Quotes

"Scottie Pippen thinks LeBron James(notes) might become a greater player than Michael Jordan. James isn’t so sure – but he’s also not ruling out the possibility."

Scottie Pippen said that he thinks Lebron is going to be one of the greatest players ever.

"I want to be in that moment," James said. "Winning and holding that trophy up."

Lebron is saying that he can not wait until he wins his first championship.

 It is so easy to criticize James' résumé as a player because it lacks one of these moments. But the critics will never drive this reality home more than James does to himself. It's something he doesn't just think about, but finds himself obsessing over.

Everyone wants to criticize Lebron only because he hasn't won a championship.  People also criticize him because hes one of the best.

The Reason Behind My Topic

The reason that I chose Lebron James is because he's one of the greatest basketball players ever.  Also he is a great role model.  Plus some people don't like him so that motivates him. And ever since he's came out of high school he has been very good.  His stats have been through the roof also.  So these are the reason for my blog pick being Lebron.  Thanks for following me!!!
