Beijing time on September 28, recently, former NBA player, once the Clippers boss Byron Davis in an interview with the media, praised the Lakers star LeBron James, as a player who once competed with James, these years have witnessed James's step-by-step growth, Byron Davis said that he was deeply impressed by James, he is a quality idol.
First of all, Byron Davis said bluntly that James became famous at a young age and was highly anticipated in high school, but in the face of money and fame, as well as various pressures, James can solve well, always adhere to his own path, and always help others.
Byron said bluntly: "Did this dude have a year off?" Have you had a week off? Can we leave him alone with his family and children for even a month? Can they take a month off? Because he has been on a mission since the first day he entered the industry, he has been taking on a heavy responsibility. He assumed his fame when he entered the league. Then he started taking on more, and he started shouldering the whole league. All those Miami things, we all know of guys as talented as he is, you definitely need some help. That gave him the ability to take on the responsibility of carrying the alliance. ”
From The words of Byron Davis, it can be seen that he recognizes James not only because of His athleticism, but also because of His contribution off the court, he believes that James is a brilliant philanthropist and leader, speaking out for athletes, contributing to his hometown, and he even believes that James should enjoy the same respect as Obama, because they are all the pride of black people.
Byron Davis said, "What did he do wrong? Get athletes to get more money, give them a voice, support athletes, support women athletes and athletes in other sports, invest in teams, and more. Ordinary people can't do that, and this is what a black man we know as well is doing it... So we should give LeBron James the same respect we have when we treat Obama. Because he has taken on many heavy responsibilities, and he has opened many doors. ”
Since entering the NBA, James has not existed as a simple player, he has always been willing to become a leader off the court, to speak out for his compatriots, to help them live better, and to continue to do charity so that Cleveland's children can have a good education, and because of this, James continues to gain the respect of black players and others. In fact, this is not the first time that someone has linked James to Obama or the president.
As early as the 19-20 season, Cousins, who was still in the Lakers at the time, said bluntly in an interview with the media that he directly told James that if James went to the president, he would definitely vote for James, cousins said at the time: "I told him the other day that he might be angry at me for saying this, but I said, 'Brother, you need to run for president.'" I'm not talking nonsense, if any NBA player can do it, it's LeBron James. I will absolutely vote for him. ”
It must be admitted that James's career may have some choices or behaviors that are controversial, but this does not prevent him from becoming a high-quality idol, he treats his wife loyally, treats his mother filial piety, treats his brothers honestly and righteously, and treats his hometown with full dedication, as many fans say, if he can have a friend like James, it is actually a very lucky thing.
