Watching this 20 years later in 2022 gives me chills. The commentators were great here; acknowledging the potential threats he could face as a young super star was especially insightful. 20 years later, he has stayed far away from all these troubles, and consistently stayed a great athlete. Consistently stayed a champion. Also, this video proves that a supportive family member helps you go a long, long way. Watching his mom cheering and jumping up and down just made my eyes watery. Incredible footage. What a role model. I hope all the best for LeBron James and his family.

Coming back to this video reminds me of something Doc Rivers said. LeBron's expectations out of high school were literally to be the best player in basketball, and somehow he exceeded those. Regardless of whether you want to talk about Kobe (RIP), Kareem, Magic, etc. the only player who you can argue is better than LeBron James is the best player who has ever laced up shoes. I'm a Chicago guy so I'll never forgive LeBron for breaking my heart, but it's almost hard to believe what he's accomplished.

If only he'd have won more NBA championships, instead of being 4-6 in NBA Finals at least be 5-5 or 6-4, I don't think anyone would argue he's the greatest to ever play the game. But because of his 4-6 championship record, Jordan will always have that 6-0 over him which will give enough for people to argue for eternity who is better.
