Imagine struggling in algebra 2 then having to face Lebron

13:38 vitale says "please surround yourself with people that care" 18 yrs later no arrests no bad publicity his close circle are all bosses and millionaires. bron is really that dude

[fp]

Some dude was sitting in class knowing he had to guard lebron on national television

[jeffk]

Just realised how good reporters were at their jobs back then. this commentary was absolutely gold

[tennaj]

🤔 The fact that LeBron James was the most hyped High School athlete in the history of the world is one thing, . the fact that he ACTUALLY EXCEEDED those expectations is a whole another thing all together! 😳🤯🤯

"I'm not saying he's Magic" - 17 years later he's leading the league in assists playing PG for The Lakers.

Imagine being 17 and being compared to MJ and Magic.
And 20 years later the conversation is still going on.

Amazing that 21 years later, I get to see LeBron still playing today. Had a triple double this afternoon with 28, 11, and 17 assists at age 39. He keeps living up to those Magic comparisons. Respect to the king 👑

It’s interesting how the commentators literally forecasted his entire career almost perfectly.

[passiveaggresiverussian]

They should do a “where are they now” kind of video with this kid. I’d love to know how he’s doing

[OGwakarican]

8:55 “There aren’t many guys in the NBA who make their teamates more efficient. I think he has that potential” WOW. Perfectly predicted

[FlyWithMe_]

A random guy called Skip Bayless was watching this game and was like “… wow, I can build a whole career around this kid”

[Truthseeekerr]

Bron been going against the warriors since a youngin

[skyebunny]

dang, he surpassed and exceeded all their expectations.

[LuCidRayn]

I'm watching this immediately after he just broke Kareem's record. Absolute legendary moment in history as he will continue to blow minds across the world.

[DwadeFLSHMV]

“If he’s half as good as all I’ve heard about him, he’s gonna he one special athlete”. Turns out he’s twice as good as everyone thought lol

[coreylewis]

20 years later he did all that
Stayed healthy
Kept good people around him
Kept his work ethic

[averyross]

They managed to talk about ONE player the ENTIRE game😂 greatness!!

[biggucci]

I’m watching this after he had played on a injured foot in the playoffs and still dropped 40. WHAT A LEGEND

[ToBeatTheMan]

Lebron was so dominant in high school dawg it's not even fair
