During his past career as president, David Stern has witnessed the rise of many dazzling stars.
Among them, there is Michael Jordan, who changed people's perception of basketball as soon as he entered the league; The Dream - Olajuwon, who led the Rockets back to the playoffs with an average of "20+10" in his rookie season; Vince Carter, who was hailed as a "Demigod" not long after his debut; and Tim Duncan, who started at the peak...
But none of them, during their rookie season, performed as explosively as Qin Yue this year.
Rookie scored 71 points in a single game.
Moreover, it happened against the backdrop of a battle between the Warriors and Lakers, regrettably... Even someone as knowledgeable as Stern couldn't find an accurate adjective from his lexicon to specifically describe Qin Yue tonight.
Stern can even foresee in advance the huge controversy and protests from the entire Bay Area that will inevitably arise when the league awards the NBA regular season honors this year.
