LeBron James (Lebron James), full name LeBron Raymone James (Lebron Raymone James), born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio, USA, is an American professional basketball player, playing as a small forward, playing for the NBA Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James is considered one of the most versatile players in NBA history with a high basketball IQ, sharp breakaways, excellent vision and passing skills.
James is in the spotlight in the basketball world, but some people believe that he can't be compared to some of his predecessors, and there may be several reasons:
Playing style: James is known for his all-round, but he lacks the unique style of play of his predecessors like Jordan and Kobe. His style of play may be seen as too utilitarian and lacking artistry and creativity.
Number of champions: While James has had many accomplishments in his career, he has won fewer NBA championships than some of his predecessors. Jordan and Kobe Bryant are both six Finals finals and five championships, which makes them more champions than James.
Performance in key moments: At key moments in the game, some felt that James was not as good as Jordan and Kobe Bryant, among others. They believe that James lacks enough determination and fighting spirit in key moments, while the likes of Jordan and Kobe Bryant are able to step up in key moments.
Technical features:: Some people think that James' technical characteristics are relatively rough, lacking the delicacy and mastery of the likes of Jordan and Kobe. While James is physically stellar, his shooting and dribbling skills may not be as good as those of his predecessors.
Leadership temperament: Some believe that James' temperament and ability as a leader is inferior to the likes of Jordan and Kobe. They believe that James lacks sufficient determination and leadership in key moments, while the likes of Jordan and Kobe Bryant are able to lead the team to victory when it is difficult.
To sum up, James' failure to be recognized by his predecessors may be related to his style of play, technical characteristics, number of championships, performance in key moments, and leadership qualities. However, each person has different criteria for evaluating players, so there is also a certain subjectivity in the evaluation of James.
