As we all know, James can be said to be the evergreen tree of the league, and since the age of 33, people have been talking about James's imminent decline. However, now that James is 37 years old, he can still deliver a report card of 29.1 points per game. It's no surprise that a veteran who has played 19 seasons in the league can perform like this.
And before and during the All-Star period, the conversation about whether James could compete with his son Brownie in his final season never stopped. Because James once said that in the last season of his career, he wants to try his best to compete with Brownie, where Brownie goes, he will go, and he will not care about salary. This remark even once made Brownie on the hot search list, which shows how influential James is.
Of course, many people have ridiculed James's remarks that this is not a clear statement that whoever chooses brownies can send a James? There will even be a lot of teams that will be messed up in order to select Brownie and thus compete for James. But is that the case?
In fact, it is not, for example, during the All-Star Game, when James was asked if he intended to return to Cleveland for the third time, James said that everything was possible. But the Cavaliers responded that the Cavaliers were unlikely to break up the squad the team had already built up to make room, and the team would have a hard time meeting James' salary requirements. In addition, the Cavaliers may be more reluctant to waste their draft picks to choose Brownie simply to get James, and most other teams may be the same, because Brownie is currently showing talent, I am afraid that entering the NBA is still a bit difficult.
According to brownie scouting reports, his three templates are Melton of the Grizzlies, The Bulls' Ball Brother, and The Bulls' Dosem. And the scouting report also pointed out that brownies' positional warfare lacked the ability to create scoring opportunities. And Brownie's physical talent is also mediocre, his height is only 1.91 meters, as a shooting guard, his explosiveness and height are weaknesses, leadership and ball holding ability are shortcomings.
Therefore, we can see whether James and Brownie can compete in the same game, and the resistance can be said to be not on James, because we have enough reason to believe that two years later, James still has a battle. The real resistance is whether Brownies have enough talent and ability to be favored by the team in the NBA draft. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of father and son competing together, brownies may need to make a relatively large breakthrough in the next two years. What do you think about that?
