In this very entertaining and skillful sport of NBA basketball, luck plays an important role.
Even how good an athlete is if he is not lucky his guiding star will not shine as bright as the stars of other lucky players.
First of all, in the draft stage, a very talented star player might be drafted early by a team where there is no effective and successful teamwork, game plan or effective technique in offensive and defensive strategies.
If the other players of his team could not give this talented athlete good support like in the assist tactics and most of all in the matter of successful shooting skill by other members of his team then he must consider going to a better team. In addition to this, good cooperation among players and a guiding moral support – esprit de corp, as in the case of successful and lucky LA Lakers team – Derek Fisher a veteran player with 5 rings now is a factor in providing moral support to his team and in particular to superstar Kobe Bryant. Kobe made him this way because he shows his confidence and belief in the qualities of Derek Fisher who in turn developed and maintains his calmness under pressure, like when the team is decreasing in points and he motivates them by making key plays – it has been shown that Derek Fisher usually makes some important shots to energize the players mostly resulting in victories.
Lebron James needs all of these factors in order to showcase his skill.
In the Los Angeles Clippers he can probably get good support from power forward Blake Griffin and moral support from veteran Baron Davis. Lebron also needs a good coach who will show his trust on James talent to inculcate in the mind of Lebron’s confidence. Psychological circumstances contribute much to the skill and talent of an athlete. He feels that his coach trusts him, then this will enhance the desire of the athlete to make use of his gifted skill. It is acceptable that if a player or athlete is not accorded this trust his acts are affected like sometimes he will even be reluctant to shoot the ball even though it is a proper moment because he might be thinking he will be blamed for the teams loss.
Lebron James at this stage is still showing his extraordinary talent so he must be nurtured properly and guided in the choice of his team so this talent doesn’t get wasted gradually just like what happened to other talented athletes in the past- like athletes who are stars during their college years but were not lucky to land on a good team. Even though the team he chooses is not a famous one filled with stars as long as he has good teammates who can provide good support then it is the best choice for him and it can even lead to success in winning an NBA championship.
May Lebron James talent not be wasted as they said this is one in a million. When talent is noticed at its early inception – it must be guided and improved to reach its proper stage or destination to success and recognition.
