LeBron James running away? He's going all in on Curry.

As soon as he said that, the flashbulbs went off like crazy!

Su Yang leaned back in his chair and began his comprehensive historical review:

"Let's take a look back at NBA history. When a player's individual ability or physical attributes are so overwhelming that they disrupt the balance of the game, what does the league do?"

"Back in the day, Charles Barkley's back-to-the-basket game was so unstoppable that the league specifically created a rule that 'post-up plays cannot exceed 5 seconds'!"

"Back in the day, Allen Iverson's crossover dribble was so sharp that the league not only introduced strict rules against palm strikes, but later also eliminated hand-check defense, using zone defense to limit his drives!"

"And then there's Shaquille O'Neal! To limit this prehistoric behemoth's dominance in the paint, the league changed the illegal defense rule, allowed zone defense, and even modified the three-second violation after a rebound!"

Su Yang's voice gradually rose:

"For truly dominant, all-time greats, the league's approach is always to create rules to limit them!"

"However, our king is a unique exception, one of a kind in the entire alliance!"

"When he can't shoot and always travels on drives, what does the league do? They don't call violations on him; instead, they invent an absurd 'Gather Step' just for him!"

"When he couldn't break through the towering centers standing straight in the paint, the league hastily introduced this so-called 'vertical jump restriction rule'!"

Su Yang sneered repeatedly, then unleashed his ultimate attack face-to-face:

"If someone plays well, the league creates rules to limit them. If they can't get in, the league changes the rules to restrict the players defending them!"

"This isn't playing basketball, it's like they're laying out a red carpet for him!"

The reporters gasped in shock. Su Yang's comparison had exposed the league's shady dealings!

"Of course," Su Yang added as a final, sarcastic remark.

"Even though the league has tailored so many legal traveling rules specifically for him, everyone who watches basketball knows that even if he's allowed four steps, he still often takes five or six steps on the court. It's just that..."

Su Yang winked mockingly. "Who can blame them when they're the chosen one? There are always times when the referee can't see things."

……

boom!!!

The moment Su Yang's high-energy interview video was released, it caused a sensation across North America!

The media was in an uproar! Public opinion swept across all social media platforms like a tsunami!

Nike's public relations department was in a panic, mobilizing tens of thousands of online trolls and its own social media accounts overnight in an attempt to frantically whitewash the situation online.

"LeBron's physical attributes are historic! He naturally draws more fouls than others! The league changed the rules to protect the flow of the offense!"

But this time, neutral fans and casual fans weren't buying it!

"Bullshit! You just elbow someone the moment you exert force, and then the league changes the rules overnight to blame the defensive player for standing too upright? Do you think the whole world is blind?!"

"Su Yang is absolutely right! O'Neal and Barkley were targeted by the league, while James was artificially promoted by the league!"

Amidst the hysterical flame war between LeBron James fans and casual fans, the topic has become increasingly heated.

Soon, this debate about "rule bias" evolved into a perennial and enduring topic in American basketball:

If you put LeBron James in the 90s, a time without body hair and full of physical combat, could he still survive?

This topic immediately attracted the attention of countless retired legends.

The first to speak out was Dennis Rodman, the absolute rebounding machine of the former Bulls dynasty, known for his defense and unruly personality.

Outside a casino in Las Vegas, Rodman, cigar in mouth, smiled arrogantly as he answered reporters' questions.

"Defense against LeBron? Good heavens, that's so easy it's almost yawn-inducing!"

"He had absolutely no low-post back-to-the-basket skills, and no consistent mid-range jumper. In our era, I didn't even need to guard him closely. I'd just stand inside the free-throw line, watch him dribble outside, and tell him, 'Shoot, kid, if you dare come in, I'll break your ribs.'"

"Believe me, if he had faced the Bad Boys in the 90s, he would have been crying and asking the referee for a foul before the first quarter was even over."

Rodman's taunts had barely faded when...

Karl Malone, the legendary power forward from Utah, also chimed in during a golf program.

One of the strongest power forwards in NBA history touched his granite-like biceps and let out a disdainful snort:

"LeBron is a very lucky guy. The media these days is all about how freakish his physical abilities are, saying he's like a bulldozer."

"But how much worse are his bench press stats than mine were back then? His core strength is practically negligible in a real hand-to-hand combat situation!"

"If this were the era when hand-checking was allowed and interior players could use their bodies freely, his style of play—driving straight at the basket with the ball—would have been shut down long ago beyond the three-point line. If he dared to drive into the paint with his elbows like he did last night…"

Malone sneered, "He'll definitely be carried off the court on a stretcher. The current rules protect these spoiled brats."

Finally, Patrick Ewing, one of the four great centers of the 90s and the king of New York, also gave his evaluation in a podcast.

"LeBron's basketball skills are too rough. His footwork and shooting transitions would have made it difficult for him to survive under the defensive pressure of the 90s."

At this point, Ewing suddenly changed the subject, and a rare hint of humor appeared on his usually stern black face.

He spread his hands, looking completely bewildered, and complained to the camera:

"Actually, putting aside the tactics for now, the thing I don't understand the most is..."

"Why do the media and fans these days even steal my nickname and give it to him?"

Ewing pointed to his face and joked seriously, "I'm the 'gorilla' of New York, okay? He doesn't look like me at all!"

This interview, with its strong comedic elements and official self-deprecating humor, sent the entire American internet into a state of merriment.
