Can James be evaluated with both merit and fault?

LeBron James is definitely a historical player. He has a great influence both on and off the court. However, as an individual, there are always merits and demerits. This article will not go into details, it will be straightforward and simple. Let’s discuss the merits and demerits of James.

Let’s talk about James’ data first

LeBron James, who was famous in the United States during his high school days, was the first pick in the first round of 2003 with the reputation of being the proud man of heaven. Knight selected. In a blink of an eye, Zams has played in the league for 17 seasons, playing 1,258 games in the regular season, averaging 27.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game, with a field goal percentage of 50.4 and a three-point field goal percentage of 34.4. Played in 239 games in the playoffs, averaging 28.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. He entered the Finals 9 times, averaging 28.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. Comparing James' regular season and playoff data, we can find that James' performance is also in the finals > playoffs > regular season. James currently has a career total of 34,087 points, 9,352 rebounds, and 9,298 assists. According to James' average data per game, James still needs 100 games to reach such dazzling data as 35,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists, and may even reach the 40,000-point achievement.

Let’s talk about James’ achievements

In his 17-year career, James*** won 3 championships, 3 FMPVs, 4 MVPs, 9 division championships, 12 5 times in the first team, 2 times in the second team, 1 time in the 2nd team, 1 time in the 3rd team, and 40 times Player of the Month. The scoring champion in the 2007-08 season, the best new ball and best new ball team in the 2004 season, and won 2 Olympic championships on behalf of the US team. 15 times in the All-NBA Team ranks him first in history with Duncan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kobe Bryant, but 12 times in the All-NBA Team ranks him first in NBA history. The 40 best of the month and 64 best of the week are also the first in history, and he is also the youngest holder of many records.

LeBron James

A model for young players on the court. Basketball, as a competitive sport, has fierce physical confrontation, and the NBA has 82 regular season games a year, which is intensive. The schedule is undoubtedly a huge test for the player's body. The peak period of basketball players is around 30 years old. James, who was born in December 1984, is already 35 years old and still maintains a good condition. This is inseparable from James's usual rigorous training. At the same time, James is also an extremely self-disciplined person and is very particular about food. James spends more than $1 million on physical maintenance every year, including trainers, masseurs, chefs, etc. Strict training and maintenance have allowed the 35-year-old James to still maintain a high competitive state. He reached his peak when he debuted and is still at his peak after playing for 17 seasons. I believe that James in such a state will become an example for many NBA players to follow.

Compared with some young players who have become famous when they entered the league but have been unable to redeem their talents, James is undoubtedly a model for all players. James, who has just entered the league, has already revealed his impressive face and super strong body. His quality makes his breakthrough very simple and efficient, and his super high golf IQ also allows James to know his strengths and weaknesses and how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses. In Game 5 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals, James scored 48 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, including 25 points in the final moment. It can be said that James single-handedly destroyed the Pistons, but was swept by the Spurs 4-0 in the finals. In fact, the Spurs' strategy is to focus on shooting when James is not shooting well. This failure also allowed James to see his own weaknesses, and then made targeted improvements. James once told the media that the experience of playing against the Spurs early in his career was one of the reasons why he shoots better now. Simmons, who also entered the league with the title of No. 1 pick, has always been Simmons' weakness in long-range shooting, especially three-pointers, but Simmons' three-pointers have not improved in the past few years.

James can clearly see his own weaknesses and change them through his hard training. This is also a model for all young players to learn from.

Wade once said on a TV show: "LeBron will not use mobile data to surf the Internet on his mobile phone in places where there is no WIFI." Using such words to ridicule James' stinginess, and about James There have been a lot of stingy reports in various media, but he is such a stingy person, but he is a generous philanthropist outside the stadium. He is mainly known for two things: one is for Akron local 2300 It provides four-year college scholarships to 1,100 poor students, amounting to approximately US$87 million; another amount is used to help 1,100 poor students complete college, with an amount of approximately US$41 million. James has also publicly stated that he will use half of the cost of his lifetime endorsement contract with Nike, which is US$800 million, for charity. Off the court, James also uses his celebrity status and social influence to assume more social responsibility, which is worth learning by everyone.

James' fault

In the summer of 2010, James announced his decision to bring his talent to Miami through an ESPN program. Together with Wade and Bosh, they formed the famous Big Three of the Heat and won two championships. James was also elected FMVP twice. Although James won the championship, this trip to Miami became the biggest controversy in James' career. In the 2009-10 season, James, Wade, and Bosh were all the stars of their respective teams. At that time, James was 26 years old, Bosh was 26 years old, and Wade was 28 years old. They were all still in their prime. In the 2009-10 season, James averaged 29.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists, winning his second career MVP. Wade had 26.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1 block. Bosh averaged 24.0 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Although there are many examples in history of superstars joining together for warmth, such as: the Green Army's Big Three composed of Garnett, Ray Allen, and Pierce; Barkley, Olajuwon, and Drexler gathering in Houston, etc.; whether it is the Rockets' The Big Three are still the Celtics' Big Three. They were all over 30 when they formed the team, and their condition has also declined significantly. James created the trend of teaming up at the top of the league. Although this model can win the championship more quickly, many fans think it is a shortcut, which has had a bad impact on subsequent leagues and players.

