Who is James, that is the first person in the NBA, even if he is 37 years old, no one can shake his first-man position. It is not that he is too strong, but the opponent is old and old, and the injury can be said to be a fight that can not be played. James became famous at a young age, and at the age of 18, he was only a high school student, and he was famous all over the United States. Why James is so famous, when drafting, unlike Duncan to attract the team to grab it, today we have the answer.
First of all, Duncan, his draft that year was to cause the league to be crazy, and the team was not ashamed to lose, but it was worth rejoicing, because the more he lost, the greater the chance of choosing Duncan by lottery. Duncan's performance at university was too good, and it was completely crushed in the same class. He showed amazing talent in college, and in the eyes of many scouts, he will at least be an All-Star in the future.
Coupled with Duncan's promise to finish college before the draft, then his time to participate in the draft is very clear, then the league bad team has enough time to wait for Duncan. Duncan was so dazzling that he really didn't have a rival who could fight, so for Duncan, the whole league was crazy. For the team, with Duncan there is a future, and it turns out that the Spurs really earned blood. 5 times in 19 years to lead the team to win the championship, Duncan is really good.
Looking at James again, to say performance, James high school performance exceeded Maddy and Kobe Bryant in the same period. Not only did he achieve the honor harvest, but he also became the best high school student of the year, and he was the only player who enjoyed the treatment of live broadcast in the United States as a high school student, and James's popularity really exploded.
However, James is always a high school student, and there is still uncertainty about the future, so many teams are still in a wait-and-see state. Betting on a high school student with a bad team, there has never been such a case in history.
Finally, there were many strong competitors at that time, Anthony won the NCAA championship, Wade did well, and Bosh was also excellent. Even Milisic, the head of the parallel goods list, was eye-catching in the Europa League, so James did not have an overwhelming advantage.
So in summary, this is why the James draft is not as sensational as Duncan!
