LeBron James, all 6-feet-8 and 250 pounds of him, evokes an ethos akin to a Greek God, rather than a professional basketball player. He’s a runaway freight train capable of bending any defense to his own will. He’s a modern day savant, possessing one of the sharpest basketball minds in the history of the game.
LeBron, chiseled like a superhuman, is the NBA’s closest equivalent to Superman, an alien from another planet with boundless power and limitless abilities. LeBron is not a mere mortal playing the game at the highest level; he’s a once-in-a-generation basketball force unto himself.
