Chapter 1010: Supersonic Infighting!
No matter how Afflalo howls now, the dust has settled on the 2010 NBA All-Star roster.
This year is the first year of the comprehensive restructuring of the NBA All-Stars, and the 30 All-Stars have not lost their luster or lost their luster due to the increase in the number of All-Stars in the current NBA heat, and even on the contrary, with the current NBA heat, it is enough to support the popularity of 30 All-Stars or even more All-Stars.
After all, even with 30 All-Stars this year, there are still superstars of this level on the West side, such as Smalls, Nash and Catroy, and Afflaro.
Of course, this can also be said from the side, and the western side is indeed overflowing with stars.
Compared with the western side, the eastern side is slightly more miserable.
Originally, there were not so many superstars, and in the end, it was found that most of them were still concentrated in the Heat.
And the Heat, because the team is too ferocious, has led to coaches and media fans having a more negative perception of the team's superstars.
Whether it's an active team like James or a passive team like Garnett Pierce, you superstars are trying to make the NBA dark anyway.
Therefore, this year, all of the six green card rights of media reporters have selected stars from the west, and none of them have stars from the east.
From this, it can be seen that the embarrassment of the east in recent years.
Whether it is the competitiveness of the stars or the competitiveness of the team, it is indeed getting worse and worse, and the crazy and short-lived rise of O'Neal and the Cavaliers in the East last season seems to have completely turned into a mirror.
The gloom and bleakness of the East were particularly evident when the All-Star results came out.
But on the West side, there is not the slightest depression and kinship, and even because many players have finally been selected as All-Stars, the entire West is particularly dynamic.
There are 18 players selected for the All-Stars in the West this year, in addition to the SuperSonics of Yees, Durant, Rondo, Milicic, Millsap, James Harden.
There are also Oden Maddy of the Grizzlies, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Guy Yi Jianlian of the Timberwolves, Anthony of the Nuggets, Paul of the Thunder, Beasley and Curry of the Warriors, Nick Young of the Clippers, and Yao Ming of the Rockets.
Among these twelve people, Gay, Paul, Beasley, Curry, and Nick Young are all selected for the first time, plus the supersonic James Harden and Millsap, there are a total of seven new All-Stars in the West this year.
Seven new All-Stars, that's the new focus of seven media reporters.
The whole West now seemed to revolve around these seven men.
"Thank you to my beloved mom Wanda, without whom I wouldn't be where I am now, thanks to my good brother KD, who saved me when I was lost, and to the Frederick kids in Maryland, for their love for me, I can finally tell them now that your idol is now finally on the way to the brightest star in the NBA!"
Beasley, one of the two saints of the NBA, was not as emotional as other new All-Star players after being selected as an All-Star, in addition to gratitude or gratitude, and even for gratitude, the saint who has been donating all his salary to his hometown for charity, living in the worst apartment and wearing the worst clothes, announced that he would donate all his local endorsement contracts.
"In order to repay God's gift and everyone's love, I will donate all my local endorsement contracts to set up a charitable foundation, and I have the support of my best brother KD, he will also donate all his local endorsements, and the 'Wanda Foundation' will help children around the world who have basketball dreams."
For a while, the public opinion of the entire NBA was in an uproar, and even the president of the NBA, David Stern, was shocked.
No way, Beasley and Durant, as two of the most popular stars in the NBA now, have endorsement contracts on their bodies, in addition to international endorsement contracts with international brands such as Yes Sports, each of them has at least 50 local endorsement contracts on their backs.
What is a Local Endorsement Contract?
It is some small portrait endorsements or advertising endorsements in the United States such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, or hotels and restaurants, and the amount of these endorsement contracts will not be very high, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
The amount is a little small, but the amount is huge, Beasley's more than 50 small endorsement contracts add up, and that is tens of millions of dollars a year, and Durant, the number of local endorsement contracts on his body exceeds 80, and the amount on his body even reaches 20 million.
The local endorsement contracts on the two of them add up to more than 30 million, this is still a year, these two people are so young, let alone more than ten years of peak in the future, so the 'Wanda Foundation' is very likely to become the first foundation related to the NBA.
At the same time, the two took out $30 million at one time for charity, which is also the largest single charity expenditure of an American player in NBA history.
It broke the previous record of $10 million donated by Durant to China in May 2008.
For David Stern, his life has been inspired to make the NBA the number one sports culture icon in the United States.
There are things he can work on and things he can't.
This is what individual efforts and the course of history means.
It's like having a player like Yes, it's not something he's controlling.
This is the course of history.
And the emergence of two players like Durant and Beasley in the NBA, for David Stern, it is really the same as the emergence of Yes, which belongs to the process of history.
It's incredible.
When he took over the NBA in the 80s of the last century, what was the NBA like?
At that time, he had been joking privately that if the FBI came to the NBA to arrest people, no more than 10 out of 100 would have not committed a crime.
The image of the NBA was really notorious at that time.
How could such a notorious alliance become a cultural benchmark?
Why did he ban high school students from running for the NBA in the first place, didn't he hope that those black boys could feel the atmosphere of the university, feel the influence of culture, and feel the baptism of the soul, so that they would not be unable to withstand the temptation and eventually go astray after coming to the NBA.
It was only reformed in 2005, and five years later, Durant and Beasley really let him see the fruits of his reform.
With regard to actions like Durant and Beasley, who would dare to say that these black players in the NBA are some selfish villains, and the NBA is a place to hide dirt?
No matter how dark the players in the NBA are, there are now two shining pearls like Beasley and Durant.
Durant and Beasley's behavior is indeed shining.
Every year, at least 30 million yuan is taken out for charity, and all the local endorsements in their lives are donated, even if the two retire from the NBA, with the popularity of the two, the annual local endorsements will not be low.
