LeBron is the best player I've faced to this point in my life, and I consider it a great honor to play against him. While he never did get a chance to score, I feel like the match was more for fun than competition. Sadly, the fans here don't think the same thing.
They were quiet the entire game, and the only one to vocalize their support for me was Ellie. She'll always be on my side, and I'm grateful she's in my life the way she is. Without her, I doubt that anything would be going as smoothly as it is in my life. She makes sure things are smooth for me.
I exit the court and head for Ellie. "You want to get out of here and head to the four seasons? The crowd is getting too big for this small little park." She nods her head emphatically, and I smile. I grab my things, and we make out way towards the limo.
Ignoring the questions and cameras in our faces. I open the door for her, and she gets in. I follow, and I enjoy the room in the limo. "Take us to the Four Seasons, please." The limo driver nods his head and closes the window that he uses to communicate with us.
I watch the suburban area disappear and turn into an urban landscape. I look at Ellie and see her giant smile. "I'm so proud of you! You were amazing like you always are!" I'm glad I can give her something to be proud of. I wonder what the internet is looking like after those games I played. I pull out my phone, and I open the Twitter app.
I can already see my Twitter handle trending from being tagged in so many things. I see the top posts about me, and they're all from notable talk shows. Stephen A. Smith has Tweeted and the casts of Undisputed and The Jump. I almost completely forgot about the notification from the system, and I open it.

I had no idea what the mission was when I first got it cause I ignored it. I think that worked in my favor. I open the system to see the new badge and its description.

This badge is absolutely overpowered, and it synergizes with so many of my other badges. I keep getting better and better. However, a single player can't beat an entire team. An NBA team that is. There are legendary scorers in the NBA today, and the one at the top at this moment is Giannis.
He's 31 years old, but he's still in his prime, and he has a few years until he's not anymore. Other names have really blown up, like Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, and LaMelo Ball. They're stars in the league. The ones at the top of the food chain are Joel Embiid, Jokic, and Anthony Davis.
There is a big rivalry between the big men right now. All of them are battling it out on the court and off the court. The top 5 in the league right now are Giannis, AD, Joel Embiid, Jokic, and Ja Morant. Not in this particular order. Just the top 5, but out of all of them. I think the best is AD. He can shoot just a bit better than the rest. Other than Ja Morant, he lacks their size, though.
