Can "Gun King" Morant become the face of the league again?
Personally, I think there is a certain probability, but it is very small.
Has there ever been a scandal in history that has counterattacked and become the face of the alliance?
This one really is, it's superstar Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant was once a hot young man in the league, and former NBA president Stern planned to train him to be the face of the league.
However, it was at this time that the Eagle County Incident broke out. It is reported that in the summer of 2003, Bryant flew to Eagle County, Colorado to undergo knee surgery. A front desk attendant named Katelyn Faber (19) had accompanied Bryant on a tour of the hotel where he was staying. After that, she took to court to indict Kobe Bryant.
In the end, Bryant publicly apologized, the woman withdrew the lawsuit, and the civil lawsuit ended in an out-of-court settlement.
After the outbreak of the Eagle County incident, Kobe Bryant's reputation was discredited, the NBA league was furious, and many commercial endorsements announced the termination of the contract, and everyone was unwilling to wade into this troubled water.
How did Kobe Bryant return to the front of the league?
He played a super personal peak, and even played a great performance of 81 points in a single game, becoming the strongest in the league, winning the favor of the league and the respect of the juniors.
So is it possible for Morant to play Kobe's dominance after that?
Visual inspection is highly unlikely.
"The King of Guns" does not surpass the strength of other young people in the middle and new generations of talents. And Jokic, Embiid, Antetokounmpo, Tatum, Doncic, and Alexander are all significantly better than the gunners, and Booker, Trae Young, Mitchell and Morant are about the same.
In such a fiercely competitive environment, he also caused two gun-toting incidents of a bad nature, and it is unlikely that the alliance will support him again.