So many people have calculated that the total amount of charity donated by Durant and Beasley is likely to reach a staggering $800 million or more.
This kind of charity, not to mention the NBA, even in the whole world, is rare.
Therefore, not to mention David Stern, who couldn't help but stand up with red eyes, even the Olympic Committee, FIBA, and even the United Nations UNESCO stood up and responded at the first time.
"Thank you KD and Mike for their love of the game of basketball, and thank God for allowing the NBA to have these two players with brilliant personalities, they are God's gift to the NBA, to the whole of basketball, and they make the NBA shine!"
David Stern's words are very emotional, and after translation, it is, if KD and Beasley are not born, the NBA is like a long night.
Beasley was selected as an NBA All-Star for the first time, and the whole world was shaken.
Seeing the whole world shaken so much, and seeing his fame spread all over the world so quickly, Beasley was happy and at the same time painful.
However, when he thought that this was what KD meant, he would follow him even if it hurt him.
After all, KD has never cheated him, and he has gone from a rookie who failed to compete with Rose for the top spot to the present, almost crushing Rose in terms of fame, all thanks to KD.
Looking at the soaring degree of his fame and prestige now, Beasley has a deeper understanding of the very esoteric Chinese that KD often speaks.
"If you want to establish people, you want to reach people, you can get close to them, so that you can be rich and noble for a long time, and you are rich and expensive if you are unjust."
Seems like that's what KD said, right?
The Chinese in KD's mouth is always very profound, and he doesn't have a lot, but he can still understand KD's explanations.
Stingy, only know self-enjoyment, even if you have money now, everything will become a floating cloud in the future.
What's more, even if he doesn't think about whether he can last long or be richer in the future, setting up a foundation for Wanda's mother is also something he is willing to do.
The sensation and shock caused by Beasley's first All-Star selection made Beasley feel that the face on his face was really earned.
Of course, the other young players who are newly selected as All-Stars have a lot of moves to enhance their fame and reputation.
But whether it is Nick Young's treasure on the court, or Curry's cuteness on and off the court, etc., they are far from being as popular as Beasley's current limelight.
After all, this atmospheric handwriting, not to mention Curry, Nick Young, James Harden and Millsap, Paul and others were dumbfounded.
Even veterans such as Kobe, Nash, and James were dumbfounded.
Before, they really didn't believe that there really were such a holy person in this world, but now, they really believe.
For a while, Beasley's holy light not only shrouded the Warriors and Golden State, but Beasley's holy light has begun to permeate the entire NBA and the world.
Beasley was the one who started the big news in the minds of journalists and NBA players.
And as the real initiator of this matter.
Durant is quite low-key.
It's low-key, but it's actually just relative to Beasley.
In fact, to make such a big news, even if it is a supporting role, it is impossible to keep a low profile.
Throughout the supersonic training gym, almost most of the reporters are now surrounding Durant.
This incident made many reporters in the United States know for the first time that Durant actually had such a big move in 2008, 10 million US dollars, and he said he would donate it!
At that time, Durant was still in the middle of a broken leg, the lowest period in his life.
No wonder Durant can have such enduring popularity in China, no wonder after Durant's comeback, Chinese fans are so crazy about Durant, and even Yao Ming surpassed Yao Ming in this year's All-Star vote.
I really couldn't see it before, this is still such a treasure boy, this character, this character, this character, is simply a miracle among black people.
It's no wonder that many black media outlets have now canonized Durant and Beasley as the twin saints of black in the United States.
No way, the personalities of these two people are indeed worthy of David Stern's "shine on the entire NBA".
Durant is now suddenly being sought after so much, which makes Rondo very, very unhappy.
He didn't admit defeat in the battle between the second child!
But in the face of the current scene where teammates, even the media, and fans have turned Durant into the real second son of the SuperSonics, Rondo is quite unhappy.
Rondo is upset right now.
How could the sensitive Durant not feel Rondo's impotent and furious gaze.
This yin man can only be incompetent and furious now.
The battle for the second is never just a battle on the court.
The supersonic players are all promoted from the common people to Yes, and no one is more noble than the other.
Therefore, the battle for the second place of the supersonic is largely rejected by the evaluation of others outside the court.
If the fans, the media, and his teammates think he is a more suitable second choice, then he is.
And now, whether it is fans, the media, or teammates, they all think that he is a well-deserved second choice for SuperSonics.
And his Kevin Durant as the second child of the team is also something that makes fans, media, and teammates shine on their faces, and everyone is willing to support it.
As long as you pull Jian Longdo, the yin person, you are the second child, everyone will only feel that they have lowered their grade, and it is a shame!
Don't talk about you pulling Jane Rondo, even if James comes next season, then you have to be the third child for me!
The fans, the media, the teammates, all of them are on my side, what are you going to fight with me!
I still don't read much.
Seeing Rondo like this, Durant was very happy.
Pushing Beasley out again this time is not just about cementing his position as the number one wing next to Yes.
After he and Beasley set up this foundation together, even if Beasley messes around again, he will at least have a family business.
Moreover, so many people in the world are now morally kidnapping Beasley, and it is unlikely that Beasley will mess up in the future.
He still enjoys this kind of saint aura, and he enjoys it even more than a beep.
Rondo is angry now, the boss is far away, and the second is no longer guaranteed.
Nima's, the second master is now the third!
And the angry Rondo, who didn't notice it at all now, was next to a bearded man with pure and cute eyes who looked away from Durant's body and put it on him.
"KD's 'team fight' ability may have overflowed, and the second position is impossible."
But......
The bearded man who had just flashed his eyes turned back to cuteness and innocence when his teammates next to him looked at him.
