      @STS Tech The only thing which Zion beats Lebron at this age is his athletic ability (Lebron still one of the biggest physical phenomenons ever at his age), Zion has a ceiling which could exceed Lebron but its going to be near impossible. Let the young man be himself shouldn't really be comparing a rookie with 0 games to an all-time top 3 player anyway.

    This building held 17,317 fans and I'm blessed to say I was one of the people in attendance that night.
    My grandparents used to work at Arco Arena where the Sacramento Kings used to play and since she
    worked in Management she received season tickets from 1986 to 2005 before they both retired. I was
    luck enough to attend thousands of Sacramento Kings games over the years. I miss seeing them live.
    We knew Lebron and the hype that night of having earned a 100 million dollar shoe deal before playing
    in his first ever NBA game, but we had no idea he'd become what he is today.

    I watched his fourth NBA game (against the Nuggets -- Carmelo was also a rookie) in an airport bar. The guy on the stool next to me was glued to the game, chuckling and shaking his head at some of the things LeBron was doing. After a while, we started talking, and he pointed out how LeBron was positioning himself on the court like a 10-year veteran. How he had the vision to make passes that set up the next pass. How he was funneling people on defense to the right spots. Turns out, the guy was an assistant basketball coach at a D1 school in California. Unlike me, he KNEW the game. And he knew what he was seeing was transcendent. At that point, I realized that maybe, for once, all the hype was deserved. Best flight delay I've ever had.

      Maybe a few more years, he’s still playing strong even at 38

    The fact that they were asking him questions like he was a 10 yr vet goes to show the expectations they put on Bron from day 1

    First words were “I could have done better.” Fucking legend. He knew what was coming.

    Two highlights above the actual highlights are 1. Him talking in the huddle on game 1. Rookies did not talk back then. He was already telling what he sees. 2. His halftime interview at 18 years old. Lebron was designed specifically for what he is doing in life. The rare human that fulfills his actual destiny.
