The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Chapter 521: Chapter 224: Redemption City_2

This League now has three "Multi-Giants" teams.

The Lakers are the "Three Giants," the Celtics are the "Three Giants," and to LeBron, the Pacers might as well be called "All Giants!"

As for Danny Ferri, he still hasn’t figured out the Vince Carter trade.

Why can other teams form "Multi-Giants" so easily?

Why don’t I have "Giant" teammates?

Cleveland just can’t attract star players.

LeBron James felt increasingly that his idea to team up with Wade was absolutely brilliant.

The only problem was...

The contract was too long!

He wished he had signed a 2 plus 1 contract.

That way, he would only have to endure one year in Cleveland!

Now...

He still had to endure two more years!

Honestly, he couldn’t wait to yell, "Shaquille did it too!"

And then head straight to Miami to form "Brother Basketball" with his good brother Wade!

But now, shackled by his contract, LeBron could only vent to Richie Paul.

As soon as Paul heard his dangerously ambitious idea, he immediately stopped him, "Look, buddy, it’s true Shaquille led the way, but you saw his role after joining – he only signed a $3 million mini mid-level. Even though you just entered your peak period, from Young James to Peak LeBron, your position in the team would definitely be below Dwayne. LeBron, are you sure you want that?"

At that moment, LeBron James was dumbfounded.

He really hadn’t thought about that aspect.

Right!

If I go to Miami, wouldn’t I become the "second man"?

Second man?

Pippen?

F**k Pippen!

I am not Pippen!

LeBron James now reacted negatively to that name.

How could he be Pippen when everyone kept saying he was like Pippen all the time?

He was clearly Michael Jordan!

He wore number 23, after all!

"What should I do now!" LeBron suddenly felt at a loss.

Richie Paul suggested, "You’re about to join the Dream Team, you’ll see Dwayne there, talk to him, ask him to come to Cleveland! But given the current situation, with so many teams having Three Giants, LeBron, even if you just team up with Dwayne, you might still not win the championship. Why not call another player from your draft year to form a peak version of the Three Giants!"

Go big or go home!

LeBron, excited, slapped his thigh, appreciating Richie Paul’s suggestion and his further innovative proposal.

Alright, if they are allowed to form "Three Giants," then I should be allowed to form the "Peak Three Giants!"

And indeed, he needed peers...

Those old guns were all the same, quirky and difficult, always nitpicking with him; he couldn’t deal with such characters; peers were much nicer. Especially Wade, who was absolutely fabulous; whatever LeBron said, Wade would only reply with "LeBron is right!"

Working with such a brother, LeBron believed there would be absolutely no disputes in the locker room!

"Okay, I’ll talk to Carmelo later, as well as Chris from the Raptors..."

If possible, he even wanted to form a "Four Giants" team!

They would all just take a little less money.

Most importantly, to overthrow the old guns’ reign and establish an era where the ’03 generation calls the shots.

Hmm...

LeBron probably forgot.

There was already an era where the ’04 generation had their say, swiftly skipping over them.

However, it didn’t matter anymore!

LeBron James’s eyes sparkled again.

He was already imagining the summer of 2010, all the brothers gathering in Cleveland.

Meanwhile, as Su Wan was preparing to return to China to join the national team, Larry Bird unexpectedly called him, saying Herbert wanted to meet up.

Su Wan gave him a time: "I have a flight this afternoon. We can meet at noon, otherwise let’s wait until I’m back!"

Bird quickly called back, "He has already booked a private room near the airport, I’ll send the address to your phone soon."

"Okay!"

Su Wan then met with Herbert.

The financial crisis sweeping across the United States had left this big boss quite distressed.

Compared to January, he had visibly lost a lot of weight.

But it was understandable; this financial storm had shrunk the Simon family’s assets by at least 20%!

Because the real estate sector in the United States had collapsed.

To mitigate this crisis, the United States would start their usual tricks, like printing more US dollars and buying back debt, making Europe and the rest of the world foot the bill.

Yet despite this, the financial crisis continued, with unemployment skyrocketing.

Various issues escalated, turning into social problems.

Along with Herbert was the mayor of Bolis.

"Su, staying in Bolis has really helped us a lot!"

The mayor’s face showed genuine gratitude, and Su Wan was willing to believe it was sincere, especially since Bolis had also seen a rise in unemployment. As Bolis’s "spiritual leader," Su Wan’s announcement of signing a "2 plus 1" contract acted like a shot in the arm for the city.

It was as impactful as when Michael Jordan returned to basketball all over the United States.
