"It's not about potential or what you do in your first few years it's about what you do over the course of a long career". Man james really did prove himself

No, people are given talents and ability but to better them they have to separate themselves through the hard work that takes blood sweat and tears. People aren’t just given things most have to take it... Lebron James is one of the hardest workers.
No matter how long you practice or hard you work......there are only handful of guys that can have the vision of the court at that age like Lebron.....you can't teach that or learn it. It's just God given. Floyd Mayweather is another great example....different sport..but same God given ability that you can't teach.
I been blessed in my life to see this great sport prodigy in basketball, Lebron James who was projected to be a great player early in high school and over twenty years later still a top 10 NBA player. Incredible.
20 years later and the kid from Akron's about 100 points away, from breaking the NBA's all-time scoring record. I'm pretty sure it was all a dream back then, congratulations champ!
LeBron literally was NBA player playing vs high schoolers. He was just so far ahead and had better games then other high school players who became greats. He was just advanced in everything he did. Cp3 was also on another level. He could have went to nba straight too.
I'm from Ohio. Y'all just don't know the amount of hate ( from the usual suspects) LeBron reviewed in HS. The media looked for ANYTHING to twist into a bad act, and I personally heard the worst negative stereotypes and racist garbage spewed by the White crowds during games. People were literally praying for his downfall as a teen. These are the same folks you see today complaining about everything he says and does. The hate did not start with the Jordan comparisons. That's just a convenient way to mask the the fact that they've always hated Black males like him from day one.
The majority of his haters over the past several years have been politically motivated as the far right hates him; and yes, there's a lot of independent racism as well. It's sad.
Fullmetal the media gave him the name lol. I’ve seen a picture of him and it says “Prince James will he be king” then the next year they start calling him King James and “The Chosen One”. Lebron turned arguably the worst franchise around. Cavs only had 17 wins when they got him and just in his 2nd playoff push got to the finals. His first stint in Cleveland was never good enough due to him being so great early on and they couldn’t tank for a pick and the management was horrible. By the team he left for Miami he already was a 2x all defensive first team, 5x all NBA 1st team, 6x All Star ROTY, 2 MVPs a finals appearance and has all the youngest to records. And he was arguably the best player in the league by 2009 2010. plus what was Jordan the goat or king of between 1984-1990?

That's why they shouldn't compare any high schooler or even college senior to Bron. He was better at 18 than most dudes are as 10 year vets. Absolutely ridiculous

WOW! LOL time really does fly, it literally feels like yesterday when I watched this game, super hype game for real! I graduated in 2003 and Lebron's High School years was unlike anything I ever seen, he was a true definition of a Phenom! Shoutout to Drew Lavender, Brookhaven in the house!
The commentators were wondering if he would have the drive to be better after he got the big NBA contract. I think it's safe to say that he showed them and has lived up to the hype for his entire career.

