    Watching this 20 years later in 2022 gives me chills. The commentators were great here; acknowledging the potential threats he could face as a young super star was especially insightful. 20 years later, he has stayed far away from all these troubles, and consistently stayed a great athlete. Consistently stayed a champion.
    Also, this video proves that a supportive family member helps you go a long, long way. Watching his mom cheering and jumping up and down just made my eyes watery.

    Coming back to this video reminds me of something Doc Rivers said. LeBron's expectations out of high school were literally to be the best player in basketball, and somehow he exceeded those. Regardless of whether you want to talk about Kobe (RIP), Kareem, Magic, etc. the only player who you can argue is better than LeBron James is the best player who has ever laced up shoes. I'm a Chicago guy so I'll never forgive LeBron for breaking my heart, but it's almost hard to believe what he's accomplished.

MJ. people will argue about anything so it doesn't matter to me, who says MJ is one, and there certainly is a case for it. I've seen all 3 play, and LBJ is the Greatest all around player ever, and for longevity without doubt.
