Chapter 961: 314: Unprecedented Rights (Please vote for the monthly ticket!)_2
“Surpassing Greatness” clearly ans Roger will stand on the shoulders of all these Hall of Fars and completely surpass them. On this huge advertisent, the other Warriors legends are in black and white, only Roger, standing in the center, is in color, the aning is very obvious.
However, Roger likes this advertisent not because he wants to surpass the Warriors’ previous legends. In fact, Roger’s current achievents are already enough to overshadow them.
What Roger likes about surpassing greatness is surpassing the greatness he has already created.
If two three-peats can still be downplayed, then I’ll add another one!
However, the Golden State Warriors are different from Orlando and the Atlanta Hawks, to succeed here Roger needs to go through a brief rebuilding.
When Roger went to Orlando, Shaq was already there.
When Roger went to Atlanta, Scottie Pippen, the “can be strong but can’t be too strong” small forward, was already there.
Both teams had a little foundation for winning championships, and with a series of enhancents, they basically could have decent competitiveness.
But the Golden State Warriors?
The three existing players here each have their own problems.
Antawn Jamison is an easygoing person, introverted, not prone to causing trouble, and has the ability to score 50 points back-to-back. But he is a pure scorer, and apart from scoring, he’s good for nothing. His defense is poor, and his passing awareness is so lacking it doesn’t seem like a North Carolina product. Aside from scoring, he can’t do anything else in high-level gas.
Why is Jamison’s data not bad, but his trade value throughout his career is not high? Why did he score twenty thousand points in his career yet nobody thinks he can enter the Hall of Fa? Because everyone is not foolish.
Actually, Jamison’s origin has already determined that he doesn’t have the possibility of becoming a superstar—he grew up with both parents, and in a well-off family, almost without worries.
In the NBA, how can you beco a superstar without having a parent or sibling to rely on?
Gilbert Arenas, the Great General who would later beco renowned, was one of the most explosive scoring guards in the league during his peak.
But he’s a player who needs the ball in hand to exert his power, unfortunately, Roger also needs it.
The reason Roger needs ball possession is not that he can only play with it, but because only with it can he fully utilize his maximum function. Only playing off-ball, Roger’s output would significantly decrease.
Moreover, even if Roger can coexist with him on a tactical level, Gilbert Arenas’ personality will beco a severe issue.
He’s not like Paul Pierce, who though also notorious, arrogant, and domineering, never cared about being the team boss at any point in his career. Arenas, however, values this very much, because he is extrely conceited and proud.
The famous 2007 Adidas ad actually perfectly beautified the Great General’s image; in that ad, he seed like a humble and low-key guy, choosing the number 0 for himself, telling himself I’m just a zero, starting from the bench and slowly working hard to show those blind people, he’s simply a perfect inspirational idol.
But in reality, the reason Gilbert Arenas beca an undrafted player, beca a bench player, was largely not because others were blind, but because he was too much of a troublemaker.
As a high school graduate, he arrogantly thought that all Arican universities would be at his disposal, but was hugely disappointed in the end, feeling for no reason that the whole world was against him. In reality, no university dared to take him because he was hard to manage in high school; the coach rely said one sentence telling him not to focus solely on personal offense but to organize the team more, and he felt the coach underestimated his offensive ability, and instead, he did even more excessive shots.
If you were a college coach, would you dare to use such a person?
During the draft, he proudly opened champagne at halfti, pre-purchased gold chains, and watches. Then during testing, he refused to seriously undergo physical tests or use the treadmill because he found it too boring. In interviews, when people asked him about his ideals, he said mind your damn business, don’t waste my ti.
He felt that with his strength, he didn’t need to concern himself with these trivial things, and could easily enter the lottery.
Then unsurprisingly, his actions caused him to fall to the second round. As a result, he began to bemoan his fate, feeling the whole world was blind and he was greatly wronged, feeling once again targeted.
After entering the NBA and starting from the bench, Arenas went through a similar ntal journey again. But Arenas barely lasted half a season as a bench player; even Kobe spent more ti coming off the bench than him, yet didn’t have as much resentnt.
In short, Arenas has one logic: it’s all your fault, you idiots are blind, you all are targeting , you all inexplicably look down on . And I did nothing wrong, despite being extrely strong!
With such a person, honestly, just thinking about dealing with him makes Roger feel exhausted.
With Roger’s status, telling him to get out of the way and hand over the ball, he would undoubtedly do it, but it would definitely trigger his bla-the-world mode again.
“Oh, Roger is blind and didn’t give the ball.”
“I’m just a zero, and Roger also looks down on .”
“Let’s go, get out of this damn place!”
He might even end up bringing a gun to have a showdown with Roger.
Change him?
So people can change, but so people can’t change their whole life.
