All tagged Lebron James
When Lebron James broke Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s all time points scoring record in the NBA last week, he did so with about 10 seconds still to go in the third quarter.
As soon as he scored that 38,388th point, the game was paused and celebrations ensued. His family came onto the court along with the press and a host of others.
Near the end of Crypto.com’s SuperBowl commercial earlier this year, in which Lebron James goes back in time to talk to his 17 year old self, the younger Lebron asks his future self what’s most on his mind:
“Is the hype too much? Am I ready?”
He’s looking for reassurance, of course, some certainty that the choices he’s about to make, the risks he’s about to take, are the right ones. Valid concerns for a 17 year old.
A platform is a byproduct of success.
What I mean by that is that success in any given field results in not only the usual rewards (economic gain, career progression, industry recognition, etc.), it also provides us with a voice. We’re sought out by our community and those interested in, and impacted by, our work. They want to hear from us, and are ready to give us the opportunity to speak, to be heard.
