LeBron James is widely acclaimed in the league for his outstanding leadership on and off the court. Throughout his career, James has been setting an example for his teammates on both offensive and defensive ends, and is the absolute leader who leads his teammates forward.
At the Lakers, James did the same thing. As the best player on the team and the most accomplished player on the team, James knows better than anyone on the team what it takes to win a championship. Still, that doesn't mean James did everything right.
Recently, James became popular online for a video of him looking at the team's stat sheet in a game he lost. Wei Shao sat next to James, and his face looked very ugly. Because Wei Shao's performance was not good, he was like a "child who was checked by his parents for homework" at that moment.
James's approach has attracted questions from Lakers veteran Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown is a well-known parallelist in the NBA, but has been a teammate with Kobe For many years. He knew a lot of Kobe Bryant's playing habits. For James's approach, Kwame Brown said that Kobe Bryant never looks at the technical statistics table during the game.
"When I saw James looking at the datasheet, it told me all about why the Lakers lost. It told me all about why this team didn't have a connection on the defensive end. I grew up playing, and coaches were reiterating one thing: they would never let a player look at a data sheet on the bench, especially when the team lost. What does that datasheet teach you? We lost a game and I'm not going to let anyone on our team touch the statistics table. We lose, what are we looking at the statistics for?
So James looked at the statistics table on the bench, and that was wrong behavior. That's horrible and any of you players shouldn't follow suit... Kobe Bryant would never do that. ”
James did look at the statistics table during the game, but to be fair, he just wanted to check on himself or his teammates' performance. Whatever the reason, James's behavior clearly annoyed some people. In basketball, especially in the NBA, the only number that should be counted is the number of wins. For the Lakers, that number is far from ideal.
Needless to say, the Lakers still have a lot of work to do, and it will depend on James leading them through the second half of the season.
