Live broadcast, February 8th news rocket assistant old Lucas reviewed the incident of James, who was still in high school at that time when he was the coach of the knight in an interview this week.
On May 22, 2002, old Lucas organized a training, and James, who was in senior three, participated in it. Since James’s participation in training violated the league’s regulations, that is, NBA teams were prohibited from contacting players who had not yet obtained the draft qualification, the league fined old Lucas 250000 dollars, he was banned in the first two matches of the next season and fined $150000 for the Cavaliers.
When talking about this, old Lucas recalled, “I knew James was special 20 years ago. When he was in the third grade of high school, I was banned for letting him play with our team, he was the best player on the court at that time. He is only in the third grade of senior high school and is already the best player on the court. I will never forget it. I set up Rick Adelman’s tactical routine, and he immediately turned the tactic into what it should be. James is a great scholar, and he is still a mind replete with knowledge.”
“The way James trained, the foundation he built in high school, he was ready for success. He can really pass the ball, but he only wants one thing: win.” Old Lucas continued, “James was born different. He is a perfect basketball player, taller and stronger than Michael Jordan, but he is the same in other aspects. These players-Michael Jordan, Kobe and James, you can see clearly that their bodies are different from ordinary people.”
