After Michael Jordan, there hasn't been a real legendary superstar in NBA. Kobe was once considered as the successor of the "flying man", but now? Kobe can't even lead the Lakers to the playoffs. But two seasons ago, a new person came into our sight. He was lebron james, a high school student. As the number one scholar, "Little Emperor" received much attention in high school, but obviously he still has a long way to go from Jordan.
High school basketball gave him the simplest happiness.
Lebron james is regarded as one of the greatest high school students' stars in history. He led Saint Vincent-Saint Mary High School to win the Ohio championship three times. In the last season of high school, he averaged 3 1.6 points and 9.6 rebounds, and won the American high school player of the year. In addition, LeBron James participated in the National High School All-Star Game three times and was elected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) three times. His team won the first two times. In the last time, although his team lost, his two pairs-34 points and 65,438+02 rebounds-left a deep impression on Michael Jordan who went to the scene to watch the game.
Lebron james still remembers that when he first entered high school, he was just an ordinary boy who liked to chew his fingers. In this regard, LeBron James said: "Jordan likes to show his tongue when he makes a layup, and I like to chew my fingers. There is nothing wrong with this, just a hobby. " With the growth of age, lebron james gradually became the most popular star in high school. When reviewing his high school career, lebron james said frankly: "I am much happier than when I was in the NBA."
James came in 2003, but failed to open a new era.
As the best player in high school, lebron james faces two choices: one is to go to college for further study; The other is to join the NBA in the draft. James chose the latter.
In 2003, NBA President Stern announced that the Cavaliers had selected James in the first round. In this way, James joined the NBA as the top pick. There is no doubt that he is a very talented player. In his first year in the NBA, he became the owner of the Cavaliers. At the same time, the knight's record has also been significantly improved. However, in the past two seasons, James did not lead the Cavaliers into the playoffs.
Let's look at James' statistics. "Little Emperor" became the fifth player who averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists a season after Michael Jordan, larry bird, Robertson and Harvey Lichek. In addition, he is the youngest player to score 40 points, 50 points, triple doubles and over 3500 points, 1000 rebounds and 1000 assists.
Adoptive father Eddie is a huge fan of James.
Gloria and Eddie are frequent visitors to LeBron's game. Gloria is usually a little late. She has formed a habit. She will hug her family and friends in the stands first, and then wave to the audience like a politician. Gloria is lebron james's mother. Whether in high school or NBA, James is the only focus of attention. Of course, James's success is inseparable from his adoptive father Eddie.
Eddie was a great hurdler in high school. "Many people don't let their parents appear in the stands, but my father will take part in every game. I have seen him before the game. " James said. Yes, Eddie is willing to be a spectator at every game of his son. Eddie is actually just James' adoptive father, but James doesn't seem to care about this problem. He thinks it's meaningless. Until now, no one knows who James's real father really is.
James, who regarded Jordan as his idol, chose the No.23 jersey.
James is good at passing the ball accurately. In addition, he also has strong strength and physical fitness, and his figure and technical comprehensiveness make him suitable for all positions on the court. James was passionate about football before he fell in love with basketball. He and Tiger Woods are in the same Amanome, which is 65438+February 30th. James worships Michael Jordan in the No.23 jersey.
"In Michael's rookie season, the whole league felt his remarkable talent and thought he would create a great era." "Magic" Johnson even thinks that James is greater than Jordan in some ways. "To be honest, I have never seen a newcomer like LeBron. Do you know why? Just like Jordan, he has been making progress and getting better and better since the first game. This is an amazing momentum. "
Jordan is fatal and James is gentle.
Maybe the data can explain everything. The season before Jordan came to Chicago (1983-1984), the Bulls won only 25 games in the regular season, while the Cavaliers won 17 games. Jordan led the Bulls to 37 wins in his rookie season, and James let the Cavaliers win 35. But the difference is that the Bulls made the playoffs and the Cavaliers didn't. James is not without faults. Silas, the little emperor's teacher, said: "LeBron's defense is still unstable, and some games will be worse." When he is empty in front of him, he will not give his opponent a fatal blow like Jordan. "
"Magic" Johnson felt that James's domineering was obviously insufficient compared with Jordan's: "In those days, the bulls played very soft without Michael, but since Michael joined the team, the bulls have gradually become known for their toughness. The biggest difference between LeBron and Michael is that the former is gentle and gentle, while Michael is aggressive. " But in any case, James is still young, and his skills are better than those of flying people of the same period.
Kevin Rogley, who coached Chicago Bulls in Jordan's rookie season, pointed out the difference between young Jordan and James. "James is a great player." Rogaly said: "But I don't think Jordan will let his team plummet in the second half of the season like James." Obviously, I think something happened in the Cavaliers' locker room, and that was jealousy of LeBron. We had the same problem in Jordan's rookie season. He didn't get along well with his teammates, and so did Jordan in his first year. He practices very hard and won't play outside all the time. Not all his teammates like Michael, but he doesn't care. They respect him. As long as he can control the game, the team will never be allowed to lose. I haven't seen these advantages in LeBron so far. "
Handsome appearance, excellent ball skills, and James's great commercial charm.
James changed his agent for the simple reason that he was eager for better development in the commercial market. Today, James has taken over Jordan's Nike spokesperson position and has become a new banner. It is reported that James signed a contract with Nike worth 90 million dollars. In addition, "Little Emperor" also endorsed Sprite, UD brand and a kind of chewing gum. "Sometimes I dream that I am Michael and fly like Michael," said lebron james. Like Jordan, handsome James has extraordinary charm, especially admired by many Central American teenagers. Walking off the basketball court, James is also comparable to Jordan in public welfare.
