LeBron James was told by a doctor when he was 11 that he would only grow to be 6'3".
The news crushed him as he already was dreaming of becoming a professional basketball player.
"When your idols are Michael Jordan and Penny Hardaway, you're like [expletive]," James said to cleveland.com in a one-on-one session. "You're looking on the back of basketball cards and it says M.J. 6-6, Penny Hardaway 6-71, Grant Hill 6-8, you're like, 'I'm only going to be 6-3? Golly. My dreams are shattered.' That's how it made me feel."
James was approximately 5'7" at age 11. His growth spurt was just about to take off. He reached six feet in junior high. By the end of his freshman year, he was 6-3.
Kakva vijest...klincu od 11 godina su srušeni snovi jer mu je doktor rekao da će biti visok samo 190 cm.
Što je slijedeće? Jordan godinama patio jer mu je profesor tjelesnog u prvom osnovne rekao da vjerojatno neće biti najbolji košarkaš u povijesti?
