Tiger Punch March 06 news Recently, former NBA player Jarvis Hayes was interviewed about Lakers forward LeBron James.

Hayes was the No. 10 pick in the 2003 draft and James was the pick. Hayes recalls his and James' experiences attending the "Flight Academy" training camp in 2002 at the same time as NBA star Michael Jordan.

"The first time I met Jordan," Hayes said, "you get the experience of 'Black Jesus, or whatever someone else describes it." He walked into the room as if he were wearing skates. You stare into his eyes, and he's like sliding around the room. ”

On the same day at the training camp, Hayes also saw James for the first time.

"Obviously, everyone knew who LeBron James really was, even though he was just a high school junior at the time. He went into the room and everyone was talking, 'I lean on, that's fucking LeBron James.' ’

"I was a junior, he was a senior, and he was in control of the room. He brought the same feeling of walking in the air and gliding around the room. The first time I experienced LeBron James and Michael Jordan was on the same day, it was the same experience. So, lean, I guess I experienced 'Black Jesus' twice. Hayes said.
