What mistakes did James make in the pursuit of GOAT?

8:13am, 20 July 2025Basketball

First of all, I want to state that in this article I am discussing the sports competition level, not the career planning level. Please don’t be serious about the rhythm.

Yes, I'm getting traffic again, but I can't help but tell the loopholes behind James's smart career planning. To sum it up, it's:

1. Call yourself GAOT

2. Frequently change teams, brackets: Active

3. Not establishing a dynasty

4. Incomplete shooting skills

5. Not going to college

The first point is extremely fatal. GOAT is recognized by everyone, not by yourself, nor is it just for you to gesture to bring the crown to your head.

The second point is actually nothing, after all, business is business, but the problem lies in "activity" - I want to say this with the third point that James failed to respect the laws of history in this regard. Because historical experience tells us that core players need to establish dynasties in the parent team for a long time, the Warriors are like this, the Lakers in the new millennium, the Spurs dynasty throughout the 20 years, the Bulls dynasty, and the Magicians, Scott, and Lambis in the Lakers in the 1980s were also selected by Jerry West personally.

However, James' thinking runs contrary to it. He is the thinking of "competing for the championship in the game", and obviously cannot establish a dynasty. The Heat didn't have to establish a dynasty by one championship, because the team had the team spirit Wade and his sacrifice of giving up the ball and reducing his value afterwards;

The third point, historical experience also tells us that the center has solid low-post footsteps and ending touch, and the position outside the center has an excellent shooting system to have the capital to compete for GOAT. Jordan, Curry, and Kobe's shooting system in the middle and late stages of his career are all shooting systems with the right head and shoulders, while James is the shooting system for the head. The upper limit of this shooting system is limited. O'Neal is also a player who has the talent to be a GOAT and failed in the end, because his shooting system is not good, but too big muscles and too wide shoulders are indeed not conducive to the establishment of a correct shooting system.

In addition, I think Leonard's shooting system is good, it's just mechanical card frames.

The fifth point is also a factor. The meaning of college basketball is to polish your skills while improving your team consciousness. James loses if he doesn't play in college basketball. Similarly, Kobe in the early stage of his career is the same.

After all, there is a clear difference between high school basketball and college. High school coaches see a talented team like you and treat you as the core. After all, players like you are rarely seen in their N years, but it is not surprising that your talent is in a well-known university. You have to play team basketball and even accept bench culture.

Finally, I have to emphasize: grouping can basically not establish a dynasty. A real dynasty requires the establishment of a foundation through the growth of the cultivation department. However, after Xiao Hua took office, the NBA environment did not support the establishment of a dynasty, and the championship has become a metaphysic of rotation.
