Player evaluation
[Edit this paragraph]
He is not "Air Jordan", he is not "Shaq" O 'Neill, and he is not "Little Emperor" James. He doesn't score like Kobe Bryant, he doesn't have Reggie Miller's sadness, and he doesn't have Grant Hill's gentlemanly demeanor. In the eyes of NBA President david stern, he is not even a qualified player, but he is deeply remembered by people. Because he said, "I have my world, and I only live in my own world." Yes, he is Artest, a figure who inherited dennis rodman's mantle in the post-Jordan era.
What impresses Artest most is his bad temper. In fact, all this stems from his impatient father and miserable childhood. In June1979165438+1October 13, Artest was born in Queensbridge, new york. He has lived in the shadow of violence since he was a child. Once, a workman had an argument with his father Artest. Artest rushed up to pick him up and slapped him hard. He also witnessed his father beating his mother many times. 13 years old parents divorced. Under the long-term influence of his father, Artest's temper is very similar to his father's. Once a child provoked him in the school coffee shop, and he grabbed the child by the neck. Whenever someone laughs at him, he knocks him down with one punch, even his cousin. "I think it is the collapse and disintegration of the family that makes the child's temper moody." Old Ron Artest felt guilty, so when Ron Artest was 8 years old, his father sent him to an anger control treatment center. Knowing that this energetic boy who likes to shout all the time has no special sports, the doctor suggested Artest to play basketball, hoping that he could vent his inner anxiety and anxiety through this intense exercise. Basketball makes Artest happy, makes his life richer and more exciting than before, and makes him the darling of the school, but his grumpy anger is still everywhere. In high school, Artest was still yelling at his much older players. At St. John's University, coach Fran Flasche has racked his brains to train this special player, and he even tried his best. In order to arouse Artest's fighting spirit, he demoted him to the second team. "I don't want him to go to the second team, but I deliberately want to control his temper. To tell the truth, everyone on the team is a little afraid of it. " He is simply a thug on the court, waving his elbow or constantly using despicable means. Of course, his trademark glare also made many players shudder. During his college years alone, he got numerous technical fouls and sometimes fought with his teammates. However, considering that he is a gifted child, Francesella has always been very tolerant of him. However, seemingly tenacious Artest is very afraid of failure. So after every loss, Artest always shouts at his teammates. Pointing at his teammate's nose, he scolded, "Do you still want to eat tonight? ! No one is qualified to eat tonight! " After the fire, he felt uncomfortable. Coach Frascolla understands Artest's move very well: "He doesn't like losing, and he is worried that if he doesn't play well, he will return to Queensbridge." So, he trains very hard. Teammates leave after training, and Artest has to practice himself to exhaustion. Don't stop until you can't walk any further. When he returned to the hotel room, he fell asleep.
1June, 1999, Artest finally realized his prediction and entered the professional basketball circle at the age of 19. Chicago Bulls selected him in the first round with the 16 pick. Entering the NBA seems to indicate high income, but Artest almost went bankrupt in the rookie season of the Bulls. He used all his salary to support his brothers who were mixed up with him at Queensbridge, and finally had to apply for a job in an intermediary agency to make a living. In the NBA, strict and complete rules still can't bind Artest's hot temper and weird behavior. He once rushed to the media booth after a game and angrily ripped off a phone. He once returned to the locker room after a game and threw the blackboard on the ground, even though the coach was standing in front of him. He once dropped a TV monitor worth $6,543,800 on the ground, and the poor machine instantly turned into pieces. He also said that if he were the president of the NBA, he would never punish the player who kicked the ball into the stands, because "I think children like to watch this." In the league, the player broke his head in order to be an All-Star, but he didn't care: "Fans had better not choose my team, because I can't shoot, I can only defend, and I can only foul. Everyone will ask me,' What the hell are you doing?' "After the battle at Auburn Mountain Palace, he became more famous, but at the same time he also paid a heavy price. A ticket cost him 73 games and $5 million in salary. However, just before the auburn hills incident, he released his own CD album. The Queensbridge area has always been rich in hip-hop singers, and even Artest is good at singing. As a result, this CD album was very popular before it was released. Outside the courtroom, his supporters were holding CDs and eagerly waiting for his signature. " I have been fascinated by hip-hop music since I was 4 years old. When I am 30 years old, I hope I can become a professional musician. "On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, 2006, his latest rap album My World was released in Indiana. Previously, he traveled in major cities in Europe and the United States all summer and performed many tours. " Please use an artist's standard to evaluate my work, and don't treat me as an amateur basketball player who plays with tickets and makes music! "Artest said in an almost harsh tone. In this album, he sang NBA President david stern as a clown: "david stern! Damn it, david stern. I want to teach you some black rules. You should study hard. "Although he will face severe punishment, as a soldier, he is fearless and still bravely expresses himself.
Of course, there was another incident that shocked the whole league. 200 1 summer, "Flying Man" Jordan taunted Artest in the warm-up match, and then Artest slammed Jordan and broke the ribs of "Flying Man the Great". Jordan doesn't hate him: "In fact, I like this child." To this day, Jordan still regrets. "I know he is a talented person, but I also know that his grumpy personality will be a disaster for his life."
Indeed, he is a warrior, constantly challenging NBA rules, because he is fearless. In his world, only he himself, nothing can dominate his world. However, in today's highly commercialized NBA, it is difficult to tolerate such a bohemian alternative player. Sooner or later, he will pay for all this, and finally let him come to an end.
I hope Rodman's ending doesn't belong to him. ...
