The auction of james' sneakers for Owen has attracted a lot of fan discussion in the past two days. There are two theories about this auction:
One is that everyone guessed that Owen took the shoes out for auction, and the other was that when Owen left the cavaliers, he threw the shoes in the cavaliers locker room, and did not take them away at all, and after the knight kept them for a few years, Owen did not come to take them, so he simply took it out for auction.
Whatever the reason, it actually means that the relationship between Owen and James is basically broken. All indications in the past few years have shown that the two of them have become strangers. Although there was a news that Owen called James to apologize during this period, this was just a bizarre episode, and it was a little difficult to understand why Jane had come to this point.
It is reasonable to say that the two are the ace partners who have won the first crown in the history of the Cavaliers hand in hand, and in the tortuous journey of winning the championship, a deep friendship should be established. But in just a few years, the two people who used to clap their hands with passion and hit their chests happily have turned a blind eye to each other, and the common beautiful experience of 16 years cannot even become the lubricant of friendship between the two.
In the league, there have also been some brothers or partners who won the championship together, and after winning the championship, for various reasons, the relationship once fell to the freezing point, and even turned against each other. The joy of standing on the top together does not seem to be able to compete with all kinds of "betrayals".
Kobe & O'Neill
The story between Irving and James, apparently similar to the story of Bryant and O'Neal's group, has a lot of similarities: the young star craves more personal accolades and attention, and parted ways after losing the Finals that year.
The difference is that Kobe Bryant has the courage to let the Lakers choose between him and O'Neal to keep him, while Irving certainly doesn't have the ability to let the Cavaliers send James away. So, in the end, it was Owen who "escaped" out of Cleveland in a forced posture.
Years later, Bryant and O'Neill reached a rapprochement: raising the AMFP trophy together in Phoenix was the beginning of their relationship breaking the ice; and a long face-to-face conversation on tv showed that the two were completely relieved of the past.
Perhaps, one day, Irving and James can also have a long talk and reach a "century reconciliation" that belongs to the two of them.
Tony Parker & Brent Barry
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal's feud is basically only for basketball reasons, and the two can still let go of reconciliation; and Parker and Barry, who won two championships at the Spurs together, may not be able to sit at the same table and smile at each other in their lives. Parker hooks up with Barry's wife, directly causing the two families to fall apart. Moreover, unlike later stories between Fisher and Barnes, Parker was even unfaithful to Barry's wife, and he was also confused with the Spurs teaching assistant. If there had been the word "Aquaman" at that time, Parker's nickname would not have been "French Sports Car", but "French Sea King".
Tony Parker & Leonard
The grace between Parker and Barry is severed, and the responsibility lies entirely with Parker of the "Wind Flow". The reason for the once stiff relationship between Parker and Leonard is not only that Parker is too blunt, but also because the media has added fuel to the fire.
At the time, the Spurs' playoff spot was in jeopardy, and Leonard had been unscheduled due to a "strange injury", and even the team could not understand his specific situation. As a result, Parker, the big brother in the team, organized an internal player meeting to discuss Leonard's injury, and in an interview with the media, Parker said: "My injury is 100 times more serious than his"... He also said that "similar injuries, he can come back in 8 months." At that time, Leonard made 9 intermittent appearances in the middle of 10 months.
In fact, Parker later said, "I'm sure he'll get better, and all you can do is be optimistic." But under the hype of the media, "Parker satirized Leonard's deception" became the mainstream trend. The interview stimulated Leonard and his team, and Parker himself said that he did not have the opportunity to explain it to Leonard privately.
The relationship between Parker and Leonard also became awkward, and later they both left the Spurs, and there was no physical communication between the Raptors and the Hornets, and Leonard did not make any statement when Parker retired. However, after the Raptors won the championship, Parker said in an interview: "I am happy for Kawai and Danny Green..."
Garnett & Ray Allen
Maybe next to Garnett, I should add Rondo, or even Pierce's name. However, Pierce's obsession is not so deep, he and Ray Allen have been reconciled, Rondo and Ray Allen are not very compatible.
And Garnett and Ray Allen are so glue-like, Garnett can join the Green Army, Ray Allen can be described as a great achievement. But in the summer when Ray Allen decided to join the Heat, the friendship boat flipped over, Ray Allen thought he had been treated unfairly, felt deeply humiliated, and resolutely left the Celtics, and Garnett was puzzled by this, especially Ray Allen chose to hate the Heat.
To this day, the two still have not reconciled, Ray Allen seems to be less stubborn, Garnett is more "desperate", not long ago, on social media, the action of cutting Ray Allen on the group photo made everyone sigh.
