    People still don't realize how much more physically and athletically superior he was to longtime NBA players even as an 18 year old. It's crazy looking at this vid cause you can clearly see he was easily the most explosive player and they couldn't stop him once he had a head of steam even then. Add in his BBall IQ and just natural talent, there was no way he wouldn't be a beast from day one. Same thing with Shaq, Magic, and Duncan. 95% of guys that come out now in the one and done era aren't physically ready nor athletically superior enough for the pro game to stand out. And for the rare ones that are (think Jaylen Brown or Ben Simmons) they aren't superior in the way LeBron was athletically nor do they have the same IQ or talent.

    It's amazing how he lived up to the hype. No player in NBA history was this hyped up coming out of high-school or college. It's truly remarkable what he's done in his career. The best player I've ever seen. The GOAT.
    Also, my username is factual.

    Crazy what he has been through and how far he has come not only as player but a person. His mom gave birth to him at 16. Both struggled to find a decent home but eventually found one. A legit beast during his 4 years in high school. Has athleticism beyond this world. Received multiple colleges offers but entered the NBA at age of 18. Drafted #1 by his hometown. Became a father. Became the hero and villain of the NBA. Won back to back titles. Married his high school sweetheart. Returned back to Cleveland. Erased a 3-1 deficit leading to Cleveland’s first championship. Still the face of the NBA and reaching new milestones. Love him or hate him. The past 14 years and even to this day is his era. The man is the GOAT of our generation.
    (Edit: it’s been 4 years since I’ve wrote this and the man is still doing wonders even at age 37. As his career is coming to an slight eclipse, people will realize that they have taken this man for granted since we will never know when there will be another great of this caliber in the future. LeBron has help shape the NBA where it is today and continues to pour his heart and soul in each game. Peace)

      I agree, people need to stop comparing Zion to Lebron cause although they’re beasts in their own right, Lebron is just built better. Zion is fast and athletic but he’s a bit too heavy which results in injuries. Lebron is a rock and he’s fast, athletic, strong, durable but leaner than Zion. He’s perfect tbh.

      - The CP3 veto was a unique situation. Every owner in the league had input in that deal and Stern had to veto it to appease a good bit of the owners. Cavs moves involved 2 parties, not the entire league.
      - Stern *did not* hate Kobe, lol. He once said Kobe is right there with Jordan (and he loved Jordan). He also said his dream Finals would be Lakers vs. Lakers (around 2002). He's always loved Kobe and the Lakers. He pushed for their success.

      Kobe
      Bird
      Magic
      Duncan
      And check the viewership ratings the NBA has lost more money then ever just like ESPN. The last highest televise viewership game was when kobe retired. Nobody was watching the warriors break the bulls record. There's a reason why the nba is starting to push the Lakers and Celtics rivalry again and over hyping the next player in lonzo ball.

    At 18!!!! I don’t care if he didn’t have the cast to help him get rings to equate to peoples opinions of him being better than Jordan. Lebron is the greatest human to ever compete in the NBA under the the types of circumstances he’s had to deal with. To never deal with any athletic injury to debilitate your game and hit the fire running from the beginning at his pace and consistency with what circumstances he’s has to deal with. Was too good to play in college. Imagine if he went to an actual well organized team with decent role players. What he would accomplish from his many early years? It would be insane. A shame people don’t realize how unfortunate his surroundings have been through a good amount of years in his career. Yet it’s just like his upbringing in real life. The struggle to grow up where he did and make it to where he is, is almost perfectly complimentary to his NBA career. Nothing perfect, everything possible, greatness attainable, surroundings unfortunate and adversity to show imperfection shines more beautifully than the perfection of ignorant opinion.
