As a reminder, there are less than 10 hours left before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games open. At 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on July 27, Paris will hold the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. The time is awkward, originally I didn't want to see it, but since James served as the flag bearer of the United States delegation, then I definitely have to see the bottom.
James is the first NBA flag bearer in the history of the United States Olympic Games, and his significance is extraordinary. United States athletes at the Olympics voted, and James received the highest number of votes and was elected. This is not only an affirmation of James' basketball career, but also a tribute to him as an athlete spiritual leader.
Now that United States athletes can participate in the Olympic Games, James has the highest global reputation and commercial value. According to Forbes, James' current net worth is $1.2 billion, making him the first athlete in Olympic history to be worth more than $1 billion.
Our official media, the People's Daily, also published a Weibo some time ago, promoting a wave of James. You look at James's influence.
The United States men's basketball team continues to train in Paris today, and James and Curry seem to be getting more and more acquiescent.
"Playing with LeBron is exactly what I envisioned, and LeBron has a very deep understanding of the game and is one of the greatest athletes in history," Curry said. If you find players who know how to play on the court, usually good things happen. ”
James put on his new generation of Nike LeBron 22 boots in training, what do you think?
By the way, there is an incident that has caused a lot of controversy today.
According to NBA reporter Sam Amico, a Lakers player who participated in the summer league gave an anonymous interview. Speaking about Bronny, he said, "You can feel that there is not a lot of unity between us because Bronny is the main character and the others don't think he deserves that position. ”
"I mean, Brownie was treated like an outlier, not like all of us. It's annoying and we don't feel any chemistry in our group of players. I was very frustrated after the summer league because I was never scheduled in the best of circumstances, not even some tactical or game plan because they wanted Bronny to show his skills and style. ”
"There was a lot of tension everywhere and we almost all wanted to get out of here after summer league and focus on the next step in our careers."
Aside from Knecht and Castleton, no one on the Lakers team in summer league has played better than Bronny. I feel like the anonymous player is incompetent, after all, the vast majority of players who play in Summer League can't stay on the team and can't make it into the NBA's regular rotation. The team is also only trying to develop their own rookies, and they are not going to keep those who are on contract for a few days.
In this year's Summer League, Bronny played in 6 games, averaging 25.2 minutes per game, scoring 7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal and 0.8 blocks, shooting 32.7% from the field and 13% from three-point range.
In the first 4 games, Bronny played unsatisfactory. But since he was complained by Jaylen Brown that he was "not a professional player", Bronny suddenly woke up, and in the next two games, he averaged 12.5 points, 3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 block per game, shooting 47.6% from the field, 38% from three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line, and the Lakers won two consecutive victories.
If it weren't for the end of Summer League, the Bronny stats would have been more comprehensive if the momentum continued.
is still the same sentence, Bronny and his father James are on the same team, and they are bound to suffer from all kinds of gossip from time to time, and the only thing to do is to break through the barrier in their hearts, play steadfastly on the road of chasing their dreams, and prove themselves step by step.
