‘I’ve Kind of Failed My Mission’: LeBron James Reveals How He Really Wants To Be Remembered in 100 Years
LeBron James recently talked about how he wants to be remembered by the world in the next 100 years. Let's get to know.
LeBron James is considered the current GOAT of the NBA. Despite lacking any basketball ancestry, tutoring, or mentoring, all it took for him to make a lasting impact on the game was his 2003 NBA entry, not to mention the accomplishments he has made in his 21 professional years. However, the Los Angeles Lakers' forward feels he has failed in his mission. In a recent interview with The Shop, King James opened up about how he wants to be remembered.
During the candid conversation, James said, “From time to time, I do think about how I want to be remembered, and I hope that it's not just the game of basketball. You know, I feel like if it's just the game of basketball, that people, you know, talk about me in the sense of I think I've kind of failed my mission."
He further added that along with basketball, he also wants people to know about the things that he does in his community, the way he and his wife Savannah raised their kids, and his relationship with his single-parent mother. Bron further added that he wants to be known for his friendship with his guys and how he helps people from his hometown.
The King was quick to accept that he was not finished yet. But at the same time, he did say that in terms of basketball, he is "old as f***." The LA Laker star said he feels young in life and he wants to accomplish a lot more.
Well, for the majority, a distinguished career spanning more than twenty years is sufficient to leave their mark on history and enable them to retire with the assurance that their achievements will seem insignificant thirty years from now. James is just getting started, and he may already have the ultimate labor victory.
The LA Lakers' player can retire from basketball today, and fifty years from now, he will still be among the most talked about individuals. Though he is young, having just become the first active athlete to become a billionaire, at 39, he still has a lot of ground to cover.
LeBron has consistently disregarded the conventional route to success. He's arguably the most creative athlete of all time, from his leadership on the court to his unwavering approach late in games to raising the bar for athletes in society.
But as he's gotten older and into his basketball career, his desire to make a lasting impression on the game, a la Kobe Bryant, has grown with him. We are discussing a phenomenon that may never be repeated globally if Bron can improve upon his previous 20 years in the next 20.
