To be honest it’s crazy seeing Lebron dominate at this age as of now. What was the hype back then like in the early 2000s up until his draft in 03. I was born in 2000 lol. What are some thoughts or stories you guys had back then of Lebron coming up?

That he might be the best prospect we’ve ever seen. He was an absolute no questions first overall pick at every moment of that draft cycle. When Cleveland won the lottery that year the owner said “we got him?” and looked deliriously happy. I wasn’t following the NBA closely that year but I thought he would be really good immediately. And although the tools were there, no one was saying he might be the greatest player of all time at age 18. But LeBron was an incredible prospect who was even more incredibly better than touted.
