LeBron was born with most of his talent. A regular guy could work on his game 12 hours a day and LeBron could beat him even if he worked at his game 2 hours a day. He was born with privilege. Basketball privilege! You are either born with it or you aren't..
@@kevinleewilliams5119Taking care of yourself don’t mean a thing when we’re talking about a guy who’s never had a major injury. He’s genetically gifted. His work ethic is shown in his ability to play well at his age but to dodge injuries is just a blessing.
@@369pendulum im sure whats hes trying to say is or atleast what bron does is im sure bron has had many injuries its just he spends millions in his health alone which is why hes never had a serious injury so you cant js blame it on luck on why he hasnt had a serious injury
I'm from DC I had this Jewish friend of mine from Pittsburgh RIP Chuck who told me about this kid from Akron Ohio, he told me the guys name was Lebron James said he was the greatest high school player he had ever seen and the kid was only 15, I didn't really pay it no attention until I saw the SI cover, Good call Chuck
I played football and graduated in 03 I’m from Miami. I knew about Bron but as a TE playing football. I have a friend who boxed and when were maybe 15 he fought a few times in Akron. He told us about Lebron. Then I saw him in a scholastic sports magazine as a hooper. Down here we had a weekend show dedicated to Florida hs athletes but also showcased national athletes and I saw Bron’s highlights and was like whoa…. Then I saw him on ESPN and we knew back then he was destined we hadn’t seen anything like that and it’s wild some of my former teammates remind each other about how we talked about him in the locker room at that time even our coaches asked if we heard about or saw that kid from Ohio.. and till this day it’s still like Whoa how are you still doing this
@mickjohnson9784 @mrstanbmw Was born in fort Lauderdale and raised in FL but live on the west coast now. You guys getting me hyped with these stories like lebron was some type of myth but I actually think about it he is a legend, was a legend, and will always forever be a legend

This is the difference between LeBron and his contemporaries. He was expected to be great at 15. Not coming out of college a high draft pick. Bruh was a freshman in high school and he was supposed to be the next biggest things in the league.
@@Fakename70and it all went to his head and he never quite became what they thought he would do he started flopping and the nba had to bend over backwards to keep the nba relevant.

@@LC-go1uh nah man, he’s old now, you can say that when he was 22 years old. He’s almost 40 and still one of the best players in the league. That’s hard work and dedication. That’s spending millions of dollars on your body each year. That’s going to the gym everyday and practicing harder than the rookies. That’s not something your born with. Think of Shaq. He didn’t put the work in, so he became a 300 pound sack of potatoes who could barely run or jump.
My aunt lives in Cleveland and I remember in The year 2000 , I visited her. Her neighbors kids were around my age and I used to play ball. I’ll never forget , one of the kids were like “yo you should come to our indoor gyms, there’s this kid named Lebron , he’s amazing”. I was born in 1983 btw. 😂
I would’ve been better than Lebron. Just if I was a little bit faster and more athletic. And taller, could jump higher and shoot better. Also better passing and vision and strength. Aside from that I would’ve easily been better
If Ron Artest was lying I promise you Jordan would have his media fanboys come out and refute the story. Even Michael himself would say it's a lie. Ron Artest is definitely not the type to fabricate a story.
Why would Mike refute that Bron was nice at 15 lol he didn’t say he cooked Mike unless you’re stretching it and if it has to be stretched no one cares about it
I think he’s lying about remembering the whole story. EVERYBODY would vividly remember playing with Jordan and Lebron on the same court regardless of how many games you played in your career.

