Chapter 5: King of Gulabi Announces the Code of Hammurabi
Tim Grover is now undoubtedly a success, and he reflects the great American dream.
He served basketball god Michael Jordan for 17 years, and he has enjoyed great success and great rewards, and today he is worth more than 10 million dollars, he has his own column, he is also a success speaker, and he owns one of the best training arenas in the country: Attack Athletics.
It's a 60,000-square-foot (5,600 sq m) training center in Chicago that includes four NBA rule courts and a 1,000-seat multipurpose arena.
He's no longer the Indian-American kid who worries about going hungry, and his dad no longer has to go to the morgue to do portering.
He sat on a plane to Cleveland, and he enjoyed the attentive service of first class.
Frankly, he doesn't like to leave Chicago to work outside. But this time it was LeBron James who invited him, a guy who claims to be able to surpass Jordan. To be honest, as Michael Jordan's loyal partner, he has no worries at all about anyone else who can surpass Jordan.
But that doesn't prevent him from making a little money from this guy.
His work trip was from April 16 to May 16, and he earned $150,000.
Thiem doesn't think a player can be reborn in one month, training is a long-term persistence, and no one should try to climb to the top in one step.
So, he thinks the reason why LeBron James' team is doing this is more hype. The hype is that he hired a trainer for Michael Jordan to give fans and NBA teams some 'oh, lo and behold, he'll be the next Jordan' in no time.
However, after the contract was signed, things took a new turn. Goodwin said that if he wanted to add one more person, the client would change from James one person to two people, and he could add money.
Grover deliberately made it difficult for him to add $100,000, but in the end he bargained to $30,000.
Across from him was a shrewd woman who seemed to have caught her mental activity of wanting to make a little more money by the way.
He pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.
He knew that the $30,000 was an extra income that he could use to give bonuses to his peers.
Before getting on the plane, he received the player's profile.
Sushi the Sheep!
Oh!
This surprised him, he watched the live stream of the NCAA Finals, and he was very impressed with Suhi, and he wondered why there was a person who was so explosive and powerful, but whose jumping ability looked ordinary.
Moreover, he is proud of Suhi.
He's also Asian.
When he was growing up, he was discriminated against a lot because of his skin color and place of origin. In fact, he also played in the NCAA Division II League, and he played for the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Suhee's MOP is a great boost to the Asian American community in the entire U.S. society. It does much more than Yao Ming joining the NBA, because by nature, Yao Ming is an outsider.
And Suhi, who arrived in the United States at the age of 9, stood out from the American system, and only Asians can empathize, and only Asians know how difficult the process is and how much effort it takes in the middle.
Interestingly, Tim Grover also received a call from Nike's marketing department before the plane took off.
Nike asked him to help look at Sushi and LeBron James to provide them with two reliable internal data references.
This is a paid service.
Grover hurriedly asked his assistant to look at the contract he had signed with the two agents, but thankfully, there was no non-disclosure agreement regarding data sharing.
He did not hesitate when Nike offered to provide $50,000 in compensation and opportunities for continued cooperation in the future.
Hanging up the phone, he began to sigh that it had been a wonderful journey.
β¦
Suhee didn't enjoy the beauty of the journey, and when he arrived in Cleveland, he quickly found the high school basketball gym that LeBron James had agreed on.
Su Xi's arrival made the school leaders attach great importance to it, they prepared a lot for Su Xi intimately, and also took various photos with Su Xi, and asked cautiously: "Can we hang a photo with you in the stadium in the future?" β
Sushi said that of course there was no problem.
He didn't expect his popularity to be so high in Cleveland, and he needed to slowly adjust to the change from nobody to basketball celebrity.
Fortunately, Suhi is not a person who likes to show off his fame, he lives in a modest dormitory arranged by the school, and begins to train in the arena.
LeBron James came the next day, and he brought a group of good brothers with him.
Compared to Suhi who came alone, he has entered the status of a star.
He is familiar with signing autographs for fans chasing him outside, and his team strictly controls the number of his autographs, which can only sign 20 at a time, although it will make more fans lose it, but it also invisibly increases the value of his autographs.
The number of group photos is less, and the people who get the group photos are excited. But at this time, he will have a little brother to check the contents of the camera to make sure that there is no damage to the image of LeBron James.
"In the future, we need to clear the field here." LeBron's mom's boyfriend, Eric Jackson, is a bit arrogant.
But when he saw Suhi, he seemed exceptionally friendly. He told Suhi: "LeBron values his friendship with you very much and is willing to start a long-term relationship with you. β
Suxi and he maintained a friendly chatting atmosphere.
After a long warm-up, LeBron finally threw himself into training.
Suhi tried to ask him for a heads-up, and James looked around, and the complicated crowd around him worried him. "Jack, we're avoiding confrontational training right now," he said. If we get injured before we go to the draft, we're going to have to waste all the years we've been working on. β
All right.
Sushi was convinced.
LeBron James prepared a lot for the draft, and he was born for basketball. He thought about running in the draft back in 2002, and he even filed a complaint with the league. But the league doesn't allow a high school junior to enter the NBA, so he has to choose to finish the high school league.
LeBron James is indeed a super talent, and his simple training allows people to see his surging physicality. It's like a real beast.
In between practice, James revealed to Suhi: "I played with Jordan when I was 16 years old, and he had some private practice back then, and he called a lot of NBA players, and I participated. It's just that I spend more time sitting on the bench and waving a towel. β
"I've also played with Cavaliers players. I ruled over them. James proudly said to Suhi: "Originally, the Cavaliers were willing to provide us with a training field, but they were worried about being punished by the league. β
Sushi fully believed what James was saying.
There may be some exaggeration, but judging by the slogans and billboards that litter Cleveland with James, he's definitely the chosen one in Ohio.
"That's right, Jack. I suggest you change your nickname, Suxi the sheep sounds too cute and not domineering. At noon, James and Suhey started a new conversation: "Look at me, King James. James, the Chosen One. I know you're good at media campaigning, but nicknames are very important. Flyer Jordan, Shark O'Neal, Answer Iverson, Little Flyer Kobe... All superstars who play well have nicknames. β
Su Xi thought about this question very seriously.
"Mero used to call me a goat. GoatβοΌ Suhi asked, "How about this nickname?" β
Well?
James frowned, and he said, "Not good, that's my goal." Moreover, such a title is generally recognized by the media and fans, not taken by oneself. If you call yourself a Goat, it will look ridiculous. β
"Is that so?" Su Xi said suspiciously.
"Yes!" James was sure.
"Then I'll think again."
Su Xi thought seriously, and when she was about to finish eating, Su Xi said, "How about my nickname 'Law'?" β
Well?
James is not highly educated: "Law, such a strange nickname? What do you want to express? β
"The law, all people must act according to the law. Everyone is equal before the law. Suhi said, proud in his heart. After all, he has long regarded himself as the new god of basketball.
He was about to continue: This means... My rules are rules. I'm not targeting anyone, all of you have to listen to me.
How do you know that James's mother's boyfriend Eric Jackson slapped his palm, and he became excited: "This nickname is good!" King Guabi promulgated the Code of Hammurabi. β
"The king and the law, what a wonderful combination. Together, you can rule the NBA. Jackson praised.
When James heard this, he was very happy.
He said appreciatively, "Great." My nickname is the king, and yours is the law. Hahahaha! A perfect pair. β
Forehead....
Suhi frowned, he wanted to warn the two illiterate. In modern civilization, kings are bound by law. The law can make the king a mascot.
