LeBron made his way to Arizona with his wife Savannah James to catch the Super Bowl.
When he was shown on the big screen he was booed of course.
LeBron took it all in stride and put a crown on his head to let the people know he is the KING.
What makes LeBron so special, and this record so incredible, is when we think of the best scorers ever we think of names like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Kareem, etc. Rarely if ever is LeBron James mentioned as an all time great scorer, and yet no NBA player has scored as many points as LeBron James, and won’t for a very very long time, possibly ever. When we compare LeBron to the greats, 9 times out of 10 we say “He’s more Magic than he is Jordan” due to his amazing passing ability and his psychic-like ability to read the court and opposing defenses, showing near superhuman instincts on where defenses are going to be and when. If anything he’s like Peyton Manning. A ruthless professor of the game, someone that knows everything that’s going to happen in a game before it happens. And yet, despite spending two decades calling him more of a passer than a scorer, here he is alone at the Mount Olympus of the NBA. LeBron’s greatest attribute is his longevity. Almost never injured, LeBron James is the most dependable player in NBA history, as for 20 years now he’s dominated the game, and to really put all this in perspective, let’s talk about the expectations he experienced just as a kid.
We first heard of LeBron James at the ripe old age of 15. I want you to take a second and think about what you were doing at 15 years old. For me I was cursing people out on Call Of Duty. LeBron James? Well he was leading his St Vincent St Mary team to a 25-0 record AS A FRESHMAN. He didn’t win player of the year in Ohio that year because freshmen were ineligible to win the award. You know, because freshmen are rarely even on their varsity teams in high school, but not this one. At this point LeBron was already preparing how to be a professional basketball player, studying Michael Jordan and how he rarely got rattled by questions, and always wore a suit and tie to games, he was preparing for the big time at FIFTEEN. At that age I was more focused on being hyped over the future Marvel movies as Iron Man came out the year before and teased “The Avengers Initiative”. However when LeBron was 15 and 16, he was preparing for the NBA. Danny Ainge, former Suns coach at the time and was just a couple years away from being the GM of the Boston Celtics, would even say if LeBron had entered the draft at that age he would still be the first pick in the NBA draft. As LeBron progressed through high school his games became must watch tv with tickets being sold for hundreds of dollars just to get a glimpse at this phenom. At 17 years old, Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated would write the cover story of a kid from Akron. The headline? THE CHOSEN ONE. At 17 years old we proclaimed this kid as the future face of basketball, LeBron would go on to be the most hyped teenage prospect in American Pro Sports history. Following his senior season, his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers would win the first pick in the draft and LeBron would rock that famous all white suit, and would change basketball forever.
