But in fact, this conclusion is a fallacy. Anyone who understands Gilbert Jr.'s position in Disney would not make such a statement.

Little Gilbert didn't care. These harmless slanders would not affect him at all.

Besides, he is already Disney's largest individual shareholder, and Disney has almost reached the point of changing his last name to Landrini, so there is nothing Disney is afraid of.

In addition to preparing for "Cyberpunk 2077: Prologue", Gilbert Jr. also flew to the UK to watch an Arsenal game.

This year, Arsenal defeated Real Madrid 3-1 in the Champions League final and won the third Champions League title since Gilbert took over Arsenal.

Gilbert Jr. has been elected the best boss in the Premier League for several consecutive years. Unlike the Manchester United boss who expects the team to make a profit, he is really willing to invest money.

With his support, Professor Wenger waved money in the transfer market every year to chase stars, making Ferguson of Manchester United next door jealous.

But soon Ferguson was no longer jealous. After the end of the season, Ferguson announced his retirement, ending his coaching career at Manchester United.

As soon as Ferguson left, Professor Wenger suddenly felt that the Premier League was a bit boring.

However, he is still some distance away from retirement, so he wants to continue to lead Arsenal to the championship.

By the way, this year's NBA champion is the Heat. The Thunder's young team is feeling the atmosphere of the finals for the first time and lacks experience.

In addition, the referee blew the whistle hard, so the opposing Heat team had no problem with the referee's help.

Especially the backup center Joel Anthony in the Heat lineup, who directly turned the basketball game into a fighting game.

Before the crucial Game 4, the Thunder led the series by a big score of 2 to 1. As long as they won Game 4, victory would be in sight.

But in Game 4, Joel Anthony was the X-factor.

In the crucial second quarter, the Thunder were still leading by 8 points. With seven minutes left in the game, Joel Anthony first used his knee to knock Stephen Curry, who was breaking through for a layup, out of the sideline during the defensive round.

Afterwards, Curry went back to the locker room for a check-up. He was not as healthy as Westbrook and never returned to the court.

Later, in another offensive round, Joel Anthony elbowed Ibaka, the Thunder's inside defensive stopper, so hard that his nose was crooked.

Westbrook impulsively protected his teammates and confronted Joel Anthony, and then both of them were given two technical fouls and were directly ejected from the game.

Without Curry, Ibaka, Westbrook and others, Kevin Durant was unable to carry the team alone, the morale of the Thunder team was also affected, and they eventually lost the finals.

The G4 match caused a huge uproar and even became a hot search in the United States.

As early as last year, Gilbert Jr. angrily criticized the league referees and the league president because of the referee's penalty scale. Although they later expressed their reconciliation, the league still intervened in the direction of the game through the referees on such an important stage as the finals.

After the Game 4, Gilbert Jr. immediately posted a post to criticize the referee: "NBA referees should get their eyes treated or receive some basic basketball knowledge and skills training.

At least 32 of LeBron James' 20 points came from traveling, but the referees turned a blind eye.

Joel Anthony should have been kicked off the court long ago after committing two dirty fouls, but the referee only gave him a normal foul. Later, he was kicked out because the conflict escalated, and Westbrook was also kicked out.

I just want to ask, what is the point of manipulating the finals like this?

Is it because the Big Three must win a championship that we can ignore the fairness and justice of sports competitions? "

Subsequently, Gilbert Jr. received a fine of $50,000, but as a media tycoon, he would not resort to such means and simply used the media to put pressure on him.

For a time, even though the Heat defeated the Thunder 4-2 to win the championship and LeBron James got what he wanted, he also became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.

The highlights of LeBron James' traveling scores in the finals were circulated all over the Internet, and for a time LeBron James' image was greatly damaged.

LeBron James is the face of Nike that Nike has worked hard to create, so of course they can't let his reputation ruin like this.

So Nike mobilized a large number of so-called basketball experts to speak for LeBron James. If the history of the United States and basketball had not been so short, LeBron James would have become a rare player in a thousand years.

But Nike is a sportswear company, not a media company. Under the media attack, LeBron James's weak nature, despite his seemingly strong appearance, was soon exposed, and an overwhelming outcry was raised online.

The Heat gained nothing from winning the championship and were spurned by fans across the United States and around the world. It was such a loss.

Seeing that public opinion had almost reached a consensus, Gilbert Jr. called David Stern again.

“David, how did you promise last time?”

David Stern knew he was in the wrong, and the Heat's Big Three was originally the result of his tacit approval. But who would have thought that LeBron James was such a hopeless case that it was still so difficult for him to win the championship even with the Big Three.

If it weren't for the referee's help, the championship would have already belonged to the Thunder.

Either Dwyane Wade or Bosh could have won a championship for Kobe, but LeBron James has two, and it's still so difficult.

After what happened, David Stern knew he couldn't escape this disaster.

"Little Gilbert, I'm going to retire. This is my last job before I retire."

"So you do this kind of lousy work and look at the public opinion outside. Do you think it is good for the image of the NBA?"

Facing Gilbert's questioning, David Stern was speechless. Although it is said that the current public opinion environment in the NBA is mostly the result of Gilbert's manipulation.

But then again, if the league didn't manipulate the games, wouldn't this happen?
David Stern sighed and said, "I will resign to put this matter to rest."

"Resign, resign, resign? You were going to retire a long time ago. Are you trying to avoid your responsibilities and pass the buck to someone else?"

Gilbert Jr.'s tone turned serious: "You are not allowed to resign. Solve this matter for me, otherwise we will see what will happen next season.

I can afford to pay for the Thunder, but can you tolerate the NBA becoming a second-rate league? "

This is indeed not possible. David Stern has worked hard to make the NBA one of the four major leagues in North America, and it has a huge market overseas.

But if incidents like this one happen again in the finals, the brand value of the NBA will decline.

You have to know that the existing NBA broadcasting agreement is about to expire. When negotiating a new broadcasting contract, considering the image of the NBA, it is uncertain what price to offer.

David Stern had no doubt that Gilbert Jr. could do it.

Young Gilbert is not even afraid of Wall Street, so how could he be afraid of a small NBA? How much money does the NBA have?

David Stern quickly responded to the finals incident, saying that the finals were rare, unbelievable and shocking.

The referee team responsible for the finals has resigned, and the NBA will tighten the penalty rules next season, especially for flagrant fouls and traveling, which will be strictly whistled.

There is no need to say who this rule change is aimed at.

Except for the owner of the Miami Heat, all other NBA owners expressed their support.

Anyway, LeBron James is not on our team, so it's a good opportunity to see what kind of performance LeBron James can achieve if he can't travel.

After this incident, little Gilbert successfully became the person that James fans hated the most.

However, little Gilbert was someone they could not afford to offend.

Because the number of Gilbert Jr.'s fans is much greater than the number of James' fans, many James fans are also Gilbert Jr.'s fans, and they all expressed their support for Gilbert Jr.'s views.

LeBron James fainted in the toilet crying. He felt that something was wrong and the story was not going to turn out this way.

It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to correct the course of history. (End of this chapter)
