Not a single one of them was on par with Lebron physically. You won't find more than 5 people on the globe right now with the same raw genetic gifts as Lebron, that are not in the highest level of their sport.

It's not 100% genetic, he works for a great portion of that as well, especially the ability to still do it at this level with all the minutes he's logged.

With regard to basketball, everything on the planet has been handed to him since he was in 10th grade. If you look on youtube for his highschool highlights you'll see there was no comparison between him and his peers. And you don't get that from hard work at that age. There isn't enough time, there isn't the coaching, there aren't enough games, etc. That's just reality.

Nah. You don't get to be called the greatest prospect coming into the NBA without putting a shite ton of hard work into it, in addition to the physical gifts.

That's why he has mental illness now

quote:
You can scoff at that if you want, but his life consists of playing a game, insulated in the sports world, surrounded by people telling him that he's the best that's ever lived, or people that troll him. This mental illness is inevtible. He needs something away from basketball to bring him down to reality and get his mind right

That's what you think his life consists of because you only see him play basketball. He obviously does a whole lot of stuff outside of basketball that are important to him.
