“How Do I Make It About Myself During a Playoff Game”: NBA Fans Livid as LeBron James Accused of Hogging Attention During Bucks vs Celtics

LeBron James was always the “chosen one”. Ever since his high school days, he was the undisputed phenom of basketball, who was destined to be the next great thing. And it is a testament to LeBron’s greatness that he not only achieved what was expected from him but surpassed it too.

In a recently viral clip, we can see LeBron from his high school days. It is a segment from Sportscenter which covers one of LeBron’s high school games. Look at the clip below. Even the King commented on it.

Wow it’s been awhile since I’ve seen that footage. Weight of the world on the shoulders on #ThekidfromAKRON https://t.co/nj1hj3xIe7

Lakers this season

This season was seen as an overall failure for the Lakers as they failed to even qualify for the play-in tournament. They were one of the pre-season favorites for the NBA Championship. They traded for Westbrook in a huge trade, which eventually hampered their team chemistry.

LeBron – The savior

When the Cleveland Cavaliers drafted LeBron, he was looked at as a savior for a franchise that looked like the worst in the league and had never even made the NBA Finals. Though they didn’t qualify for the postseason in his first two seasons, he led them to the NBA Finals in his fourth season.