Will never be another LeBron. 40,000+pts, top three all-time in assists. And still playing some of the best basketball in the league at 39. Never be another like him. G.O.A.T.
If Doncic stays healthy he will be above 40.000. And you will see how many players of this era will be in the top 10 scoring. Check scoring per possession.
15 and could be in the league playing grown men is a statement in its self. I was watching his highlights at like 16 and 17 as was amazed how fast and agile he was.
It's LAUGHABLE..... Here you have a former pro who was in his own right... a " man child" ( Artest) physically, testify " 100%" that Bron could've played in the league @ 15. Still...the detractors swear it's " a lie " . Lol....the emotional energy it must take to be so spiteful. 👑
It disturbs their Life-Long media embellished , Puffed-Up 'Fantasy' image of mik being the so-called 'greatest' ??? ! ... That's why so many of them put their head in the sand , & act Oblivious to these Certified Professional Accounts of lebron ! ...
He said he was 15 or 16. I don’t doubt it, but we don’t really know what age he was from this clip. He could’ve maybe even been 17. Edit: Looked it up. He was 16. This pickup game happened in 2001. LeBron was born in late December of 1984. So he was 16 and about to turn 17 in a few months.
Everyone arguing about MJ vs Lebron but the craziest part is Ron only being 5 years older than Lebron. Ron was at the tail end of his prime in Kobe's last championship run, and Lebron has played in 8 finals since then!
Ron not nearly as talent, was taking the most gruesome jobs that were defending on the 2000 was crazy physical and definitely not spending dollars on the best food, recovery treatment and top notch peds
I measure players importance on a team when they leave a team.Cleveland went from the top of the east to last place when LBJ left both times and Miami with Wade and Bosh didn't make the playoffs the yr after he left. The Bull still won 53 games(2 less wins) and was a bad call from ECF when Jordan left.
@@alyjulmim8447 Did Lebron take the Cavs to the finals without Kyrie in 2018 or not....WTF be quiet when a grown man talking 🤡🤡When he went to Lakers the next yr the Cavs were last in the east

15 damn!! i was grown man size 235lb 6ft but not big as Lebron. I played Mo Willams in freshman vs seniors 😅🤷🏾♂️but damn play Jordan @15 i would be in dream mode!!thats crazy
@chopp-it-up-wit-vegga cool, I went to Mississippi State and transferred to Bama and saw Mo play in college. He was smooth and silky. I never thought he'd last in the league but he did his thing being that he was probably only about 6'1" maybe 2".
@@desotohybrid2175 that don't matter, I'm only talking about the hype and potential. Nobody knew Bron would achieve this much after his rookie year. Cut the bs
This what I say all the time Jordan plays that way cause he was trash at that age so he trying to kill everybody Lebron been so nice he plays team first then scores
The GOAT at losing in the finals you mean. How can you lose 6 times in the finals and be anywhere close to being in the GOAT discussion. Just stop the nonsense. The facts are simple. MJ was undefeated in the NBA Finals at 6-0 on the biggest stage where it matters most, while LeBron is a lowly 4-6 and will likely never win another title.
@@LuisMotta06 1-9 Jerry West is in the finals... So you just proved that you would Lie to help your argument, you have no credibility now, word of advice, STOP LYING
A lot of nba legends have stories like this, even KG was cooking nba players around 15-16 I wouldn’t say that makes him one of one. What really makes him one of one is something like his all time scoring record in the nba lmao.
Yeah, he remember, he just don't want that call from Jordan. Remember when Pippen got that call from Jordan for saying LeBron is better???? Must've taken him to puffy house or something
That's where hater fans need to give lebron credit. Nobody has ever come into the nba with so much expectations. Since he was 13 we were told he's the next jordan. And lived up to it.
Well kinda. If he didn't jump between multiple teams with players who were already all stars, we could play he lived up to it. He's a supeteam GOAT. If he didn't jump teams, his career would have ended the same way Karl Malone's career was. He never had what MJ or Kobe had. Imagine if Kobe or MJ played with Wade and Bosh, Kyre and Love, or AD...unlimited wins
@ChillDude123 excatly even than bosh was overrated he wasn't this superstar like people try to make it seem and wade was on the decline. Lebron didn't play with 06 level wade. If he did they would've won 4 rings.
@kevinorellanaable you're delusional. Wade and Bosh were ranked top 5 with Lebron 4 years in a row. 3 of those years was when they played in Miami together. Nice try though
So at 15 he was giving nba players a problem and he gotten better since then really makes me think why is so hard for these players to say he's the goat I think their ego won't except a person younger than them as the goat
It was nice to see Gloria James supporting her son even way back then. I used to see on tv cheering him sidelines at the games all the time. She never stopped being there. That’s great 😁❤
And this is why he’s the goat. That alone. My guy was a pro at 15. And has been playing at an elite top ten level since 15 he’s now 39 let that sink in. And STILL GOING.
He is no where near the one true goat.michael jordan.and he has had 20 yrs to catch him.its over.nice try.who got next?my guy will stand the test of time!
@@rickross7257 ?? So you’re telling me you’re penalizing a man because he took care of his body and didn’t do out drinking and gambling every night after a game like Jordan and got fat ? That’s what you’re telling me ? It’s not Lebrons fault that his longevity is top tier. He worked for it. Jordan could never be Bron he was trash after that bulls run.
One thing we never discuss but is important. I truly think when you have the support system LeBron has, it’s hard to fail. There’s athletes with elite genetics and abilities just like Bron, but without support systems in place that keep you focused, paired with an exceptional work ethic, they always fall by the wayside.
Bottom Line, This is Why People Hate Him and Should be Giving the Bro a Break…the weight of the World at such a Young age and that was not his Doing!!!!
@@ASalahSamak well, that’s the way of the world today, nobody is satisfied with what they have, everybody is looking for some type of enhancement 🤔. This is sports and everybody points at Lebron for the BIG 3 😂 you don’t think that was The GM Pat Reilly that wanted that really Bad and Signed off on it…Lebron takes heat (no pun) but Pat will go down as one of the Greatest GM’s with one of the Greatest off season signings 🤷🏾♂️
@@logicalbrother broski I don’t think they’re considering it any team is looking to draft bronny just to bring Lebron in for his last 1-2 season. Just imagine the revenue the games will make when he announces his last season!!! but to your point it just shows that you really appreciate the game from your comment because we know as hoopers that seeing him play 20+ years at that level and still arguably top 5 in the world. we have never seen in the history of professional sports!!

