    lebron was being compared to MJ and being called the king when he was still in high school. 23 years later and still producing at a high level at age 41, he's somehow exceeded the hype that surrounded him back then

    It's an ongoing joke, he almost had 27-7-7 with the lakers and then hit a LeF*** you 3 before being subbed out, finishing with 30-7-7. Super funny

    Really cool year long Q&A from McMenamin, asking Bron all kind of stuff throughout the year.

    Biggest thing: f*** you Solomon Hill

    i know people have said that injury was a turning point, but i guess i never heard lebron say it. weird that it would be an ankle sprain of all things.

    i also find the fixation on origin to be interesting. this idea that being from akron and being able to do big things is a little funny to me, as i think greatness is so rare that we probably shouldn't expect it to emanate from any specific source, geographically. like, if you're one of one, you're almost bound to be from a random place? we can't all be from manhattan or beverly hills or whatever.

    I think it's more about the access to opportunities and confidence. In random places the people around don't dream that big and it takes a lot to reach to this stage.i believe many are lost in the path because of their surroundings

    i mean, michael jordan (born in nyc but grew up in wilmington), larry bird, and magic johnson were all from comparable/smaller towns. it's just interesting that lebron likes this narrative for himself. and i also feel like even if you were born in manhattan, if al pacino showed up and had dinner with you, you'd be in equal disbelief at your status relative to your origins.

    I don’t find it strange at all. It’s the story he tells himself, young, poor kid with no siblings, no father from a small town makes it to the absolute pinnacle of his profession and becomes the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. It’s such a rare feat that it’s not meant to happen and the fact it happened to him would be humbling.

    (Let’s leave out the all time genetics in the story though hehe)
