James in Motel s eyes was ready to compete in the NBA at the age of 18

Recently, Houston Rockets legend Motie Yunas was a guest on a show. When asked about his feelings after being selected by the NBA, Motie immediately said that when he was selected by the NBA at the age of 21, he did not dare to play all season. Later, even when he officially debuted at the age of 22, his health was far from reaching the NBA level confrontation level.

Motai also said that no one in the league can be fully prepared when he first entered the NBA, even the No. 1 pick is no exception, because when young players fight against 30-year-old players, the natural gap in strength is an insurmountable gap. The Motel Rockets played 44 games in their debut season, averaging 12.2 minutes per game, contributing 5.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists, shooting 43% from the field, and only played once in the playoffs, scoring 5 points and 1 rebound.

But Motel then changed his subject and said that the only preparations for the rookie season in NBA history is LeBron James. The 18-year-old LeBron has been a mature man since he first entered the league. American players have far surpassed Europeans in physical development speed, and TeBron is one of the best.

Indeed, the 18-year-old James showed unparalleled physical fitness and comprehensive basketball talent in his rookie season. He averaged 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game, and shot 41.7% from the field. Looking at the history of the NBA, it is probably difficult for the best Jordan and Kobe to compete with James in this regard!
