No skills? James: I got 500 million points! The No. 1 pick supports James!

On June 11, LeBron James responded positively to the outside world's negative doubts about his "no skills" in his podcast program "The Brain of the Field".

"I'm a person who scored 50 billion points."

(Exaggeration, the total score in the regular season + playoffs in actual career is 50,473 points).

Since entering the league in 2003, James has been a nightmare for many opponents. And those negative comments about him "no skills" and "relying on his body" have been around him since his rookie season. To this day, the 40-year-old James finally chose to respond:

"I also have skills, and my skills are very effective."

According to James' response, he had been watching the games of players such as Jordan, Smiling Assassin Thomas, Grant Hill, and Penny Hardaway during his growth, and he also learned a lot of practical skills from them, rather than simply exaggerating and showing off his skills. He also advises young players today not to pursue cool but inefficient fancy moves to attract attention.

Thereafter, James' response received support from many peers, with former NBA No. 1 Kenyon Martin and former talented player Brandon Jennings taking the lead in their podcast show to support James. Jennings' response was quite straightforward:

"James can always get to where he wants, and this is his own skill pack. He makes the game simple, and he knows what he is doing. His playing style is not necessarily gorgeous, but it is very effective, and that is why he can get more than 50,000 points."

And Kenyon Martin directly criticized those who criticized James:

"James doesn't need to play 17 consecutive games and then take a three-pointer. He doesn't need to do that at all. He is not overrated, but the one who is really overrated is those players who are playing tricks every day and have a low shooting percentage! Just look at the historical data. Those guys who are crazy dribbling are not hitting high. What can really score is to send the ball into it. The person in the basket. And LeBron is the first person in history in this field. "

Previously, Antetokounmpo, the head of the Bucks, publicly updated his personal social media to support James:

"If someone really thinks that one of the greatest players on the earth has no skills, brother, I have really seen everything."

And this is not the first time Antetokounmpo has publicly supported James. Earlier, when Antetokounmpo participated in the show offline, facing speculation about who was an NBA player, Antetokounmpo asked how to defend James. The contestants at that time said a lot of reasons; then Antetokounmpo directly interrupted the opponent and made it clear that he was not an NBA player, because you could not defend James at all.

In addition to the above people, as a former teammate during the Heat, former three-pointer Lai Allen also publicly supported James on an online show:

"LeBron has always been unstoppable. He never needs any signature moves. He just needs to rush forward and crush everyone to the point of being incomplete."

In the final analysis, basketball is still a sport that competes in scoring. For James, his skill package may not be as gorgeous as Curry Irving, but he has proved one thing with his 21-year long career:

The real technique is not how many movements you do, but how you use the least movements to achieve the most stable result. After all, there are too many people in this league that can play tricks, but LeBron James has only one.
