It is worth mentioning that if James can still get 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists per game in the regular season next season, he will tie Robertson, a famous player, and rank first in NBA history.
In fact, apart from the achievements made in the NBA, James has also done a good job in public image, and it is rare to hear James make inappropriate remarks in response to reporters' interviews.
Not only that, whenever the NBA changes, James often stands up and speaks out for the first time, and finally succeeds in gaining support from the outside world. In the 219 Morey controversy, James left a good impression on many fans. However, James, who has always been famous for his rigor, has made two controversial remarks in a row this season, and his behavior of reneging on his words has caused him to set off a heated discussion.
The first controversy occurred during James' convalescence. At that time, he publicly spoke out in an interview about the NBA play-offs, thinking that the person who designed the play-off system should be fired by the league.
This remark was directly questioned by the outside world, and some media even moved out of the news on March 26th, 22, when James suggested that the league compete for the last playoff spot in the East and West in the form of play-offs.
The second controversy happened at the end of this season's regular season. James expressed his dissatisfaction with the eagle striker Solomon Hill who hurt his ankle in the game. "At that time, an adult jumped on my leg in order to grab the ball." James said.
It is understood that James still hates that scene until now. In his eyes, if there was no accident, he wouldn't have to spend seven weeks to recover.
It's very similar to the first story. Some media dug up the news on May 25th, 215. During the Cavaliers' game against the Hawks, Della Vedova made a big move, and coval suffered a severe sprain of his right ankle.
According to reporter Chris, Della Vedova sent an apology message to coval, but it didn't seem to be forgiven. Faced with the pressure of public opinion, James, who was still playing for the Cavaliers at that time, chose to speak out for the players, saying that Della Vedova, who defended seriously, should not be given a bad reputation.
James's two consecutive verbal inconsistencies inevitably plunged him into the whirlpool of public opinion. However, calm down and look at these two speeches. James's starting point is that the Lakers' playoff prospects have changed greatly. He just wants to help the Lakers defend their title successfully, and this task makes him feel pressure.
Imagine that if James hadn't suffered an ankle injury, he wouldn't say that the Lakers would be in the top four in the West, but he would probably get rid of the additional divisions.
On the other hand, if the NBA doesn't set up play-offs, even if the Lakers encounter a wave of injuries, they don't have to take risks to play play play-offs nowadays. It is said that no NBA team dares to say that they will win 1% in a game system that decides the outcome. The more he wants to help the Lakers defend their title, the more pressure James puts on himself. The 36-year-old man's strong desire for competition has created this situation.
The opponent of the Lakers' play-off is the Warriors led by Curry. What do you think is James' chance of winning, or where can the Lakers go in the playoffs this year? Welcome to leave a message in the comments section below. Thank you for reading and paying attention.