MJ been in LBJ rearview mirror sense passing him in playoff points in 2017.According to his haters it was easy for LBJ to take five different coaches to ten finals because he only won 4... while them SYSTEM PLAYERS like MJ and Kobe never won jack shit without Phil Jackson SYSTEM.
@@logicalbrother Jordan has x2 rings, x2 FMVPs, x1 MVP, x1 DPOY more than LeBron. Thats a KD career gap (in fact better) between them two. That rearview mirror seems to be broken lmao.

@@skyh2394 🥱Not impressed..like I said those chips are a team accomplishment.LBJ is a better individual bball player...just bigger stronger faster and more accurate or efficient as far as their career field goal percentage.I could list a million things but I can't change your mind just like you can't change my mind.
So basically Jordan couldn’t dominate a 15 year old Lebron but y’all think he’s better than Lebron. C’mon now. Ron Artest isn’t the one to fabricate a story
Ron Artest is 🧢 big time, the question was : When a 15 yr old LBJ was playing a pickup game (against) a 38yr old MJ. While at the same time showing a clip of LBJ blocking someone shot from behind as if that’s MJ or someone else from the NBA 🧢🧢🧢🧢 more 🧢.

He was really good at 15 yrs old but not yet NBA ready. I seen him as a freshman and sophomore in my home state of Ohio. He wasn’t ready yet, I’m not sure why they make type of statements on videos like this to somewhat create an urban legend on top of the story we actually know exist.
Word.... Like I know we all seen bron play in highschool. He wasn't making the league at that size and stage of his game. Ron just telling a good story
Who the hell in 2001 was carrying a camera around in their pocket? I sure as hell wasn't carrying a whole freaking camera in my pocket back then. You're so dumb. Not only this but there's proof of them playing on the same court together. There's a polaroid picture of a 15 year old Lebron James standing next to Michael Jordan on a basketball court and eyewitnesses from other NBA players who were involved in the pickup game including Lebron James who said when he went to Chicago that day and saw Michael Jordan it looked like Jordan was walking on water.
I remember seeing LBJ on that sports illustrated cover at sweet 16 and thought no kid can ever live up to this kind of hype at such a young age? Boy was I wrong! Not only did he live up to the billing he exceeded it! True athlete, family Man, and Gentlemen 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
