Reggie Miller was Su Xi's former teammate. Su Xi had led him to two championships, remedying the biggest regret of his career. Even though ESPN wanted him to be a little more "objective," he truly couldn't be.
Larry Brown, sitting next to him, was quite objective. He said, "The game has just begun. Little Sheep Su Xi's individual scoring can't change their overall disadvantage. They have no inside scoring, and they'll have a hard time stopping the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are coming off a series of upsets. The Cavaliers' morale is at its peak right now, while the Knicks' fighting strength, affected by the suspensions, is still an unknown."
Larry Brown spoke with confidence, and his arguments were always well-reasoned. Plus, with his high status in the sport, what he said was very persuasive to most people.
Except when it came to games involving Su Xi.
