As the saying goes, when you say something out, it will be thrown out, which means that once you say it, you can't take it back. When a man speaks, he spits out foam and nails, which also means the same thing. What's more important is to say Just do it when you get there. Although the NBA is full of big men, everyone will inevitably say arrogant words when they are young. Looking back now, it is very embarrassing. So today, let’s recall some of the “famous quotes” that have appeared in the NBA and see which of them have become slap-in-the-face quotes.
1. O'Neal: My grandma can win championships with Jordan
As a high school player, O'Neal showed his amazing talent as soon as he entered the league. The world still belonged to Jordan and the Bulls. When the young and energetic O'Neal met the Bulls, he would naturally have greater fighting spirit. At that time, Rodman was guarding O'Neal. Although there was a big difference in size, Rodman was still very tough. Naturally, there was friction between the two. After a quarrel, Rodman mocked O'Neal for not winning a championship, and O'Neal responded that my grandma and Jordan could both win.
2. Ricky Davis: I thought James was here to help me
No matter how big a star is, it is inevitable that he will be bullied by older players during his rookie period, whether it is James or not. Paul, Lillard, etc. have all been bullied by veterans. Before James entered the league in 2003, Ricky Davis was considered the boss of the Cavaliers. In the 2002-03 season, Davis averaged 20.6 points, 5.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. However, James' arrival did not let Davis He clearly understood his position and asked James to carry his shoes. Finally, after Davis was traded away, he also said that I thought James was selected to assist me.
3. Durant: I will not join a super strong team
Durant has not played for a season, but many fans are still looking forward to Durant's return. Let's face it, Durant is still the second-best player in the league. In 2010, after James, Wade and Bosh formed the Big Three in the Heat, they caused a sensation in the league and received many negative comments at the time, thinking that this was the origin of the team. Durant, who was in the Thunder at the time, said that he would not join any super team. But in 2016, Durant chose to join the Warriors, which was a real slap in the face.
4. Green: We were the championship before you came
After Durant joined the Warriors, the Warriors' strength has directly reached a new level, and is on par with the second-tier players in the league. The team still has a long way to go. James and his Cavaliers never surpassed the Warriors, and Durant also became FMVP for two consecutive years. But last season, Green and Durant had a conflict at the end of a game. The two also exchanged words on the court. Green also cursed Durant with swear words and said, "After you come, We were the championship before." That's true, but after all, Durant brought two more championships to the Warriors.
5. Duncan: The future is yours
There is no dispute that Duncan is the greatest power forward in history. At that time, the Cardinals did not select Duncan and therefore retired. The Spurs brought five championships. Although James entered the league as God's favorite, his first trip to the Finals was not smooth. He was swept out by the Spurs led by Duncan. After the series, Duncan found James, hugged and said: The future is yours. The future does belong to James, but the league at that time still belonged to Duncan, and the championship also belonged to Duncan. The side blow hurt James' little heart.
