Roger's loud mouth couldn't catch up with the 16-and-a-half-year-old James even in 20 years!
He has the same talent as Roger, but without Roger's domineering personality.
His understanding of the game far surpasses others his age, and Jordan just agreed with James' perspective.
"You're right, LeBron. There's always only one winner, so you must always find a way to be the winner. Cowards will inevitably be crushed in the game—this is the truth of competitive sports."
"I will try my best, sir."
"Good, let me have someone send you back. Your mother must be worried. If you need anything, call me anytime."
"Thank you, sir."
"Call me Michael."
"Thank you, Michael."
After James left, Juanita began to clean up the table.
Seeing her husband unable to take his eyes off the back of the Akron boy, she joked, "You seem more concerned about him than your own son."
"I'm just appreciating a basketball player, Juan. I was thinking, playing with him might be a wonderful thing."
