Recently, James participated in a talk show "THE SHOP". On the show, James talked about how he responded to outside comments. James said that you don't have to pay too much attention to the evaluation of the outside world, if you care too much, it will make you exhausted. James said: "You can't take the outside world's evaluation of you too seriously, no matter what you do, others will dictate everything you do, (if you care too much) it will creep into your brain and invade you, believe it or not, it will exhaust you." ”
At the same time, James also said that he has experienced the stage of "too much care" to have the current mentality. James talked about why the Heat Big Three lost the title in their first year. James said: "In my first year in Miami, I tried to show everyone that they [evaluated me] were wrong, and I was basically in a state of self-loss. We made it to the Finals that year, and I knew why I lost because I (my true self) wasn't playing there at all. ”
James's career success has a lot to do with his great ability to summarize, learn and improve himself. The Heat's big three lost the championship in the first year, and indeed it has a lot to do with James' mentality. Wade did very well in the Finals that year, as long as James performed a little harder, the Heat had a high probability of winning the championship that year, and Wade would also have an additional FMVP trophy.
Like James himself said, that time was basically in a state of self-loss. He was so desperate to prove himself that he was playing out of order on the field. In particular, James and Wade's learning of Nowitzki cough in the players' tunnel is a subtle manifestation of this mentality.
The following season, James adjusted his mindset, leading the Heat to 2 championships and 2 FMVPs. James has since embarked on the path of the NBA's first active man and second man in history. It can be said that the Heat's first year of losing the title was a major turning point in James' career.
It was because of that failed experience that James really began his time. If the Heat had won the championship that year, James might have become Pippen by Wade's side.
