"After this Championship Trophy, they were all wrong about us!"
It wasn’t his fault that the Cavaliers hadn’t won the championship, the Magic Team making a mistake by letting him go, and the Lakers not giving him a big contract to retire on was the worst mistake of all.
Otherwise, he could have won two more championships with Kobe... Now, because they let him go, the Lakers are one championship short!
Don’t underestimate the significance of just one, because the Lakers are only one Championship Trophy away from tying with the Celtics.
This championship was extrely crucial.
But now, it had been handed over to Shaquille O’Neal by their own mistake.
The loss was much bigger than $20 million a year!
That’s what they get for underestimating Shaquille!
Impatient, O’Neal could hardly wait to face the post-ga dia and spit fire with his words.
The result for the Finals MVP had also been handed over to David Stern at this ti.
Of course, even though it wasn’t announced yet, everyone already knew it.
Averaging 34.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2 steals, and 1.4 blocks over the first five gas of the Finals, and setting a new scoring record in the last ga guaranteed him the award.
"The 2008~2009 Season Finals MVP goes to... Su Wan from the Pacers!"
Indeed, without any surprise, Su Wan received the trophy symbolizing the highest individual honor in the Finals, as announced by David Stern.
Now his tally of regular season MVPs, Finals Trophies, and Finals MVPs ca to 3, 4, and 4 respectively.
Hmm?
Why hasn’t anyone declared him the "goat" yet?
Everyone just says he’s a step closer to Michael Jordan.
Su had to admit, when it ca to publicity, soone indeed was the "goat".
At this ti, only a few thousand people were left in the stands, making the entire venue seem quite empty. Su Wan took the microphone from the host, glanced at the cara, and joked as usual,
"The familiar feeling is back!"
This triggered a burst of light laughter from the reporters.
They understood what Su ant.
His fifth season as a professional, and his fourth ti delivering the "Finals MVP" speech on the biggest stage.
If this isn’t a familiar feeling, what is?
Su Wan had beco the one most familiar with the Finals MVP trophy in recent years.
"Even though it’s not my first championship, this one is the most aningful..."
"At the start of this season, most dia outlets didn’t believe we could end up as champions!"
"They thought Shaquille O’Neal was nothing without Kobe, Zach was just a stats padder, Chauncey rely a system player from the Pistons, who would be exposed outside of Detroit, and that Mark was inferior to his brother, not to ntion they thought Jermaine’s injuries would end his career..."
"That was their definition of this Pacers team at the start of the season!"
"But the results..."
"Shaquille showed a different side, becoming the best pick-and-roll player in the league!"
"Zach was no longer a team cancer; he beca an All-Star and a secret weapon in the first two gas of the finals, now one of the best big n in the league!"
"Mark proved himself in ways his brother couldn’t compare!"
"And Jermaine, my dear brother, had to overco not just physical challenges but ntal ones as well, and he did it. He beca the best Sixth Man in the league!"
"And finally, Chauncey..."
"He’s still a system player, but this ti, a Pacers system player. If a player can excel in any system, then... he’s not just a system player!"
"Erging from doubts is a difficult task, but we did it!"
"So..."
"Don’t define the Indiana Pacers lightly!"
"Only we can define this team!"
A year since his last Finals appearance, Su Wan stood on the championship stage again, delivering his victory speech. This ti his words seed less aggressive than the last, but still, they firmly countered all the skepticism the team faced at the start of the season.
Amidst che cheers from Indiana, Su Wan concluded his speech.
Shaquille O’Neal was the first to rush through the visitor’s tunnel, his face unable to hide his smirk as a swarm of reporters buzzed towards him.
Yes, yes, bring it on!
I’m going all out tonight!
Once the crowd of reporters around him seed no longer to increase, Shaquille started to speak:
"See?"
"It’s proven, Kobe was just luckier, getting to work with a Huaxia player before !"
"If I had joined the Pacers last season!"
"Then the Lakers wouldn’t have stood a chance at the championship!"
"Now can all those ridiculous comnts disappear!"
"I was the core person behind the Lakers’ three consecutive championships!"
"Kobe, under the sa conditions, isn’t my match!"
"And..."
"LeBron!"
"Listen up!"
"Su Wan could lead a 37-year-old Shaq to defeat Kobe and win the championship!"
fɾēewebnσveℓ
"Yet a 35-year-old pri Shaq couldn’t even get you to the Finals!"
"Now, you should realize how big the gap between you and Su Wan is!"
"Stop making excuses!"
"You’re just not capable enough!"
"If Kwa Brown had the sa treatnt as you, he would’ve won the championship long ago!"
"The ’Chosen One’ is the biggest joke!"
