Although James was selected as the top pick in 2003 because of his innate physical talent, Cameron Anthony's draft ranking is not bad because he is a flower show.
In addition, in the year of the draft, he was the winner of the NCAA's most outstanding player award, and it was also in that year that he led his alma mater's team to win the NCAA championship. So Anthony, like James, received a lot of attention when he entered the league, which was no worse than James' attention.
More importantly, compared with James, Cameron Anthony is more handsome, so he is affectionately called' Melon' by fans, and the number of fans accumulated is not less than that of James in the early days.
The reasons for their different development paths became more and more serious, until James finally became a great player in NBA history, while Cameron Anthony was barely a superstar in NBA history, because their thoughts, choices and personal abilities were different.
In the NBA, the mainstream is heroism, and the mainstream thought is naturally similar to Kobe's concept of one person, one city.
Although Cameron Anthony doesn't have one person and one city, he is in the league market, so he is resigned to his fate and will not take the initiative to choose a team, asking the team to sacrifice everything for himself and meet all his conditions.
In contrast, James is much more flexible. 20 10 when he left the Cavaliers, fans even burned his jersey in the street. At that time, there were many names of soft eggs, but he didn't care about them.
Before joining the Heat, his condition for the Heat was to recruit Bosh, the Dragon King at the peak of 20+ 10, and because the salary level of the Heat was limited at that time, Dwyane Wade greeted James with a salary cut.
Since then, the peak group has become James' business card, but after he won two consecutive championships in the Heat, many people who criticized him before shut up.
Because it has been proved that James can cope with all kinds of setbacks in his career more indifferently after winning the championship honor, and his historical position has been continuously improved with the increase of the number of championships.
It can be seen that James's choice in that year totally outweighed the disadvantages, and then he returned to the Cavaliers under the great pressure of becoming a laughing stock, which is also a powerful embodiment of his thoughts.
In the end, James helped the Cavaliers win the championship in the 20 15-20 16 season, regained the respect of Cleveland people and became a hero of the city. So far, he has become a legend in the NBA and a man with great achievements in the history of the league.
So when the tide recedes, more people care about the hard-core honor in a player's history than the process. Anthony is not as great as James, a big reason is that he is too conservative and doesn't know how to use his peak to win all kinds of honors.
Since Owen left, James was also disheartened and unexpectedly made the decision to go to the Lakers.
This is what no one expected.
But in fact, James's move is a very correct choice. Because the Lakers are a strong team in NBA history, the exposure rate is high, which is enough for James to lay a solid foundation for his reputation after retirement in the rest of the time.
As for winning the championship, it was originally an addition to this welfare. It can only be said that James is lucky, but his choice is actually beneficial and harmless.
On the contrary, Anthony's experience in the Knicks was sad, but before he left the Knicks, Anthony could still get an average score of 2 1.8 points in the 2015/2016 season, and he was still a famous offensive kaleidoscope in the league, so he had the strength to win the championship.
Unfortunately, he first chose to go to Thunder, and together with Shao Wei and paul george who also needed the ball, he formed the Big Three. After the combination with Thunder failed, he went to the Rockets, where the powerful Harden had pushed Howard to the end of the peak, and Anthony could not get the respect and status he deserved, so he sank again and almost retired in the case of a cliff-like decline in his career.
So Anthony's whole career is a tragedy, and every crucial choice he made has obvious shortcomings and loopholes, which also doomed him to fail to achieve his greatness.
Just this year, 37-year-old James can still get the comprehensive data of 25 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. His organizational ability, scoring ability and defensive ability are still at the upstream level of the league, so no matter how young and excellent another giant in the team is, James will always have the ball and the right to speak.
With the ball right and the right to speak, you can control your own destiny.
By contrast, carmelo anthony has no better praise than the title of attacking kaleidoscope. He is not good at organizing attacks or defending, so he can't do it himself, and he can't be a real leader.
He is only the team's scorer at most, and winning or losing is not important in front of him, so Anthony is doomed to be unable to gather people's hearts. He needs a strong leader to lead his career.
Fortunately, Anthony can still get 13.4 points and 3. 1 rebounds per game this season, which makes him stand in the NBA. And on August 4th, Anthony has reached a one-year free agreement contract with the Lakers, that is to say, Anthony will play alongside his good brother LeBron James next season.
I believe that with the help of James, Anthony can be suddenly enlightened, get out of the predicament of his career and win the championship to clear his name!
