Chapter 647: Chapter 469: The Existence Yu Fei Cannot Believe (Unity) Chapter 647: Chapter 469: The Existence Yu Fei Cannot Believe (Unity) Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty-Nine: Yu Fei Doesn’t Believe in the Impossible
During his Hall of Fame speech, Jordan openly denied Yu Fei and was directly rebutted by Yu Fei in an interview afterward, which was dubbed the “Hall of Fame Explosion.”

However, as the parties involved, Jordan received more criticism.

Though enemies with Yu Fei, Jordan’s hostility at a venue meant for celebration, even if he didn’t accept congratulations, was inappropriate.

Not to mention, Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech, traditionally a place themed around “love and peace,” saw him settling scores with past opponents one after another, as if to put a final seal on his own victory.

His remarks were already unpleasant, let alone intensifying the conflict with Yu Fei right there on the spot.

“Michael Jordan tried to prove once again in his Hall of Fame speech that he’s still a pathologically competitive person. But in reality, we only saw that he is sick.” said the Seattle Times harshly the next day.

Yu Fei was not surprised by Jordan’s vindictive speech recounting past opponents.

That’s just the kind of person he is.

He knew this from watching “The Last Dance” in his previous life.

What were people expecting before “The Last Dance” aired? A comprehensive, multi-dimensional display of the ’98 Bulls’ insider stories.

If you think the internal conflicts and frictions between champions and burgeoning talents during the end days of the Warriors Dynasty were thrilling or the entanglements in the OK Lakers were as cliche as a soap opera, then you would find those scenes in that year’s Bulls.

The NBA Entertainment Division filmed the Bulls throughout that year, possessing all the material.

However, the result was still a mediocre documentary with Jordan as the unchallenged protagonist. He arrogantly mocked all his rivals in the documentary, including his boss–complaining that his boss dismantled the team after 1998, not giving him the chance to fight for a four-peat in 1999.

That’s just who he is, almost infinitely self-centered.

However, that doesn’t mean Yu Fei accepted what he said at the end.

It seems, over the years, he had been too busy dealing with current players and had neglected this former mogul hiding behind the scenes.

Now, his total championships were tied with Jordan’s.

Jordan’s “Greatest of All Time” status was precarious, so he used the Hall of Fame speech to fight for the right to define “dynasty.”

He tried to degrade the “empire” narrative promoted by Yu Fei’s camp to selfish individualism, thus undermining Yu Fei’s honor.

This tactic isn’t uncommon in media debates, but for the person involved to tear into it personally is rather shocking.

This made Yu Fei realize that he had been discussing Jordan too infrequently.

Speaking of dark spots, though his professional career was sealed and as dark as could be, Coach Dan’s dismal management career continued to produce low-lights, with more than ten times as many scandals.

Yu Fei was a man of action.

Back at the hotel, he called Quentin DiMio: “I want to do an interview.”

DiMio was the CEO of his entertainment company, responsible not only for marketing and public opinion guidance but also for arranging his entertainment schedule.

“Sports media or entertainment media?” DiMio asked.

“Entertainment media, of course,” replied Yu Fei, “the more people who watch, the better.”

DiMio immediately secured a slot for Yu Fei on NBC’s “Conan O’Brien Tonight Show.”

Since June of that year, Conan O’Brien had replaced Jay Leno as the host of “The Tonight Show,” a long-standing hit show that changed its lead, which was both good and bad for the audience. The novelty came and went quickly, and the viewership of “The Tonight Show” under Conan had been declining since autumn.

When Yu Fei indicated that he wanted to create some controversy on the show, Conan’s eyes lit up.

The only thing he worried about was the guest not wanting controversy.

So, they designed a few clever segments, ultimately allowing Yu Fei to make this statement in front of millions of viewers: “Anyone who pays attention to basketball definitely knows Elgin Baylor. Who is Elgin? He runs the Clippers, but now we only know him as the NBA’s most unsuccessful GM, yet he is also one of the most outstanding players in NBA history. Why is that? Because his failures in managing the team are so deeply ingrained, just like how Nicolas Cage was once the best actor of his generation, but now every movie he makes tarnishes his historical stature.”

“Now, I introduce to you a person, considered by many as the best player in history, but who has achieved nothing since retiring, bringing failure to every place he has gone. He once scorned the work of a GM and was at odds with the GM who helped him become a top player. Yet, it turns out this man, despite his numerous successes, couldn’t even assemble a roster that could make it to the playoffs. I wonder, how long will it take for us to view him as we view Elgin?”

In this episode, Yu Fei showcased true entertainment, humor, and seriousness.

He could take a joke, catch Conan’s cues, and boldly threw out two major controversial statements.

NBC quickly edited this episode and started hyping it to the public just ten days after filming was completed.

“Whether you like basketball or not, Frye can make you laugh out loud.”
