There was not much suspense in the 1997 NBA All-Star Game. The Western All-Star team played a good form at the beginning. Garnett, who made his debut on the All-Star Weekend for the first time, was very excited.
And the real protagonist is Barkley, who is complaining about losing the top 50 superstars, and he hopes to win at least one AMVP trophy.
"Hey, Chuck, didn't you say that serious people at the All-Star Game are idiots?" Louie said to Barkley jokingly.
Barkley said: "I'm an idiot, otherwise I wouldn't have lost the 50 superstars!"
Louie has heard Barkley complain about it more than once these days.
He cared, really cared.
He really felt that he should join in.
In his opinion, the reason why he was not selected is because he did not have a championship.
Why? Because Scottie Pippen and Clyde Drexler were both selected, and they both only had one championship, and they got it.
If he could have come to his senses earlier, if he could have opted for a superteam earlier, instead of thinking about fighting with Jordan and listening to Riley's nonsense, maybe he would have won a championship already.
The mixed champion made Pippen and Drexler selected for the 50th, and Barkley, who had been losing, was excluded by the judges, and he was very unconvinced.
Because Barkley is in good shape, Wilson is willing to help him get this MVP.
It just so happened that Jordan was also Barkley's buddy, and he didn't value the AMVP trophy himself, so he also did a lot of auxiliary work.
It's a rare sight to see Wilson and Jordan pull together.
The Western Star Team thus defeated the Eastern Star Team, and Barkley was elected AMVP, and then is today's highlight - the award ceremony of the NBA's 50 biggest stars.
Before getting started, the group first donned their NBA-specific gowns.
At the same time, some people will be interviewed on the spot.
As the fifty most outstanding talents since the birth of the NBA for half a century, they are the focus of media attention no matter where they appear.
Bill Bradley, a famous Knicks veteran who became a politician after retiring, is very envious of the conditions of today's players: "I dream of playing a game in such a arena."
"Mr. Basketball," George McCann said, "I once played the Finals in a barn."
The tragic pretended to be the greatest player in the game, and was extremely enthusiastic about other people's autographs and photo requests.
Today is a big day, and the last thing the 50 superstars should do is say no.
Even Bird rarely put down his body to sign for other people.
Only Kareem, the outlier, shook his head with a stern face and said, "No."
"Big Big Dipper" Chamberlain's speech was very official: "I am very honored to be selected with so many superstars, but we should be grateful that the NBA gave us a chance to get together and chat."
Louis shuttled among them.
He soon found his "faction".
Several of the Knicks dynasty cores selected to the Big 50 have gotten together.
Ewing, Kemp, Miller, McHale, Stockton make up a young group.
"Coach, here!" Camp yelled.
Louie came over, and the Knicks' selected active players were uniformly wearing navy blue jackets.
A total of 17 active players were named to the top 50, and the Knicks dynasty accounted for seven spots.
Wherever they go, they are the focal point in the focal point.
"Don't tell me, you guys look like that in these clothes." Louie teased, "Is this the winner of eight championships?"
Ewing, the spoiler, didn't even know how to talk, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Where's Benjamin?"
"Hey," Louis raised his head slightly and pointed them in the direction.
Wilson was interviewed by many media in a rose red coat, and those microphones were many
enough to be frightening.
"As expected of a big star, Patrick has never been interviewed by so many media." McHale laughed.
"That's what he got in Los Angeles, but I won more rings in New York," Ewing hummed.
"I just won an extra ring, so I don't have to talk about it every day, right?"
From Miller's "enough is enough" look on his face, Louie believes that Ewing definitely talks about "I have one more ring than someone" every day.
"I like to stress that because we can win more, and Benjamin, who came to LA for the spotlight, can't win anymore," Ewing said absurdly.
As soon as these words came out, Louis became unhappy: "Who do you look down on, with the current state of New York, can you win more? How do you plan to pay Mr. Dolan's huge luxury tax?
Because of Dolan Jr.'s outrageous actions, the Knicks need to pay the league a luxury tax of $300 million this year.
This is far beyond their tolerance.
Whether it is a large or small business, market capitalization and cash flow are often two different things.
The Dolan family may be worth tens of billions of dollars, but the cash flow they can use is often only a very small part. The expenditure of 300 million US dollars is considered a super investment in the business field, and now it has to be paid in vain. To the league, there is no benefit other than maintaining the roster.
In order to reduce the luxury tax, Dolan Jr. made several extremely stupid operations.
Repenting, he intends to renegotiate with the players.
It turned out that this matter could be done procedurally, because the two sides only reached a verbal agreement at the time, and the players, in addition to the explosion of the parties' mentality, also used all means to force the Knicks to accept the verbal agreement before the lead. .
The players' union also responded quickly and will take necessary measures if the matter is not reasonably resolved.
The league issued sky-high fines for this, requiring the Knicks to claim those contracts.
But the so-called sky-high fine is far less terrible for the Knicks than the $300 million luxury tax.
One after another, in order to temporarily suppress this matter, the league opened the door for the Knicks to pay the $300 million luxury tax in installments, so the two sides reached an agreement.
This clause will be known as the "Dolan Clause" in the future, but for the Knicks, the problem has not been cured.
Players' hearts are broken, and if there is no way to optimize cap space in the offseason today, there will be a huge luxury tax next year.
No matter how you install it, if you are in debt of $300 million a year, no one can afford it.
The power of the luxury tax is being highlighted, and even the Knicks can't stand it.
The days of throwing money at superteams are over.
Louie's remarks also mentioned the Knicks' current ailment. Due to Dolan's sassy operation, the team's morale is low, the chemical reaction is bad, and there is no attitude of defending champion at all.
Most obviously, Scottie Pippen deliberately didn't wear a navy blue jacket.
Pippen was wearing a rose-red coat tonight, and wasn't standing with Ewing and the others.
Because when the incident happened, Ewing and others did not speak up, which made Pippen feel betrayed.
At this point, Ewing could only stubbornly say to Louie, "Mr. Dolan has money, I'm not worried about that."
Old Dolan does have money, but Louie believes that if he knew that running the team would cost $300 million a year~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even if Dolan was sold to Africa, he would not be involved. .
Then, Wilson came over and took Rodman with him.
Rodman, the sole representative of the Vancouver Grizzlies, was handed a black jacket.
"Coach, just trade me over, I really can't stay in Vancouver for a day!" Rodman muttered.
Louie let out a haha, but didn't respond directly.
Wilson gave Ewing a complicated look, and the two shook hands and hugged gently, "I hope you
They can make it to the finals this year. "
"I can't wait to win my ninth ring on your heads," Ewing said.
"Okay, you two can't be harmonious. Today is a good day. Let's put the unpleasant things aside." McHale cried.
Wilson then greeted other old teammates.
From the attitude of others towards Wilson, we can see the lightness and weight of the camaraderie.
Kemp was the most rusty, just high fives with Wilson.
Stockton, holding the Big Brother stand, didn't look very relaxed.
Miller and McHale were very natural, punching, hugging, joking, and asking about the situation.
Wilson's joy came from the heart, he said to the staff at the scene: "Hey, give me a blue jacket, I want to wear the same jacket as my teammates!"
Then, Rodman also wanted one.
They also asked for one for Louis.
In the end, Louie, Ewing, Kemp, Miller, Wilson, Rodman, McHale, and Stockton all wore the same navy blue jacket for an extremely precious photo.
