<h4>Chapter 436 End of Time at the University 8</h4>


    "I’m not saying that we have to abandon a good sry or get good statistics if you could have a good sry, but not the highest possible sry, y in a good team, but without you being the main star of that team."


    "Would you be on the starting team and also have the recognition of the fans, almost like it happened with the Tar Heels team, but with a good sry too, would you ept ying on such a team to win one or more NBA titles?"


    Jake thought that maybe in the future if he became an NBA star and one of the best NBA yers he could have enough influence to organize a team just as LeBron James can do to win his first NBA title.


    But for him to think about doing something like that he had to know if Antawn and Vince would ept ying on the same team as him in this situation, if they said that earning higher sries or being the best yers on the team was more important Jake would have to give up making one team like that.


    "For sure, if I were to win my first NBA title I would ept to receive a lower sry and not be the main yer on the team since I had many minutes of y in the games of the season."


    "I would also ept it, my dream in the NBA first is to win a championship and then to be an MVP, but being an MVP is easier ying on one of the best teams in the NBA, my dream at the end of my career is to enter the hall fame, and winning an NBA title is important to achieve that."


    Jake was overjoyed to hear Vince and Antawn epting his idea, the two were just talking without thinking because something like that would be hard to imagine in the future of the NBA, but Jake would remember said and could use this conversation to call them to y on his team in the NBA if it were possible in the future.


    If Jake really managed to win 3 NBA titles with the Lakers’ team as he thought, he certainly wouldn’t be as criticized as LeBron James was for making a team that could win the NBA title.


    The biggest challenge Jake would have that LeBron James didn’t have would be that for the next 12 years it would be difficult to find a team that could pay the sries of yers like him, Jamison, Carter and other yers that would be needed to win the NBA title, even if Jake epted to receive a sry much lower than he deserved.


    "So who knows in the future in the three of us we could y together in an NBA team and win at least one NBA title with our team, surely with all three of us we could have a strong team to win the NBA title."


    Carter and Jamison justughed as if they didn’t believe it would be possible, the NBA currently had 29 teams and they knew it was the teams that chose the yers and also had the restriction on the yers’ sries.


    So they just thought about ying on the best teams and if they could be NBA stars they would try to y on a better team that could win the NBA title, but they didn’t think they could y together again unless it was all-star game.


    They kept talking for a while and Jake said he would go to Australia after school ended and so they would only see each other again on the night of the NBA draft, Jake also said he thought the three could be among the first 5 draft choices and theyughed again.


    After Jake was able to chat with all of his friends and his mother as well, Jake finally set up an interview with ESPN who asked to speak to him about the NCAA tournament win and the individual prizes he had won.


    Jake epted the ESPN interview because he liked the channel more and he also liked sports Illustrated, but as he received no contact from the magazine he decided to ept the ESPN invitation.


    A reporter would speak to Jake at a hotel he chose because Jake thought it would not be appropriate to do this interview at the university and it was not so important for Jake to go to ESPN headquarters to be interviewed.


    Jake naturally warned that he would not answer any questions that could adversely affect his career and ESPN did not want to do something like that and damage their rtionship with Jake who could be an NBA star in the future.


    "Good afternoon, Jake Smith, thanks for the interview, I’m going to ask you some questions and if you don’t want to answer any questions, that question will be cut in the edit, you can rest easy and think about it."


    "OK Alright."


    "Jake, this season the Tar Heels team that you were ying had one of the best seasons in history after the Tar Heels team won the ACC tournament and the NCAA tournamentst season."


    "The Tar Heels team managed to win the ACC tournament and the NCAA tournament again this season and without losing any games and thus achieving a record for a sequence of 64 victories, what do you think about that?"


    "I am certainly very happy and satisfied with this, our team has always trained a lot and we have also worked hard to get the win, fortunately, we managed to win 64 straight games and as a result, we won the NCAA tournament twice in a row."


    "It’s hard to exin, we know that our team achieved something historic that few teams in the history of the NCAA tournament have achieved, and we won the Kentucky Wildcats team twice that reached the final in three straight years and won in 1996."


    "It shows that our team yed well and we faced some of the best college basketball teams in the past few years to be able to win this NCAA tournament twice."


    "I see, and you have managed to win almost all of the individual awards in those two seasons that you have yed on the Tar Heels team, including the Naismith College yer of the Year award, you are the third yer in history to achieve this, what do you think about it?"


    "I can only say that this is a great honor, in those years there were many yers who could have won this award besides me,st season Tim Duncan deserved to win that award and this season my teammate Antawn Jamison deserved to win that award."


    "Thinking about it makes me feel even more honored to win this prize knowing that so many yers could win this prize too, I can say that it was thanks to my teammates and my coaches that I achieved this."


    "In two years as a yer at College, you have managed to break many records, some per season and other records that other yers have made ying for 3 or 4 years."


    "You broke the record for most points made in a season this season by making 1345 points, you are the forty-seventh with the most points in your ying career with 2515 points."


    "You are fourth in the average of points per game in a season with 35.4 points and the second in the average of points per game in the career with 33.9 points, the first with more assists in a season with 407 assists, and the fourteenth most assisting career with 780 assists."


    "You are the fourth average of assists per game in a season with 10.7 assists, you are the second average of assists per game in your career with 10.5 assists, you are the first in steals per season with 346 steals that is more than double the runner-up has."


    "You are the first with the most steals in the career with 563 steals, you are the yer with the highest average steals per game in a season with 9.1 steals, and you are also the first with the highest average steals per game in the career with 7.6 steals."


    "These are just some of your statistics people who broke records in your two seasons at College, what do you think about those records and what do you think knowing that if you y for another season at College you could be the first in all of those statistics?"


    "I honestly didn’t know about all those records, thanks for telling me a few things that I was able to achieve in my two seasons on the Tar Heels team."


    "I can only say that I am very proud to see these records that I achieved in two seasons, to be first in some of them and to be at least in the top 100 in several of them is something that any college yer would want."


    "Seeing that I see that I can leave the Tar Heels team that gave me the opportunity to achieve these things with my teammates with pride in what I did in my time at the university."


    "Just like you said if I stayed a season or two on the Tar Heels team I could break all those records, but in fact, my goal was never to break those records, I always yed the best I could to help the Tar Heels team to win and that’s how we managed to win 2 NCAA tournament."


    "So I would never stay at the university just thinking about breaking more individual records, if I stayed it would be to try to help the Tar Heels team win another NCAA tournament and if I managed to break the records it would be a bonus."


    Jake had thought of all the answers he could give in this interview in questions that could harm him if he answered wrong, none of that was really a lie and he just couldn’t tell the real reason he was going to leave university that would be to win 3 NBA title in theing seasons.


    "Can you tell the Tar Heels team fans why you decided to leave university this year to enter the NBA draft?"


    "I think I had two great seasons ying on the Tar Heels team with my teammates, I had two great coaches in that time and I was able to win two ACC tournaments and two NCAA tournaments in addition to getting my team a 64 win streak."


    "I also achieved a lot of individual records and awards and I was fortunate to achieve more than many yers who yed 4 years at College basketball."
