Former NBA star Lei Allen updated his personal social media, posted his jersey wall, and posted a post to express his thoughts.
"Every jersey tells a story. Behind each one is surgery, victory, failure, sleepless night, losing streak, winning streak, sneakers, trades, teammates, coaches, friends, and the entire city. As I look back at the jerseys I have worn, I said to myself, 'What a wonderful journey!'
"To be honest, it's not easy. There were blackspots at that time, and now there are blackspots. But none of this matters--because I put in the effort. This is the secret: when you give everything, it doesn’t matter what others say. What’s important is that you stand up not only for yourself, but for your teammates, but for every day! This kind of life cannot be without struggle. It is these adversities that create the light in us. One day, when you look back on your achievements, you will realize how many difficulties you have overcome. At that moment, emotions will surge. At that moment, a sense of pride arose. No one can take away your influence on the sport, nor your influence on the people who support you.
"Yes, there are many things to complain about in life, but the practical people will only move forward bravely and refuse to let difficulties stop them. Stop complaining. Stop making excuses. It's too hot outside? The gym is too cold? Training too early? It doesn't matter. Just do it. Stand up and give it all. Because if you put in your efforts - really give it all - one day, when you look back on your life's achievements, you will be filled with tears and your heart is full of pride. It will bring you joy and satisfaction beyond imagination. It's not luck. It's not talent. It's hard work!" Ray Allen wrote.