"Will he have the Drive"🤣
"He can't get any bigger and stronger" 🤣
@13:10. Chris Paul! Scored 61 points to honor his grandfather who just died, then tossed the ball to the ref and walked away, 5 points short of the state record. LEGEND.
So what's with his one point game? Celebrating hia babies first birthday? 🤣 gtfo
@@jer8279You deadass hating on a young kid for paying respect to his deceased grandfather. I’ll pray that karma doesn’t get anyone in your family.
My bad man i was wrong as hell@zevoks6577
It’s amazing how much hype lebron had at 18 and he managed to keep his head and become the greatest of all time
Second greatest
You’re crazy if you think he’s better than MJ
@@upbeatproductions7614 hes a better player
@@upbeatproductions7614 he's a better all around player but MJ has the more iconic career.
That dunk and celebration at 15:45 from Villaneuva are GOATED 🔥🤣
ESPN digging thru their old videos like the a 5 year old kid looking for his buried coin jar in the back yard.
yall gotta understand they were interviewing HIGHSCHOOL LeBron courtside @ NBA PLAYOFF Games.
They don’t even do that for College players.. nobody has ever had that much spotlight/pressure @ that age.
Facts...detractors used to say "its because he grew up during the internet boom; and thats why he has so much exposure"....welp 20 years later and we have yet to see anything close to high school Lebron James
Kobe did.
@@MADNEWYORKER914 kobe had nowhere near the buzz or notoriety of a high school Lebron James
@@ddp5406
R U serious???
Kobe was all over the place when he was in high school.
@KingLeo80
Yes he was!!!
Chris Paul should leave okc and go join bron if he want a ring be point guard and they keep him healthy.
chris paul AD and bron would be NASTY
I think Chris Paul is gonna go the way of Vince Carter
@@michaelcnorth1982 Knicks are gonna find a way to trade 4 him
@@ChangeGunz bruh if you think the lakers can pay ad, lebron, and cp3 while still having a bench you crazy
If u even for a second paid attention to Paul contract you would realize how ridiculous that sounds
How could you not appreciate this man 🔥goat of my generation
This year McDonals game they all looked like kids back then these seniors look like grown men 😂😂
they aint think he could get stronger lol he was like 220 here
240 bruh
230 actually
229.9 actually
40 actually
TyroneNBAFan 225
Everyone who knows basketball knew he would be legendary and 17 years later he's now a top 2 player of all time in basketball history
15:30 People already booing this man. Highest expectations from the jump.
Who's here after lebron won his 4th ring?
James all-day were winners
18:34 that stat line is actually his 20 yr NBA career avg.🤯😳
CP3 and Lebron @18 on the same team could beat more than half the teams in the NCAA
Top ten
cant wait to see this guy in the NBA, i bet he'll be dominant
Chris Paul is still a beast too leading this OKC team to the playoffs.
3:00 Mans did a no look alley oop pass @ 18 smh lol
That's why they shouldn't compare any high schooler or even college senior to Bron. He was better at 18 than most dudes are as 10 year vets. Absolutely ridiculous
This is surprisingly clear great post thank you 🙏🏽
He has the best vision in NBA history. He easily as a kid could take 40 lay ups but still finds open players first before anything else
Did the coach say “he’s gonna leave a legacy bigger than basketball because of his heart” ok LeBron you did it bro, you lived up to and exceeded... you’re the GOAT bro
Lol 3 rings the media GOAT smdh. KAREEM THE GOAT..
Iere Pierre u can argue Kareem as the goat, or Jordan, wilt, Russell, Bron etc. it’s subjective
4X RINGS, 4X FINALS MVP, 4X SEASON MVP, 3X ALLSTAR MVP..
Did homie really just call Kareem the goat?🤨🤨
@@holidayvsdawrld he could be tbh. U can make an argument for him being goat. Him, jordan and bron are the only 3 u can make a case for being the goat.
Lebron James has lived up to the hype and proved everyone wrong. Now I want to him another ring with the Lakers.
He wont
20 years, still at his top of his game in the NBA while watching his son play in the McDonald's All American Game
lebron media trained in high school is so crazy, truly amazing
17 years later...still dominating
And a billionaire let the hate continue we love LeBron James
20 years now
@@danmoreta and still dominating!
@@d5247crazy
16:28-7:08 IN 40 seconds, on 3 straight Defensive/Offensive possessions, he went steal/dunk, block/lay-up, steal/alley oop dunk....DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THEN THAT. Looked like a Man amongst Boys.
WOW! LOL time really does fly, it literally feels like yesterday when I watched this game, super hype game for real!
I graduated in 2003 and Lebron's High School years was unlike anything I ever seen, he was a true definition of a Phenom! Shoutout to Drew Lavender, Brookhaven in the house!
2023 he is still playing!
Chris Paul was James' teammate on the East team. They both have long careers.
"The Great ones stand the Test of Time". 🐐 James
BabyGOAT James before becoming GOATman James.
The commentators were wondering if he would have the drive to be better after he got the big NBA contract. I think it's safe to say that he showed them and has lived up to the hype for his entire career.
Those early 2000s shorts were CRAZYYY 😂😂 Musta been so uncomfortable to move around in those things
Can't believe that this is almost 20 years ago.
