LeBron James wants the season to pick up, just to pass Jordan ?

Not a lot of players, to begin with Kyrie Irvingthink that it might be better not to restart this season. But LeBron James do not share this opinion. And some, even if it is off, do not hesitate to assert that the arguments of the King are very personal. Or even selfish ?

It is known now, there has been this weekend with a conference call bringing together a large package of players to discuss whether to resume the season NBA or not. Kyrie Irving and many NBAers think it would be better not to interrupt the fight against discrimination. Or not to “divert” the public from this cause, offering a spectacle which accounted for a part of the news. In short, don’t fall into the” Panem and circenses “,” bread and games “this phrase is used to denounce the policy of the roman emperors to propose to the people to eat and games to attract the benevolence of the people. And fell asleep.

A debate as old as the world divides so the NBA players. Should we boycott the resumption to devote all the energy to fight and especially not to propose a topical to calm the protesters and, therefore, to serve their cause ? Or should he instead use this end-of-season NBA as a platform to reach even more people ? This debate divided the league. And even the teams, like the Los Angeles Lakers where Dwight Howard is rather side Kyrie Irving when LeBron James wants a resumption of the season. LBJ refused to participate in the meeting.

For more and more people in the league, this would be for personal reasons rather than reasons of political strategy for the fight. This is Pat Beverley, who implied in a tweet to several levels of reading. In off, of the General Managers believe that LeBron James is determined to finish the season because he knows that the next two years will have a significant impact on his legacy.

“It is definitely in the discussion, but is it that someone can say that it is better ? No, not yet, ” says a leader of a franchise to ESPN about his duel with Michael Jordan for the status of GOAT . “He is going to need to win five titles at least. “

A leader of the West think of him, what with four titles, LeBron James would go ahead of Michael Jordan. And that is why we will absolutely ensure that the season’s NBA resume :

“LeBron is going to ensure that these games in Orlando will be played, because he knows that he could have a huge impact on his legacy. He knows that to glean a title or two additional is the potential tipping point to become the GOAT), and he is determined to go look for them. “

Under-heard : at his age, he will no longer thirty-six opportunities to get a ring.

Then of course, we must not see LeBron James as a selfish who doesn’t care for the combat against discrimination and the movement Black Lives Matter. It has been widely proven that he used his voice more than anyone else to these causes. But for a few votes in the league, his personal situation greatly affects the way in which he thinks that the fight must be conducted.

Is it really a wrong ? Maybe boycott is a strong solution, that will mark the spirits. It is even safe. But is it shameful to want to carry the fight all the while trying to continue to do his job and his passion ? Whether to nab titles. Or, for players of lesser calibre, to be paid and continue to play.
