Yi Jianlian's retirement not only represents the collective end of the golden generation of Chinese men's basketball 08, but also represents the end of the youth memories of post-80s fans. Of course, there is still a James in the NBA, but there are as many fans who like Old Jen as they hate Old James, and now it depends on how many years Old James can play, and whether he has a chance to win another championship.
Fans in the early 80s caught up with the golden age of basketball, whether it was the NBA, CBA or European league, there were countless talented players emerged.
I watched Jordan's second triple-in-a-row crown, watched the Bayi Dynasty, watched Kobe and O'Neal's triple-crown, watched Yao Ming's transformation from a big shark to a rocket, watched Maddie's highlight moment, watched Carter's dunk, watched the god of war Liu Yudong, watched Wang Zhizhi, watched Barkley kiss the ass of a donkey, too many basketball memories, that era was really beautiful.
