Recently, NBA legend Abdul-Jabbar was interviewed by the US media. Speaking of James, Abdul-Jabbar first praised James's achievements, but also criticized some of James's ideas. Abdul-Jabbar believes that James often has some social affairs, but he has no knowledge of it, and it is not a good phenomenon to comment bluntly. Some of the things he had done were embarrassing. The things That Abdhadhar is talking about here are mainly related to outbreaks and vaccines. James seems to be a little wobbly about these things, and Jabbar seems to think of James as a tailwind wallhead.
In fact, Abdul-Jabbar has always shown respect for James' achievements. This criticism should also be just a well-intentioned reminder. James did, though, vacillate on some things. As the saying goes, a superstar of James's level will be observed under a microscope. This season the NBA has struggled to play against the backdrop of the pandemic, and the issue of vaccines has always been at the top of the discussion. James is a star with a clear voice, and his views are important to the league. Some of James's views have caused resentment, or his wavering views are puzzling. Abdul-Jabbar once said: Before James makes a statement, you have to guess which side he is on, what is his thoughts?
If you look at James's career history, some of the things James has done are indeed somewhat unexpected. The summer of 2010 is a very representative example, no one thought that James would announce his whereabouts on tv and leave the Cavaliers to join the Heat. As a result, this move brought him a very bad reputation, and in the 2010-11 season, James and the Heat were national enemies. Everyone expects the Heat to lose, and everyone looks at James as if it doesn't look good.
Of course, james later led the Heat to win the championship, and after returning to the Cavaliers, he led the team to the only championship in team history, slightly washing away his previous doubts. Today, James on the court has no problems. But off the court, James is very fond of speaking out and expressing his views on social phenomena and the speech of various parties. In fact, this is not a good sign.
As we all know, athletes should not be associated with other things, and being present and concentrating on the ball is the most important thing. Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, rarely comments on outside things and rarely gives interviews to reporters, and he is too low-key to create a sense of mystery. Jordan during the player period also rarely commented on social phenomena, so he created the god of basketball. A basketball player needs to get rid of distractions and focus on the field in order to play the best basketball. In today's NBA, there are many players who have given up using social media, and James' social media followers rank at the top of the league's stars. As the old Chinese saying goes, too much is lost, and James should be aware of that.
Far from it, let's talk about this season. The Lakers have encountered many problems this season, and the Lakers have been on the cusp of the storm for most of the season. Even though James has the highest average points per game in the league, the team's record is not good, and he is not even in the top 10 in the West. Naturally, there will be no less doubts. Some people say that the Lakers have given up this season, and some people say that James has not played in the last few games because there is no hope of winning, because the Lakers have played strong teams in recent games. Some people even say that James is currently playing in order to brush the data and maintain his position as the scoring king.
Regardless of how the outside comments are made, Lao Zhan should still focus on the court in the future, minimize communication with the outside world, and there is no need to pay attention to controversial topics. Everything that leads the team to victory will naturally come. Dear officials, how do you evaluate James's approach to off-the-court remarks? Welcome to leave a comment.
