Calm down, Yang Hansen, who ranked 16th in the first round, must face these five major challenges when entering the Trail Blazers!

"Iverson, Barkley, and Nash are not awesome? Just because you don't have a ring, you can't be on the same stage with someone with a championship?"
This is a classic soul question thrown by James in the show "Champion Culture".
sounds reasonable, right? But if you think about it carefully, is this really just a "reflection on champion first"?
I think - this is an extremely exquisite "self-defense". Who is LeBron's speech essentially talking about?
On the surface, he cited the examples of Iverson, Barkley, Nash, Jerry West, and Barry Bonds, as if he was speaking for the "great player without a crown."
But in fact, who is the person who most wants to "whitewash" this passage?
Yes, it's him himself - LeBron James.
You will find a very interesting phenomenon:
He has never been a "great player without a championship". He has 4 rings, a historical scoring champion, four MVPs, and a superstar across three eras.
But what is he most afraid of others saying?
"You are not GOAT."
To put it bluntly, he is not competing with "champion culture",
He is competing with "Jordan Myth" and "Kobe Belief".
What he thought was not "others deserve to be respected",
What he thought was- "Why do you say I am not the best in history?"
Why do you say he is "delicate and self-interested"?
Do you pay attention to the logic of his speech?
He will not deny the value of the championship, but he will say "you can't just look at the championship"
He will not compare himself to Jordan, but he will say "Then why can't people like me be discussed?"
Isn't this way of speaking very familiar?
Yes, this is a typical expression of "delicate self-interest" -
wants both the glory of the championship and the immunity of failure; be a ruler and a victim.
Other superstars have no championship, so they bear it silently;
James did not win the sixth championship, so he immediately wrote a complaint for himself.
After all, he is not against "champion culture",
He is against "you don't regard me as first".
The biggest gap between James and Jordan and Kobe is not football skills
To be honest, if James talks about football skills, efficiency, and dominance alone, he is fully qualified to strive for the first place in history.
But why can't he become an "undisputed belief" like Jordan and Kobe?
Because he is too good at calculating, cares too much about other people's opinions, and is too good at self-packaging.
Jordan and Kobe, never explain.
Their greatness is not achieved through debate, but through refusal to explain and directly crush you.
And what does James rely on?
Data, logic, interviews, media, public relations, documentaries, and a lot of defenses that "it seems like you're saying something reasonable."
His greatness is too "reasonable", but faith is unreasonable.
Why is James not liked? Because he is unwilling to "accept his fate"
Many people don't like James, not because he is not great, but because - he is unwilling to be the "second greatest".
Think about it carefully, those truly popular veterans, such as Nowitzki, Duncan, Iverson,
, accepted their destiny, walked their own player curve, and then - were gentlely commemorated by the whole world.
James is different. He is a man who is still trying to "prove himself first" at the age of 40.
This obsession with "reversing the will of heaven" made him constantly speak out, refute, and give examples - but it also seemed increasingly anxious.
He was unwilling to be compared with Jordan.
But he was unwilling to be "second in history" safely.
Therefore, he could only use the "champion culture" as a target and use other people's regrets to protect his own failures. There is nothing to argue about
James is always one of the greatest players in history.
But you cannot ask us, and you are also regarded as God.
You are a superstar, but you are not a belief.
You won four championships, but you didn't win "people's hearts".
It’s not that we brag about Jordan too ruthlessly, it’s that you want to be like him too much.
But sorry, Jordan doesn't need an explanation. No matter how much you say, it can only be controversial.