Everyone has a ruler in their mind about what constitutes merit and demerit. Personally, I think James is an extremely outstanding player, both in terms of his achievements in the NBA and his sense of social responsibility off the court. basketball player.

LeBron James is definitely a player of historical caliber, and he has a great influence on and off the court. But as an individual, he always has strengths and weaknesses. This article will discuss James' strengths and weaknesses directly and simply without giving details.

Let's talk about James' data first

LeBron James, a household name in the United States when he was in high school, was selected by the Cavaliers as the "most favored player" in the first round of 2003. "People" title is selected. Zams has played in the league for 17 seasons, playing 1,258 games in the regular season, averaging 27.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game, with a field goal percentage of 50.4 and a field goal percentage of 34.4. He played 239 games in the playoffs, averaging 28.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, and averaged 28.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 7.7 assists in 9 finals. Comparing James' regular season and playoff data, we can find that James' performance is also the finals gt; playoffs gt; regular season. James currently has a career total of 34,087 points, 9,352 rebounds and 9,298 assists. According to James' average data, James needs 100 games to reach the dazzling 35,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 10,000 assists, and may even affect the 40,000-point score.

Tell me more about James' achievements

In his 17-year career, James won 3 championships, 3 FMPVs, and 4 MVPs as Player of the Month , 9 regional championships, 12, 5, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3 and 40 times. The scoring champion won the Best New Ball Award in 2007-08 and the Best New Ball Team in 2004, and won two Olympic championships on behalf of the U.S. national team. 15 times on the All-NBA Team made him the first player in history with Duncan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kobe Bryant, but 12 times made him the first person in NBA history. The best in 40 months and the best in 64 weeks are also the first in history, and many of the youngest records have been preserved.

James's advantages

Basketball, as a competitive sport and a model for young athletes in the stadium, has fierce physical confrontation. However, the NBA has 82 regular seasons a year, and the tight schedule is undoubtedly a huge test for the health of the players. The peak age of basketball players is around 30 years old. James was born in December 1984. He is 35 years old this year and is still in good shape. This is closely related to James' usual rigorous training. At the same time, James is also a very self-disciplined person and he is very picky about food. James spends more than $1 million every year on body care, including coaches, masseurs, chefs, etc. Strict training and maintenance have kept the 35-year-old James in a highly competitive state, reaching the peak when he debuted and still at his peak after playing 17 seasons. I believe James State will become a model for many NBA players to follow.

James not only has super personal abilities, but can also produce huge bonus buffs to other players. How strong James is, Antetokounmpo, who is now sought after by the NBA, in my opinion is at most 60% of James' strength. But why such a strong James still creates obvious polarization? This starts with James' background in the NBA.

James undoubtedly entered the NBA with a halo. When other young players are thinking about the main position, high salary, and championship, James is already thinking about his historical status. Not a simple historical superstar, but the number one person. Yes, he wants to challenge God. This is the historical mission given to him by his sponsors, NBA League, and fans, and James has accepted this challenge.

The most difficult thing about this challenge is Jordan's actual 6 championships. James cannot wait until the age of 28 like Jordan to win his first championship. He needed to get the first one as soon as possible. After discovering that the Cavaliers could not achieve their goals quickly, James was forced to make a bad move, which was to cut his salary and report to the Heat. This fundamentally changed many people's evaluation of him. In order to offset these negative comments, James needs to win a lot of championships with the Heat and stick with it for many years to verify that he joined the Heat for brotherly friendship (this is also why Durant took a salary cut and renewed his contract with the Warriors). But it's a pity that James failed to do both. The Heat's results can only be considered unsatisfactory, and what James didn't expect was the emergence of a super strong team like the Warriors. The Heat, who are already on the decline, obviously do not have any bright future against the Warriors, who are on the rise. This ultimately prompted James to leave the Heat and return to the Cavaliers.

At that time, the Cavaliers had high-quality chips, Irving and James had two value-for-money contracts, and after paying a high luxury tax, the Cavaliers finally formed a team. A lineup that can barely compete with the Warriors. James also played a legendary game in his career, defeating the 73-win Warriors to win the championship. But it is a pity that with Irving's departure, the Cavaliers, who had already overdrawn their future, lost the capital to continue fighting against the Warriors. James had to leave again and join the Lakers.

The Lakers can be regarded as a replica of the Cavaliers, or even an upgraded version. The Lakers have spent several years accumulating a large number of high-quality chips, value-for-money contracts and salary space.

But James calculated everything, but he didn't expect that he would encounter the worst general manager in the NBA. After Magic's childlike operation, not only did the team's strength not increase, but it was greatly weakened. It even ultimately led to James missing the playoffs.

To sum up, James has actually been in a huge whirlpool, which comes from the outside world and from his heart. On the surface, it seems that James made a personal choice, but in fact, he couldn't help it. As long as he stagnates at any time, he may be swallowed by the whirlpool. The 34-year-old Jordan and the 34-year-old Kobe are already legends of their respective teams, but James chose to wander again. This is both a kind of courage and a kind of helplessness.

Everyone has a yardstick in their mind for what constitutes merit and demerit. Personally, I think James is an extremely outstanding player, both in terms of his achievements in the NBA and his sense of social responsibility off the court. basketball player.
