[資訊] The New Face Of the NBA

[Reaves (我是龜兔賽跑的兔子)]

By Oscar Robertson <Time>

In some respects, the influence LeBron James has on the game of
basdetball was preordained. The NBA had been searching for, even
trying to create, a new icon to help market the league.Fresh out of
high school, the 6-ft. 8-in. James was viewed as the One. He signed
a big contract with Nike, even as sales of many athlete-endorsed
shoe lines were declining. James has had high expectations thrust
upon him from the moment he was drafted.

It won't be easy living up to the hopes. While his talent has already
established James, at age 20, as a bona fide star, he will need to be
noncotroversial and politically correct, something even Michael Jordan
took a while to learn.but in one respect, james could become even more
influential than Jordan was. With so many players coming into the NBA
fundamentally deficient, James' solid all-around skills can have a
positive influence on keds and how they play the game. His improvement
between his first and what is now his second season showed dedication
and a desire to improve.
There will soon be pressure on James to lead Cleveland into the league's
elite-and ultimately to a title. I went through the same thing with
Cincinnati in the 1960s. While my statistics may have been impressive,
the city would not be satisfied-until I had a championship ring. It was
only after I moved to Milwaukee that my team won a championship.
James seems to understand that this is a team game, that individuals
do not win titles. He appeats level-headed and graceful in dealing with
his notoriety, his good fortune and the high expectations. It isn't
easy because people in his position attract a lot of instant "friesds."

James' next step, if he so chooses, is to become a leader and inspire
his teammates to play better as a unit. Cleveland isn't there yet.
As James matures, will he develop the confidence to lead the effort
to improve the team? Or will he play out his contract and move to a
franchise that knows how to put together consistent winners? Either way,
many consider him the new face of the NBA.
