Su Yi: Just Stating the Facts

Whew!

"Damn, working overtime again until midnight. When will this ever end?"

Su Yi, a perfectly healthy young man in his prime, was stuck working overtime every single day.

He'd made money, even bought a house, but the monthly mortgage was a five-figure sum.

He didn't dare stop for a second, terrified of being replaced.

The work environment was too cutthroat now; one slip-up and you're fired.

If he lost this job, he'd be dead in the water.

Sigh, endless overtime, endless sleepless nights.

Every day, either working overtime or on his way to work overtime. Su Yi wondered if he wasn't working for the company—he was selling his life to it.

For others, clocking out meant life began. For him, clocking out meant switching locations to keep working.

Lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, he pondered life for a moment, then silently pulled out his phone, opened an app, and started scrolling.

This was the most comfortable moment of Su Yi's day.

"99+? What the hell?"

Seeing the notification showing 99+, Su Yi could hardly believe it.

He never posted updates, only had 32 followers. What was going on?

Without a second thought, Su Yi opened it and took a look.

Oh!

So it was about his comment last night, when he'd seen a LeBron Stan bragging that LeBron James's two championships with the Miami Heat were "leader" rings.

As a LeBron Hater, Su Yi had bluntly commented: "Dwyane Wade really got the short end—won two more rings, and his legacy still dropped."

After commenting, Su Yi hadn't bothered with it all day. Now, at night, he saw 99+.

He couldn't help but check what was being said:

Dunking While Riding James: "Shaq and Wade's championship can't even get into the Hall of Fame. Might as well be that Pistons title!"

Blue Sky Yesterday @Dunking While Riding James: "Then why did your LeBron come running to ride coattails?"

Dunking While Riding James @Blue Sky Yesterday: "He won 2 MVPs and 2 FMVPs. How come your so-called 'coattails' didn't get any?"

Blue Sky Yesterday @Dunking While Riding James: "You think you're the authority? Look at what the Heat organization says. Your LeBron was just the third option. Does FMVP prove you're the team leader? Then was Tony Parker the Spurs' leader in '07? Was Iguodala the Warriors' leader in '15?"

LeBron Stans and LeBron Haters were going at it like crazy.

Su Yi couldn't help but jump into the fray.

The LeBron Stans kept losing ground, until finally they didn't dare reply.

Su Yi chuckled to himself.

Truth be told, Su Yi hadn't started out as a LeBron Hater.

He'd watched the NBA since elementary school, all the way through college graduation. Then work and life took over, and he gradually had no time to watch.

Now he just scrolled his phone to see who won the championship this season.

So how did Su Yi become a LeBron Hater?

He simply repeated what LeBron James had said:

"I'm not leaving Cleveland—I'm taking my talents to Miami, and I'm going to bring Miami seven championships!"

"It's about playing brotherhood basketball—this is Miami basketball, everyone sacrifices!"

"Miami is the first super team made up of players—I've never played on a super team!"

"I'm switching to number 6. The league shouldn't let anyone wear 23 anymore. It's disrespectful to Jordan—Next season, I'm switching back to 23!"

"I only transferred to go home. Cleveland is where I belong—Irving is the best backcourt. That's why I came home. I'm never leaving again!"

"I'm the team leader. I'll take on more responsibility in the fourth quarter—In the final moments, I still trust my teammates!"

"The Lakers are the best place. I'll lead these young guys to a championship—No matter what trades the team makes, I only want Anthony Davis!"

"Flopping is shameful—Flopping is part of the game!"

"Those guys play dirty. The refs don't favor me—Physical contact is normal in the league!"

"When necessary, I can play center—I need a center to space the floor for me. I don't like brawling in the paint!"

"I'm like Wolverine—I recover fast, full of power—It's a long season. I'm really tired!"

"I've matured. I won't toss chalk anymore—Next season, I can't wait to bring back that ritual!"

"The league should give teams close to the playoffs a chance and add a play-in tournament—The person who created this play-in should be fired!"

He just repeated what LeBron James said, and the LeBron Stans called him a LeBron Hater.

Well, LeBron Hater it is, then.

Su Yi instantly turned into a LeBron hater.

"What's wrong, little hater? Life treating you badly?"

Back then, a certain LeBron Stan had sent him that private message.

He couldn't help but laugh. He really was exhausted from work, but his life was better than most people's—living in a multi-million-dollar house, driving a car worth hundreds of thousands.

So Su Yi sent that LeBron Stan photos of his house and car.

After that, the LeBron Stan never replied.

Su Yi chuckled and couldn't be bothered to deal with him anymore.

From then on, as a LeBron hater, whenever Su Yi scrolled past a video that wildly praised LeBron James—

Like calling him the GOAT—Su Yi would definitely hit the comments to state the facts!

And as time passed, the LeBron Hater Tribe grew fast, more and more people joining.

To be honest, the reason there were so many was LeBron James's own left-brain-right-brain contradictions.

In truth, most so-called LeBron haters weren't really hating—they were just stating facts.

Like this GOAT thing. Does he deserve it?

Running east and west, you'd better at least win eight or ten championships before you start bragging and have some credibility.

But you've only got four rings, and you still have the nerve to call yourself the GOAT!

Don't even compare him to Basketball God Jordan—he can't even measure up to his contemporaries like Kobe, Tim Duncan, Big Shark O'Neal, or Stephen Curry!

What does he have to compete with Basketball God Jordan?

The funniest thing was during a regular season game against the Orlando Magic. A Magic bench player said to LeBron James, "Go win a real championship!"

The moment those words left his mouth, LeBron James flew into a rage!

To be honest, if that Orlando Magic bench player had said that to Kobe, Tim Duncan, Big Shark O'Neal, or Stephen Curry, they wouldn't have batted an eye.

They'd have just laughed it off!

Because they had nothing to be insecure about!

LeBron James, on the other hand, knew exactly how his championships came to be, which was why he flew into such a rage.

"Funny, funny. Another joy brought by a LeBron Stan!"

Su Yi was about to put down his phone when he suddenly got another private message.

Probably another LeBron Stan.

Su Yi tapped to open it. It read: "Little hater, why talk so much? If you're so good, you go do it!"

Su Yi replied without a second thought: "Nonsense. If I could, I definitely would. If I had LeBron James's physique, I'd definitely win more championships than he has!"

Su Yi went back and forth with that LeBron Stan for over half an hour before it ended.

After it was over, Su Yi put down his phone, opened his laptop, and got back to work!

The next day, Su Yi slowly opened his eyes, completely dumbfounded.
