Chapter 429: Chapter 205 The Birth of the Indiana Dynasty_5

Just contributing one’s body wasn’t enough for such a career-oriented mentor...

Yet, she hadn’t even sacrificed that yet.

"Let us welcome, the eternal captain Reggie Miller!" His loud shout also made the whole arena chant Reggie Miller’s name.

Reggie Miller would refuse Su Wan’s goodwill, but he would never refuse the enthusiasm of the Indiana natives.

His life was already bound to Indiana.

Barkley said, "This is Su Wan’s charm!"

The outwardly tough Su Wan always made such warm gestures.

David Stern and the O’Brien Trophy had been ready to appear, but upon noticing the commotion at the courtside, he immediately stopped the staff who were about to roll out the O’Brien Cup.

Such a warm moment deserved more exposure.

He always believed that to add depth to the NBA, such human touch was absolutely essential.

Especially when someone like Su Wan took on such tasks, it made the matter itself more discussable and more charming.

As Reggie Miller came onto the court, the staff also found him a championship t-shirt.

To say Reggie Miller didn’t want to cry would be a lie.

He really hadn’t expected that God would let him meet such good teammates in his final year of his career.

Had he known, he wouldn’t have retired!

Then the O’Brien Cup officially made its appearance.

It wasn’t the first time the Indiana people saw the O’Brien Cup, and for the past three years, they had been its owners.

But at this moment, the cheers of the entire arena were fiercer than any previous year, the cheers in Conseco Arena resonating throughout Indiana.

David Stern looked at Su Wan, the focus of the entire arena, with indescribable satisfaction.

Not just because of the warm moment just now.

Do you know what the real-time viewing rates were in the last few minutes of the game?

million!

Even though the Pacers massively defeated the Lakers by 39 points in the fifth game of the championship, dropping the suspense of the champion significantly.

But the average real-time viewership for the entire series was as high as 29 million.

And the peak average viewership topped over 31 million!

These numbers might be nothing for the football league, but for the NBA, they were thrilling.

Especially...

This moment!

The Pacers officially became the fourth team in NBA history to establish a dynasty, with viewership hitting 33 million!

This viewership number alone was enough to make this year’s championship final a classic.

What’s more, this round of finals truly had some classic moments that exploded across the entire United States, Su Wan’s "Godlike shot" was key to the surge in the finals’ viewership.

Of course, Kobe then leading a strong comeback with the Lakers also significantly increased the drama...

As long as it boosts the ratings, skyrockets the NBA’s fame, then they are good players.

In David Stern’s eyes, Su Wan was now the embodiment of ratings and even of the US dollar.

Seeing these two things, how could David Stern not smile?

Su Wan also noticed that David Stern’s smile seemed warmer than before, surrounded by his team, he moved towards the O’Brien Cup and then invited Reggie Miller to join him in lifting the O’Brien Trophy, symbolizing the Indiana Dynasty’s third consecutive championship.

At that point, it was not only the beginning of the Pacers’ dynasty, but Su Wan also became the current league leader in earning the most championship MVP titles.

As for the player with the most Championship Trophies, it was currently Robert Horry.

Following the Rockets for "two consecutive championships" and then with the Lakers for "three consecutive championships," he had a total of 5 championship rings.

Following him were Su Wan, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe with their three championship trophies.

Of course, if looking from an honors perspective, Su Wan also had two additional regular season MVP trophies.

If all these principal honors were taken into account, Su Wan was already the leading figure in the league.

Kenny Smith also noticed this: "Su Wan now has 3 Finals MVPs, 3 O’Brien Cups, and 2 regular season MVPs. Charles, do you think he is now the number one in the league?"

Barkley responded, "From an honors perspective, he already is, and I guess from a personal aspect... it should count too!"

He wanted to say that, in the same position, Kobe’s personal ability might definitely be above Su Wan’s, but that didn’t mean Kobe completely dominated over Su Wan.

And after all six final games finished, Kobe’s average stats were 34.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2 steals, while Su Wan was slightly behind with an average of 33.5 points, 7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.5 steals, 1.5 blocks.

It could only be said that Kobe was a bit stronger than Su Wan, but not to the extent of pushing Su Wan behind.

Then there was Wade, whose strength was also on par with Su Wan.

Since neither could suppress Su Wan...

Saying Su Wan is "the first person" wasn’t a problem.

The most important thing was, Su Wan’s accumulated honors from the first three years of his career were too solid.

Wade’s strength was strong, but nobody would think of him as the first person.

As for Kobe...

He was now trailing by three Finals MVPs and two regular season MVPs behind Su Wan.
