Chapter 377: Chapter 195: Su Wan and LeBron, Introspection on Leadership Qualities_3

A media person said, "This is more like the 04’ Los Angeles Lakers now!"

The New York Times once again launched a big move, "After proving his individual ability to lead a team, LeBron James’s leadership as a captain must also be proven. Every season since he entered the league, the Cavaliers’ locker room has always been chaotic!"

The first year, Ricky Davis unexpectedly said, "I thought he was here to support me." Bozer was discontent with the privileges he received;

The second year was Wan Su questioning his style of play;

The third year, Zhu Fangyu angrily accused him in front of the media of favoring old teammates and bullying rookies;

This year was even better, Shaquille O’Neal thought he only wanted to win games that revolved around his dazzling stats, and he would rather not win those games where he couldn’t get the "star treatment."

Compiling these four years of LeBron James...

Even the New York Times couldn’t help but complain, "If Isaiah Thomas is the most unqualified general manager in the league, then LeBron is the most unqualified team leader!"

However, from this, one could also see how solid a "Blood Bull" LeBron really is!

After enduring so many disturbances, Cleveland still recognizes him as Cleveland’s "City Son," and during this period, Cleveland’s media have always spoken for him.

The title "Chosen One" is really daunting!

But even the most solid "Blood Bull" has its day of being worn down.

"If LeBron is still unable to deliver a strong counterattack, the doubts from the outside world will only grow larger and eventually swallow him up!"

The influence of this article was immense, and what was more impactful was the poll launched by ESPN:

Do you think LeBron James is still the "Chosen One" now?

The final voting results showed that over 65% of people believed that LeBron is no longer the "Chosen One."

This reveals the impact that four years of successive devastating blows had on LeBron.

But Barkley still strongly questioned this result, believing the proportion of people who thought LeBron was no longer the "Chosen One" was too low, "ESPN definitely tampered with the backend data. I know too well how they operate!"

Even though Barkley is known as a "Big Mouth."

But this time, he wasn’t wrong, ESPN did indeed alter the final data. Originally, the proportion of people who determined LeBron was no longer the "Chosen One" exceeded 80%, but it was slightly reduced after Nike’s representatives negotiated with ESPN.

65% is already quite exaggerated!

If the original data were released, that would truly be a devastating blow!

Su Wan initially saw that 35% of fans still believed LeBron to be the "Chosen One" and couldn’t help but exclaim, "This guy’s health bar is really freaking thick!"

But once he saw Barkley’s criticism, he immediately realized that ESPN could really have falsified the data.

What honors does LeBron James have now?

Merely 2 times All-Star substitute, one "Third Best Team" position, and his highest moment was leading the team into the first round of the playoffs before being shaved bald by Su Wan.

Just relying on the name of "Chosen One" to survive until now?

You should know, the backlash of the media is very terrifying.

How glorious he was a few years ago, with his performance deteriorating over the years, the backlash should logically not just be this mild.

However, even after the alteration, supporters are only at 35%, and Su Wan can’t bear to guess how many there were before the alteration.

But...

Finally, that’s more like it!

This is the position LeBron should be in.

A guy who led his team to one finals in his first seven career years, got shaved bald, then ran off to another team to form the "Peak Three Giants"; afterward, he never lacked peak All-Star teammates, and yet kept clamoring to snatch the GOAT title from Michael Jordan.

After Su Wan got hacked, especially after working with LeBron in the Cavaliers, he had two objectives:

The first was naturally to try and snatch that coveted "GOAT" title; the second was to reveal the true form of LeBron James, just an ordinary superstar hyped up by the media, pretending to be a big deal!

Now it looks like the first step has been completed, pulling him down from the throne of the "Chosen One."

Next is a long battle of attrition...

Maintain suppression of LeBron, letting him see, after his career ends, a historical status that truly matches his character and capabilities.

Considering his subsequent series of team-building moves, Su Wan can be certain that this won’t be easy to achieve.

After all, a person who took his team to one final in the first seven years of his career, then entered the finals 8 times in the next 10 years - no matter how much Su Wan suppresses, there’s still some inflation in his team-leading record.

Don’t bring Michael Jordan into this again.

Just one thing, Michael Jordan didn’t change teams, his core sidekicks were plainly Pippen, "Cobra," and Rodman...

LeBron simply has no grounds to challenge Jordan on this matter.

Therefore, not great, LeBron’s team-leading record is still inflated.

But there’s nothing to be done, Su Wan could only do his best, as much as possible to let LeBron experience the real world.

He wants to pull LeBron out of the "Truman’s World" he imagines...
