    Funny how they started to win more once they traded Darius Miles. 😂😂😂 and him and Ricky Davis really thought that LeBron was gonna ride their coattails. Darius said after he got traded he felt like they got LeBron to get him more shots 😂😂😂💀

    00:00-58:07 - Lebron being on another level even at age 18.

    Great video Max!!!!! He was making clutch shots as a rookie as well. LeBron has surpassed all of the expectations that they thought he wouldn't live up to. That's why everything he does now is criticized. Because there really isn't anything to complain about when it comes to his career.

    amazing videos man, so far I've watched your two highschool vids on LeBron and now the two rookie season vids. I'm lookin forward to keep watching the rest! Love that you don't only include in-game highlights, but also everything LeBron did outside of the court. You do an amazing job at helping me understand how LeBron's young pro career was and the superstar status he's held since he was a teenager. Hopefully you end up doing LeBron's entire career while continuing to go this in-depth!

    LeBron got too big and strong. They didn't develop him physically the right way. They went power instead of finesse. LeBron had much better shooting touch as a rookie. He got tight from getting super crazy strong and had to relearn to shoot. Never got the touch back like he had coming into the league. And save me the shooting percentage argument. His shooting percentage went way up because he became dominant within 6-8 feet of the basket.
