and Posey.
