I have been thinking about this change for a long time, not only because I want to write something new, but also because I have thought a little more.

Some time ago, I was looking at the history of the late Tang Dynasty, and mentioned the cause of the Anshi Rebellion, why did An Lushan die early, but the Anshi Rebellion still lasted for eight years?

Many studies have pointed out that the Anshi Rebellion was not only driven by the ambitions of An Lushan and Shi Siming, but also because of the general outbreak of contradictions between the Kansai and Kanto regions throughout the history of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, which made the turmoil so long and cruel.

Therefore, even if An Lushan died early, his subordinates, and the soldiers and people in Guandong still supported the rebellion.

Because contradictions don't go away because someone dies.

Returning to the topic of basketball, James did start the peak huddle atmosphere, but if James didn't choose to huddle at that point in time, would this trend disappear?

I can't see it, because James' huddle seems to be a personal choice, but it can be seen from the fact that many stars follow the trend later, and the contradiction between the player labor group and the team's management group has long been very big.

The younger generation of players craves more voice, more freedom and larger contracts, and more control of public opinion, rather than being treated as a pure asset by the team, holding it when it is useful, and selling it when it is useless.

This is directly related to social development, concept change, the rise of the Internet, the expansion of the market, and the player fan economy.

The culture of the NBA has slowly changed from the "war between friend and foe" in the relatively closed period in the past to the "friends on and off the court" in the Internet era.

The stars are getting richer and richer, their fans are getting bigger and bigger, and their influence is getting bigger and bigger, and they are no longer mere workers, but bourgeois reserves who are qualified to compete with the capitalists.

If you treat them with the same requirements as you would for migrant workers, a new generation of stars with more and more ego personalities will not buy it.

James belongs to the initiator and representative figure of the huddle era, which stems from some characteristics of his character, and belongs to the character that determines fate.

But in the 2010 environment, these stars have long been hooking up in private, and James is not the only one who wants to control himself, Bosh, Wade, and Xiaosi are all the same.

Even if there is no James' huddle choice, the era of star huddles and the resistance to the construction of a "loyalty culture" by the management will still come as scheduled.

It's just that James is too famous, has too many expectations, and Riley is too cunning, so he took James's mentality to the death, and took the lead in taking Bosh, which moved James, made him make a decision that shocked everyone, and caused a huge impact.

Later, James realized that he and Riley were not all the same, and he didn't want to stay with the Heat.

Therefore, James accelerated the outbreak of contradictions, and a major consequence was the suspension of the league in the 2011-2012 season, which is the biggest manifestation of the contradictions.

As for the reasons for James' decision, I think there are a lot of them, and there is a certain element of luck in them, so it is not inevitable.

Because according to the documentary 10 years after the "Decision" program, James mentioned that when he made the decision, he really thought that everyone would still like him and love him as always.

He didn't realize that there would be such a big backlash in public opinion, causing him to fall from the perfect son of Akron.

Later, James returned to the Cavaliers, somewhat with the mentality of making up for the regrets of the decision, which is also his character decision, he wants to build and make up for his own personality and make himself look as perfect as possible.

Of course, this is only one aspect, the Cavaliers have a good lineup, and it is also the deciding factor, which is his businessman side.

I'm not Jammy, I'm not Jammy, I'm just writing basketball for many years, and I feel like James is really full of drama.

He and players like Kobe Bryant and Curry are really in stark contrast in personality, and they fit their growth experience very well.

Sometimes, the controversy is often also the highlight, and in the past, I wrote a few books just to treat Lao Zhan as a villain boss.

Of course, he is still the villain boss in this one, but I hope to write a different James who chooses another plane.

In addition, tomorrow I have to run around for the New Year, and I don't necessarily have time to write, so don't wait for the update, just follow the fate, and ask for a leave.
