The video of David West talking about Sino-US relations in the past two days Chinese network fire.
Without mentioning it, let's talk about West the person.
Written successively before:
David West was born in New Jersey in 1981.
His dad is 196 cm tall and his mom is 183 cm high. So he's not like other giants, who are used to looking down on others.
He has been an introvert since he was a child and likes to practice trumpet playing at home. It is said that when I was a child, I still lacked self-confidence, but at the same time, I was very empathetic.
His favorite videotape in high school was: Duncan and David Robinson of the Spurs, studying their playing style.
Duncan finished college for four years before entering the NBA, with a bachelor's degree in psychology.
Robinson finished four years at University and went to be a soldier for two years, an authentic gentleman.
West also has this temper:
He also finished his senior year. Graduated with a tattoo of an X (in honor of his college), next to a sentence:
“My life, my way”.
He is a man of great independent thinking and knows exactly how to go.
He entered the NBA in 2003, but began too low-key, followed Paul's peak, became famous, and was called a 17-foot assassin by Paul.
His favorite game is Boxing Night 3 and his favorite drama is Everybody Loves Raymond.
In the 2008 playoffs, he provoked Dirk at one point, and the two suffered consecutive technical fouls. But after the game he was calm as usual.
He is the kind of person who can be as tough as a boxer and immediately return to a calm and spectator attitude.
After he went to the Walkers in 2011, he became the locker room boss almost immediately: thoughtful, talkative, clear-headed, big brother-like.
In 2015, he gave up his high salary to go to the Spurs and wanted to win a championship.
Later he also won the championship in the Warriors, as we all know.
In 2016, when the U.S. national anthem was played, he stood two feet behind his teammates and did not participate.
He supports Kapernick's attitude toward the national anthem, is familiar with American professional sports, and understands it.
He was a very cosmopolitan American: born in New Jersey, but basketball camps were opened to Africa, specifically to take care of the children who were promoted there.
He is also extremely knowledgeable about the history of African Americans and is an expert in this field.
In the summer of 2016, he met a man named Jerome in an elevator in Ghana who recommended that he engage in renewable energy.
He went: without thinking, he immediately invested 250,000 knives, and then flew to Africa very diligently.
He then published an article in Sports Illustrated (published in person, not in an interview), stating:
Every day, 1.2 billion people on the planet run out of electricity, 600 million of them in Africa.
"Tapping on the light switch, a luxury that we Americans take for granted, gives us all a chance to pursue our dreams," he said. But in Africa, many people can't do it.
So the last season of his career, at the Warriors, he said he played every day, thinking he had a sacred mission:
We want to help African children get electricity.
It's just one person:
Educated, independent thinker, not arrogant, not taking everything he has for granted, in America, but not in America first.
Caring for areas outside the United States, having a world vision, personally running to Ghana, really helping locals, thinking about power construction for Africans every day, such a reader.
Therefore, it is natural that he can say such a thing about Sino-US relations.
