Re: what player did Lebron look up to and idolize while in HS?
[QUOTE=pauk]When asked about his favorite player/players he always said Penny Hardaway... He mentioned also Magic Johnson as a guy who he thinks had similar games. Those are the guys he patterned his game after, mostly Penny...... and he was a Penny clone coming into the league indeed, now he is more like a supercharged Penny.
He said Jordan is just somebody he idolized, looked up to, like most of us 90s children...... but its Penny that was his guy....

Re: what player did Lebron look up to and idolize while in HS?
He wore:
TMacs
Kobes
Nikes
Jordans
Reebok Questions
In HS ... his number is 23, and he's spoken about his admiration for Penny at times. So that basically sums up the list of influences on him as a player.
Re: what player did Lebron look up to and idolize while in HS?
wilt
regular season players who marginalize teammates and come up short in the playoffs. won rings because they are obviously talented, but more because of crazy talent on their roster even though it is marginalized. any other great player could win as much or more than those two if you switch them in.
so lebron looked up to wilt because they look for stats and reduce teammates. underachieve in playoffs

As someone who actually watched More Than a Game, he flat-out tells the interviewer that he has a wall dedicated to Kobe posters. I mean, it's right there in the documentary.
