LeBron couldn't mentor a bag of potatoes... stop that nonsense.
I hope Wiggins goes to a team with a good GM and Coach who teach the kid the right way to play the game, instead of taking 5 steps to dunk the ball, or flop like Neymar like LeBron does. Not that the Wolves have that, but at least watching Wiggins play with Rubio would be fun. The best thing that can happen to Wiggins and Bennett is getting away from the Cavs. Remember the game is played with just a basketball to share with those ballhogs Irving and Waiters, and now "The Chosen One".
And yeah, the Cavs would be insane to trade Wiggins for Avi Lee with a 3-point shot, but LeBron isn't getting any younger, and by the time Wiggins and Bennett are able to improve their games, LeFlop will be too old to dominate games anymore. Talk about windows closing...
Can't wait for that Love for Wiggins+Bennett trade to happen, and then watch the Cavs fail miserably for the next 3 years
To the contrary, I think LeBron has the personality to be a great tutor to Wiggs. In that respect he is not a screamer like Kobe or even MJ. He seems more generous (would Kobe have agreed to take a discount like LBJ did with the Heat 4 years ago?) and this trait is reflected in his game, which is very team oriented, similar to Magic and Bird in that regard. To equate him to Waiters and Irving makes no sense.
I wasn't comparing him to Irving or Waiters, who are the ballhogs, but LeBron also needs the ball in his hands, and they still only have one basketball to share.
LeBron is only about himself, you need a more mature personality to mentor anyone, and LeBron talks like a 10 year-old spoiled brat. "I could shoot 40-50-90 if I made it my goal" doesn't sound like a mature guy.
LeBron can't teach his game, because his game is based on his freak athleticism, his ability to handle the ball, his crab dribble and an improving (credit to his hard work) jumpshoot. He's a physical monster, a great basketball player, but not a leader in my book. Bird had 10 times more skill and was 10 times the leader LeBron is, but we live in ESPN/Nike/Stern-Silver NBA where MJ is the GOAT and LBJ is the 'Chosen One'. But that's another story.
LeBron took a discount to get more endorsements, he wasn't taking one for the team. He also was giving up that money to buy easy championships so he could build his legacy as a winner. Generous? I don't think so.
Of course, compared to MJ or Kobe, LBJ is a nice kid, but a spoiled brat in the end.
