James's NBA career is shining enough that it can even be described as "under one person" or "second only to God." In addition to continuing to lead the team to compete for the championship and continue to challenge Jordan's GOAT status, it is also a good story that James is committed to achieving before the end of his NBA career to compete with his eldest son Brownie in the NBA.
It seems that as the Lakers' hope of winning another championship in the past has evolved in a small direction, James has begun to go in the direction of another end-of-career wish to fight for father-son basketball. In an interview with The Athletic at the end of February, James once again said publicly: "In the last year of my career, I want to play with my son... Which team Brownie will be on, I will be on that team, and I am willing to give everything to play with Brownies in the NBA for a year, it is not a matter of money.
To some extent, this is not only James's public expression of his wish and idea of competing on the same stage as father and son, or more accurately, the same team, but also a gesture of releasing a royal bounty order to the NBA team in advance, if the 2023 draft (Brownie can participate in this draft as soon as possible), the home team will probably get James's favor and joining and the right to contract James's last dance home city tour as the home team.
Looking forward to Jackie Chan, doing his best, hoping to accompany his son to walk a period or pave a career path, from the perspective of a father, this point makes sense, of course, the father can understand this, only mention James as a father's expectations for his son, of course, everyone can understand him very well.
However, don't forget that behind every draft of thousands of troops crossing the canoe bridge, there are hundreds or thousands of fathers of young and excellent basketball players, hoping that their guidance and investment in their sons over the years will be rewarded, so that their sons will become one of the 60 rookies selected every year.
However, by the 2023 draft, the competitive number of "60" should become "59", because the "older rookie" and James, who is the first person in active history, have re-drafted in another way and will definitely be able to lock in a place in it.
When it comes to NBA draft players, the big dating team that everyone has remembered in the past considers whether to throw the draft pick that symbolizes hydrangea because of the potential of players, talent, that is, combat strength, the reserve of personnel in various positions of the team, and even the market of the country behind the rookie.
Looking back at the history of the NBA draft, there are indeed many excellent players from the second generation of the ball. However, the phenomenon of the second generation of the ball still in the active state superstar father to interfere in the team's draft should be a new approach invented by James. In the past, the second generation of the ball still relied on their basketball strength and physical talent to fight for higher picks or just a rookie contract finalist in the NBA, such as the Splash Brothers.
Looking at Brownie's basketball road, it can be found that his ranking in high school has fluctuated greatly in the past, and the national combat ranking from high school to high school is actually fluctuating all the way down. Although being identified as a four-star high school student is also a good affirmation for young people, but four-star high school students are walking all over the United States, not to mention compared to the father of the same period, Old Zhan, but compared to the five-star high school students of the same year, Brownie's strength and natural strength are slightly ordinary.
In terms of real strength as a young player, Brownie may be selected in the second round. However, behind the bonus praise of the legendary superstar father and son basketball drama, his draft pick will be a big step forward no matter what, and behind each step forward of the James father and son in the 2023 draft draft, there may be a father and son who should have gained one point less happiness in the draft.
The NBA is a business league, and many of the top players are actually thoughtful and well-behaved super businessmen. Although James has said that he wants to have a journey with Brownie on the same team in the NBA with Brownie in his final playing career, he is not thinking about the problem of not having money.
However, apparently, when he publicly expressed this desire many times, a business blueprint plan that I don't know if anyone actively designed was provided to the NBA team for reference, and Brownie, who was originally covered with a huge aura and could not digest it, should also bear more expectations beyond his ability.
At this point, the key factor that determines Brownie's future draft pick is his real strength and potential, but it is not as good as how much fighting power James still has in the last year and the commercial value of retiring from the tour.
Once this trend starts, perhaps many stars with heads and faces in the league may consider following James's decision, and the hereditary basketball atmosphere of the draft will officially open and will be inherited in the future.
For example, the key factor that determines Durant's son's future draft pick is basically how much combat effectiveness Durant still has in the last year and the commercial value of retiring from the tour?
Oh, almost forgot, Durant, who likes to emulate James, is still the fifth diamond king, and if he has a son in the back, it should be difficult for him to persist until the year he enters the NBA draft.
Then, for example, the key factor that determines morant's son's future draft pick will not be how much combat effectiveness Morant still has in the last year and the commercial value of retiring from the tour?
Or is it that the key factor that determines the future draft pick of Wiggins's son or grandson will not be how much fighting power Wiggins still has in the last year and the commercial value of retiring from the tour?
