Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

Chapter 1159: Chapter 634 No Meeting in the Foreseeable Future_4

A hasty playoff journey with no championship, the parting was not pleasant either. Over the years, D.C. has always been a thorn in Yu Fei’s side.

But how should I put it? Time dilutes all secondary hatred and beautifies all the memories of good old times.

The D.C. media said, “Washington witnessed Frye’s rise, when we saw how a 19-year-old Frye confronted MJ, we should know he was extraordinary. As witnesses to that era, number 44 jersey should be retired in D.C.!”

During the period when the team closely associated with Yu Fei was eagerly discussing the retirement of his jersey, the Seattle SuperSonics remained embarrassingly silent.

They were unable to make a statement.

Of course, they wanted to retire the number 44 jersey too, but Yu Fei had already expressed two years earlier that he didn’t want to retire his jersey with Clay Bennett’s team.

So, as long as Bennett is still the owner, they cannot retire the number 44 jersey.

The wave of discussions about retiring the number 44 was a sign that the farewell tour had reached a climax.

Thereafter, at the 2018 All-Star Game, Yu Fei was the starting player for the Western Conference with a lead in votes by a landslide.

Kobe, who was also on his farewell tour, was selected for the All-Star game as well, yet the light of fireflies struggles to compete with the bright moon, Yu Fei was the protagonist of the All-Star Game.

From the beginning of the All-Star weekend, to the end.

He was the focus of the media.

During the All-Star Game itself, Kobe played for 16 minutes, scored 10 points, and then, his story ended.

Yu Fei accepted all the “tributes to his predecessors” games.
