NBA: Starting as the Strongest 3-and-D Player

Overall, it's well-written, but there are a few things to complain about. After reading the latest chapter, I still don't know which Lakers jersey number the character is wearing. Also, the nickname is just too silly; who would give someone the nickname "Heavenly Emperor"? It's so awkward you could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment out of it.

No, the author has the skill of a top-tier basketball player, yet he's relegated to being Kobe's backup. Is the protagonist out of his mind? I've posted so many suggestions, and not a single one has been replied to. 😆

I've already given up on this book. But I still stand by what I said: if an Asian person doesn't stay in Los Angeles, how can they become a leader anywhere else? Only the Democratic Party's stronghold can accept Asians. The key reason why the Lakers are a good fit for the protagonist is that they know and have experienced the power of money. Therefore, the Lakers will submit to money, and the protagonist will be the biggest cash cow in the NBA.

Back in 2008, the concept of 3-and-D players didn't really exist. And the small-ball era wasn't coming for another four or five years. It was an era when even Klay Thompson wasn't popular. Most importantly, if you were teammates with Kobe (#24), how much ball possession would you actually get? Were you expecting Kobe to switch to point guard? Or for Gasol to become a forward?

Hopefully, they won't give him dribbling and penetration skills too quickly, otherwise, with Iverson and Thompson, they'll dominate everyone at positions one through three, and small forwards and centers will be able to outmaneuver their opponents. If they're invincible, it'll be hard to write a story.

Peak Klay Thompson + unstoppable pull-up jumper + death grip = everyone else is just vying for second place.

The recent drafts and player acquisitions are truly disgusting. What were they thinking, going to the Bulls to compete with Rose for the top spot? Rose is a local; unless he's a bust, who can take him? And DeAndre Jordan and P. J. Tucker are both terrible. They might as well trade with the Nets for Carter. Brook Lopez, Allianz, the main character, Harris. Add another 3-and-D player. That would be a championship-caliber roster.

It's pointless. Being on the same team as Kobe will only make me look like a lackey, which is beneath me. Even after all these years, Kobe's three-peat is still being talked about: people say it's not very valuable because he was playing with Shaq, and that the Lakers still won three championships without Kobe.

I don't quite agree that the main character's dad isn't Kobe Bryant 😋

Ignore the haters. The Lakers are actually a great team. Everyone knows the players, Los Angeles has many stars, making off-court interactions easy to write about, the West Coast is close to China, Kobe is getting older and will likely pass the torch, and big cities have high commercial value. What good would it do to be the leader of a small team?
