This talented player, at the golden age of his career, a number of data in the previous seasons have set a new career high, but he made a phone call to the team management at the peak of his career, announcing that he would give up his annual salary of tens of millions, and his immediate retirement was so sudden, so arrogant, and so absurd, so everyone could not help but wonder, is this brother from a young age a family fortune or a vendetta with money? This dude is today's protagonist--- Larry Sanders.
But this is not the case, Sanders' father left him at a very young age, his family is very poor, and frequent moves also make it difficult for him to have friends, often lonely, but by chance he found that painting can bring him happiness, so he decided to use painting to make a name, but at that time survival is the biggest problem, so he can only temporarily put aside the most beloved things, with the outstanding physical talent god gave him to live by playing basketball. But these did not go well at first, because his technique was too rough, but the survival instinct can really force a person to grow, and in order to survive, he began to train almost crazy self-harm. Coupled with the surge in various functions of the body, an inner monster was born.
Soon he entered the varsity team, won the division championship in his sophomore year of high school, and reached a height of 7 feet in college, which made him the number one star and won a big contract of 40 million in the NBA. At that moment, he no longer had to worry about his livelihood, seeing that his future was bright, and then he was finally able to stop a little to complete his childhood dreams, but the accident also happened suddenly. Due to the extreme efforts made for survival over the years, he did not stop for a moment, and also made him suffer from serious psychological diseases under excessive psychological pressure. During this time, he had already told the team doctor about his anxiety, but those people did not care, and felt that he was a tough man on the outside, a fragile child on the inside, he did not say anything about it, and was still dying, but he did not expect that the last straw that overwhelmed the camel would come so early.
But on Christmas Eve, the team members are preparing to reunite with their families, but Kidd is furious because of the loss to the Hornets, he asks everyone to train during the holidays, and Kidd even shoots him in training, spraying him worthless. In the face of Kidd's lips and swords, his pressure was also like a fierce beast, instantly breaking his psychological defenses. After that, he was also in a worse state, close to collapse, until depression found him, and he could only hide in the art room in the attic, which was a long time, asking himself what kind of world he wanted. And finally in February 2015, everything had an answer, and the 26-year-old Sanders announced his retirement with a phone call, and it is no exaggeration to say that he laughed and voluntarily gave up more than 20 million.
As soon as this news came out, the outside world exploded for a while, and everyone laughed at his stupidity, laughed at his brain problems, and even laughed at his lack of basketball, nothing, but he didn't care about these rumors. Like Gauguin, the prototype of The Moon and Sixpence, the first half of his life doesn't know what to be busy for, until one day he finds something he really likes, so he moves forward.
And what makes people more unexpected is that Sampas became the manager of the com company through creation, blossoming everywhere in the field of art, painting, writing poetry, arranging music have achieved good business results, this time it is fiercely smoked the faces of those who are not optimistic about him, and more exaggerated is that he also created the song "don't run" on the hot search, and became famous in the Billboard list shocked the United States, and during that time it can be seen from the photos that he took his family on vacation, enjoyed the tranquility of Hawaii, and his face was full of dark clouds and sunshine. In the days of leaving the NBA, he really found the real love in his life, and through these defeated depression, he also started a basketball career again, just because of poor performance, and later faded out of the NBA, and then he switched to the BIG3 League, which is also very happy.
In fact, he didn't love basketball, and during that time, he really couldn't hold back. You could say he's a deserter, a loser in the NBA, the first person to refuse to cash in on his talent, and a model of failure, but why does success have to be defined by others? Finding what you want to fight for, is this not a way? In the street full of sixpence, he looked up and saw the moon, which is what Larry Sanders did what you wanted to do, and no one else said anything about it
