In the leBron James album, the official special "75 Stories" released by the NBA for the 75th star in history, former NBA player Richard Hamilton appeared on camera to share his memories of James.
"I remember the first time I played against him in an official match, he was taller and stronger than all the players who played in that position. I sat on the bench with Tyshaun (Prince) because back then he was a player who put the pass first and he's still the kind of player who puts the pass first. We were talking, 'Hey, you know what? We'd better beat him now. Because what if he figured it out? We don't have a chance. Then in that playoff game [G5 in the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals], he seemed to figure it out and scored 25 points on top of us.
"I looked at Tyshaun and said, 'Ty, bro, he figured it out. Gosh, the year before was probably the last time we beat LeBron James. Because this kid is about to take over the league. Hamilton said.
