Why do black players like Iverson and Harden like to wear big chains? There is still a big gap between the personal dressing styles of NBA players, but the only constant is their love for the big gold chain. Why do black players like Iverson and Harden like to wear big gold chains? First of all, this is a tradition. What you can't get is the most precious. For black players, gold medals used to be hard to get. Perhaps because of this, black players are crazy about gold jewelry, and even players like Jordan and James can't avoid it.
The second is the issue of face. When every player in the league goes out wearing a big gold chain, don't you have the guts to wear one? Have you noticed that harel, Harden's younger brother, is short of money, but his mouth is watering at the sight of the big gold chain? In the end, Harden bought the gold chain and gave it to harel with a wave of his hand, from which we can also see the importance of a big gold chain to the face of black players.
Finally, the big gold chain maintains its value. Most NBA players are not as good as Jordan, Kobe and James in business and investment. According to the data released by NBA, 60% of NBA players will encounter bankruptcy crisis within five years of retirement. At this time, the big gold chain that was once used to make players look beautiful played a life-saving role. Compared with luxury houses, luxury cars are not easy to sell and their value falls. These jewels and big gold chains have become the last guarantee for players, and of course, they are also the best tools they face before being sold.
Recently, Master Huo, who was still immersed in the joy of winning the championship for the first time, started the whole activity again. He and Pope took the O 'Brien Cup to a gathering of online celebrity basketball bloggers (white imitators). It seems that shaquille O 'Neill's taunts didn't work a few days ago, and Master Huo was really happy.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a big coffee who attended the party. He is Iverson. A pullover sweater is slightly low-key, which hides the fat figure well, but the big gold chain around the neck is inevitably dazzling. This is not the first time I have seen black players wearing gold and silver. Like they like it?
In fact, this is the cultural difference. There are three main types of black Americans who like to wear gold chains: stars, gangsters and young people. The early golden chain appeared in black rappers and street hip-hop culture, which was related to black gangs to some extent. If you have seen some movies and TV works of early American black gangs, you can always see some social people wearing flat hats, big gold chains and diamond earrings.
With the popularity of this street culture in the United States, exaggerated style has also become the forefront of fashion, sweeping the United States, and fashion circles and young people have followed suit. Moreover, we must know that many players and stars in the NBA are from the bottom and have certain connections with gangs. It is normal to have such cultural influence.
Besides, black people are crazy about gold ornaments, most of them are, which is related to face and status. Especially in the social environment like the United States, rich blacks want to prove their status, and it is inevitable that many people like to show off their wealth, so as to achieve vanity satisfaction and self-worth status recognition.
However, I think there is another important reason, that is, the big gold chain maintains its value. Everyone knows that NBA players are high-paying occupations, but many players will face bankruptcy after retirement. I won't say why here, I think everyone is very clear.
In the face of bankruptcy, gold has become a lifeline, especially in today's stable society, the price of gold must be relatively stable.
The Ball is the same, seeking common ground while reserving differences. I am the god on the right hand side.
