On January 13, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. As of today, the new NBA regular season schedule is basically halfway through. As the big favorite team at the beginning of the game, the Lakers' record is only 21 wins and 20 losses, ranking 7th in the West, which is obviously far from what people expect.
Recently, a news of James was exposed, before the Lakers' first training this season, James had told his Lakers teammates that they reminded him of another aging legend, the Patan Bay Pirates led by Tom Brady. (Note, brady left the Patriots to join the Pirates in 2020 and led the Brisket Pirates, who had missed the playoffs for years, to the NFL Super Bowl in one fell swoop.) ）
For this news, prominent commentators Shannon Sharpe and Skip began to discuss. Shannon Sharpe said: "I don't see any comparability. Didn't he realize that the Pirates were all at their peak except Brady and Gron? And now the Lakers except James and Munch, everyone else has failed. ”
Skip said: "It was Westbrook who was in the heat, and James was fiercely frustrated in inspiring the strongest Westbrook. ”
In addition, Skip also put James and Nets star Irving together, he said: "In my mind, I have a hard time seeing Irving as a point guard, I looked at the data, Irving only averaged 5.7 assists per game in his career, which is too 'possession'! （too guard-ish）。 In the playoffs, he also averaged just five assists per game. James, by contrast, is 100 times stronger than him, whether as a contributor, ball-handler, or organizer. ”
James has previously partnered with Irving for three seasons and teamed up to lead the Cavaliers to a championship in 2016. A rift then broke down in the relationship between the two sides and left the Cavaliers.
