On February 18, Beijing time, the well-known American media The Athletic ranked James second in the list of 75 stars, and the first place was undoubtedly "flying man" Michael Jordan. James' agent, Rich Paul, said in an interview with the media that James' career is not less difficult than Jordan's.
"LeBron (James)'s career path is as tough as Michael 's,' if not even harder," Paul said, "for a number of reasons, and I think the biggest reason is that everybody wants you to do things the same way you did before you." ”
"When LeBron was a kid, the media wanted him to be like Michael; they wanted Michael to talk about LeBron on any occasion, but he probably didn't. They also want michael to be LeBron's friend, but he probably isn't either. They'd rather have leBron act like Michael, who didn't do that either. ”
"More people are smiling and wanting to see LeBron fail than supporting him from the start."
The US media pointed out that as James's agent, Rich Paul's views may not be objective, but it is also an indisputable fact that James has become one of the best players in history. Like James, Rich Paul has become one of the strongest agents in the entire world of sports.
How difficult Is James's career, it is worth continuing to discuss, for the 37-year-old superstar, the difficulty of this season is already in front of him, the Lakers are only ranked ninth in the West, thick eyebrows have just suffered a serious injury, may be absent for a while. The burden of impacting the playoffs fell on James' shoulders.
