As the first person in NBA active service, James's influence is all over the world. Even those who don't know basketball and don't pay attention to NBA must have heard of Zhan Huang's name. On the basketball court, James is a successful player and a responsible leader. Off the court, James's business empire is equally fruitful.
Many people envy James's successful life, but they don't know that James's success is not accidental! Today, Mr. Zeng will lead you to restore a real James with five things, and see how this guy from the slum has achieved such high achievements step by step.
Not only a basketball star, but also a football genius. If you go to college, you may go to North Carolina.
James didn't have much contact with basketball before high school. At that time, he focused more on football, and James was also gifted in football. In his freshman year, James was selected as the best team in Ohio as an off-campus receiver. Even if James doesn't choose basketball, he will also make great achievements in football.
However, as we all know, James finally chose basketball instead of continuing his rugby career for various reasons, and after high school, he took part in the draft and entered the NBA as the No.1 scholar. James, who has not been influenced by college basketball, was questioned by many people before he entered the league, but in fact, James once considered joining a university to play NCAA, including Ohio State University, where James's hometown is located, and North Carolina, where his idol Jordan played.

Davis asked rookie James to carry his shoes.
James didn't disappoint the people who expected him after he entered the league. He scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists in his first show, and one of the assists was handed back to the Cavaliers boss at that time when no one was defending him. Ricky Davis, after the game, James's ball dealer and emotional intelligence were greatly appreciated by the American media.
However, Ricky Davis, as the boss of the team, still lives in his own world and obviously doesn't take James seriously. On the court, Davis still claims to be the core of the team, and the defensive end often leaks people and lets James wipe his ass; Back off the court, Davis asked James to carry his shoes in the locker room, and James did the same. However, Davis's move angered the Cavaliers' management. After half a season, he was traded to the Celtics. In an interview with reporters, he left the famous sentence? I thought they chose James to help me? .
Self-discipline to the extreme. He hasn't eaten pork in the league for 17 years.
Now, James, who is 35 years old, is still a strong contender for MVP, and he can still complete incredible tomahawk dunks on the court. All this comes from his ten-year self-discipline. James hasn't eaten pork for 17 years since he joined the league in order to keep fit. After a regular season in 16-17 season, James, who was hungry, looked around for food. Finally, he found the pizza that his teammates had not finished eating in the locker room. Just as James was about to eat, he suddenly found that there was pork on this pizza, so James put it down again and shook his head and left.
In addition to his regular diet, James is very strict with himself during training. During the NBA schedule, James spent all his time in the training room except playing games; Even in the offseason, he was the first player to participate in training.
Self-discipline all the year round also makes James have incredible physical strength. His teammate coval once said in an interview that once in the aerobic training of the team's mountaineering machine, coval vomited directly on the floor at the end of the training because of too much intensity; James, on the other hand, even rushed to the basket to complete a big windmill dunk after practice. It is no wonder that Lao Zhan can play all the games in the playoffs.
The only time a leader played as a substitute in his career was to take care of his teammates.
Since James entered the league in 23, he has played 1,255 games, including 1,254 starts. James only played as a substitute once in his 17 years, but he still took care of his teammate Varacho. After the end of the 26-7 season, Cavaliers center Vallejo's contract expired, and the management made a well-qualified offer for him, who averaged only 6.8 points and 6.7 rebounds last season. However, Vallejo did not appreciate it, but joined the free market. The Pistons also offered him a three-year contract of 17 million yuan, and the Cavaliers had no choice but to match it.
Cavaliers fans are outraged by this behavior of taking advantage of the fire. They are going to boo Varejao when he comes off the bench, and James chose to play off the bench with him in order to avoid the booing all over the sky. This is the only time James has played off the bench in his career. This kind of leadership spirit has also been well received by the players.
In addition, Tyrone-Lu has previously revealed to the media the story about the shocking reversal of the 216 finals. After losing G4, there was silence in the Cavaliers' locker room, but James stood up and said to everyone. I only have one request, please help me win the fifth game. If I do, I will help you win the tiebreaker? . On the day before the game, James texted all his teammates again. If any of you don't believe that we can win, please don't get on the plane. These words gave the Cavaliers great confidence and strength. In the end, they also helped LeBron win the key G5. He also fulfilled his promise and led them to win the championship that year.
