My thoughts of Lebron James and his performance
Another basketball season wrapped up yesterday with the
Miami Heat winning back to back years. I have been a basketball fan since I
started watching basketball in college. I immediately became involved in every
aspect of the sport and regretted not watching it since I was a kid. The one
thing I do miss is hearing how people just sat back and watched the magnificent
career of Michael Jordan. Watching NBA TV classic game or YouTube highlight
reels to me is probably 1% in compared to watching him play live. This morning
I realized that I get to be in that type of position now. When I started
watching it was during the Kobe/Duncan era and then this young kid from Akron
that was revered at the chosen one came in and has delivered. I am not
comparing Michael Jordan to Lebron James, I realize that there is no way that
James can do the things the MJ did and will never have the same competitive
attitude that made Jordan such a phenomenon. But I do get to watch him from his
first season to hopefully his last and say “I was there” that I got to watch
him in person Game 7 of the ECF in 2012 and that he has made me a huge fan of
the game.
