Since the addition of the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron in 2019, thick eyebrows have truly entered their "golden age".
It's hard to imagine how he would have been selected as the "Big 75 in '75" if he had stayed with the Pelicans three times in four years (15-18), three block kings, and one All-Star MVP.
At that time, no one questioned his strength, but he only made the playoffs twice in seven years, and was beaten 8-1 by the Warriors, and the league's biggest "empty slash group leader" was his biggest label.
However, when he came to the Lakers, won the championship in his first year, and formed a "super duo" with a nine-year age difference with LeBron, they did not part ways like the Lakers' last pair of super-teams "OK", won the championship in the first year, and experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the next three years, but there was almost never a disagreement between the two.
And his performance in the park in the year he won the championship can be called the benchmark No. 5 performance in the small ball era, and since then "Park Eyebrow" has become a major concept god in the NBA.
Both inside and outside, big and small, dominating both offensive and defensive ends, has become the ultimate interior partner that every outside star craves today.
What's even more commendable is that Los Angeles and the Lakers, who are in the whirlpool of public opinion, are almost a "zero negative" star with thick eyebrows.
He gets along well with LeBron, both on and off the court. He doesn't fake falls, doesn't make free throws, doesn't foul maliciously, but he can always play top game statistics.
He didn't possess the ball on the offensive end and worked the defensive end, and Vogel and Ham successively let him play the No. 5 position that the Pelicans were extremely resistant to, but he finally accepted it for the sake of the team and to reduce the burden for LeBron.
Over the years, from the Clippers and Warriors to the Nets and Suns, the opponents and rivals may have spoken ill of LeBron and the Lakers, but rarely involve thick eyebrows.
The Lakers have experienced ups and downs, LeBron, Westbrook, Schroder, Russell, Vogel, and Ham have all acted as scapegoats for public opinion, but almost none of them can be angry with the thick eyebrows.
Because everyone knows how much thick eyebrows think in this era and how important they are to this Lakers.
If the Lakers are compared to a water bottle, LeBron is the mouth of the bottle, and his performance determines how much water can be filled.
And the thick eyebrows are the bottom of the bottle, not only under the greatest pressure, if it breaks, the Lakers will immediately fall apart, and not a drop of water can be contained.
This season, when the Lakers were eager to try to keep the team from last season's Western Conference finals while continuing to build up their roster and try to make a big splash, a series of injuries and Ham's chaotic hiring have been holding the team back.
And when faced with danger, the only thing Hamm can rely on is still Zhan Mei.
And the significance of thick eyebrows to the Lakers this season even surpasses James.
Played in 36 games, resting only two, and the Lakers beat the Rockets by 34 points in those games and lost to the Spurs, who lost 18 straight games.
Few people have noticed that Bush has played in 83 of the Lakers' last 86 games, and he seems to have shed the label of "glass man" as he enters his prime.
He averaged 25.7 points per game and ranked 14th in the league, second only to Embiid and Antetokounmpo on the inside, while his 17.3 shots and 7.3 free throws were the fewest of the three.
He averaged 12.2 rebounds per game, second in the league with 2.6 blocks, and third in the league with 30 double-doubles.
Among the four "interior monsters" in the league today, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Embiid, and thick eyebrows, he has the fewest shots, the fewest receiving, and the fewest ball holding time, but he contributes the average offensive statistics among the four and the highest defensive impact.
And in December, when the Lakers are about to rain and wind full of buildings, it is difficult to imagine whether the Lakers can still stay in the play-in area without the support of thick eyebrows.
He helped the team get revenge on the Rockets with 27 points and 14 rebounds in the first game of December, and then began his own killing journey in the midseason. In the finals, 41 points and 20 boards eliminated Brother Alphabet's Pacers, and even threatened LeBron's midseason MVP for a time.
The Lakers have faced a number of top opponents this month, and although there are fewer wins and more losses, the performance of the thick eyebrows has maintained the team's façade.
Facing the "popular fried chicken" and the new champion Wembanyama, 37 points and 14 boards.
The Timberwolves, the leader of the West and the first defense in the league, with the "200 million inside" Gobert + Towns, scored a total of 64 points, 25 rebounds and 7 blocks.
Facing the best rookie favorite, Holmgren, the second Thunder in the West, had 26 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks.
Facing the Celtics, the league boss and Boshen sitting on the inside, he had 40 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists.
Throughout December, Bushy Eyebrow had 28.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.6 blocks.
At the same time, it is also the second best defensive player on the current list, behind only Gobert.
When he stepped into his first year, Thick Eyebrows truly realized that he was the real leader and cornerstone of the Lakers.
The 39-year-old LeBron is still tough, but nowhere near to provide consistent impact on both ends of the regular season.
And as the real "top two leader" in this league, the thick eyebrows that are suitable for almost all outside superstars have to stand up at this time to shield the whole team and LeBron.
In an era when the small ball is on the wane and the giants are beginning to recover, the Lakers should be thankful that they made the right decision in 2019 to bring back what is still the best interior player in the United States, continuing the team's "super center tradition."
Optimus white jade pillar, sea purple gold beam.
There is no better language to illustrate the value of thick eyebrows.
