Reborn: The Godfather of Basketball

When a failed trust-fund kid from 2024 wakes up hungover, he finds himself back in Los Angeles in 2009. That year, Stephen Curry is still mocked for his “glass ankles,” James Harden’s beard hasn’t filled in yet, Paul George has yet to make a name for himself, and Kawhi Leonard is just a quiet high schooler. That year, the league’s spotlight belongs to Kobe’s Lakers dynasty and the Heat’s Big Three, who are about to join forces. And Lin Feng, a man with billions to his name who squandered it all in his past life, chooses a completely different path this time around. With memories of the next fifteen years at his fingertips, he is a “basketball god” walking among men! “Trading the first pick for the second and third? He’s crazy!” “Trading for a bunch of role players and getting rid of every star? He’s tanking!” “Using a lottery pick on an unknown kid who didn’t even attend the combine? This is money laundering!” Amid the world’s mockery and skepticism, Lin Feng buys the league’s worst team, the Los Angeles Clippers, and launches a masterful campaign to “defy fate and change his destiny.” When Stephen Curry, James Harden, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Draymond Green, and other future MVPs and cornerstones of a dynasty inexplicably converge on the other side of the City of Angels, the whole world trembles! The purple-and-gold Lakers gradually lose their shine, and the Heat’s Big Three have their ambitions mercilessly crushed. An unprecedentedly fearsome juggernaut rises in Los Angeles!
