His Impact On Me:

LeBron James has had such a significant impact on me as I have enjoyed basketball for many years. As a kid, my dad would often talk about many great basketball players. Kevin Love, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, Allen Iverson, etc. But one player that really caught my eye was LeBron James. I always wondered what made him different from the rest. In 2013, my parents bought the game NBA 2K13, which is a game about basketball and uses actual NBA players and incorporates their statistics into the game. As a kid, I would try to find the best team in order to win, and the team that caught my eye was the Miami Heat. At the time, LeBron James was on the team. And I was dominating against my brother with the Miami Heat, and I would always be playing as LeBron. Running towards the net and dunking the ball. From then on, I always remembered the name LeBron James, and later on, I heard that he was up for discussion as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) of basketball. Right there against MJ (Michael Jordan) who made basketball popular. The effort that LeBron put on the court has always inspired me, and even today, as currently the oldest player still playing the game, he can still hustle up and down the court, putting in the same effort that he did 20 years ago.
