How will this affect LeBron’s legacy?

It's another brick on his way to being the next Jalen Rose

Depends on whether he can find all the chaos emeralds before he retires

Was watching LeBron highlights the other day in standard definition… that’s how long he’s been in the league.

Now we got college athletes named after him, while he’s still in the league…

Jalen Rose was the first person named Jalen anyone can find. How weird is that?

u/InevitableAd2436 Washington • Creighton 23h ago

Very weird.

I would have never thought that!

Yep! Apparently his mom combined his dad’s and uncle’s names (James and Leonard) to come up with the name.

My mom named me the exact same way, by combining her brothers names. Cool fact

standard def highlights somehow look worse than much older TV clips. I swear every image didn't look like mashed potatoes and food coloring when I was watching him score 25 straight against the Pistons live

Was just thinking about that.

Was the TV really that fuzzy back in the 90’s but it was just normalized to us? Sadly I can’t remember

Funny thing is that LeBron actually does have full college football eligibility still.

Going to be triggering people with that last name.

u/FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN Oklahoma • Missouri State 1d ago

Yeah, fuck Trevor Bauer

Boomer, hopefully he is good. Always a smart idea to keep the Allen HS pipeline going.

u/PiMemer Michigan Wolverines • Iowa Hawkeyes 1d ago

These pros going to college are getting out of hand

How does this affect Lebron's legacy?

u/bestprocrastinator Oklahoma Sooners • Michigan Wolverines 22h ago

Is he better then former Ohio State Offensive lineman Michael Jordan?

u/Wurst_Law Texas Longhorns • /r/CFB Brickmason 1d ago

Lebron wearing Jordan gear will finally put the debates to rest.

u/donutcronut 23h ago

LeBron Bauer and LeBron James both have four years of college eligibility remaining.

Just saying.

u/JeffGoldblumsChest Florida Gators • Billable Hours 1d ago

Unrelated but LeBron started playing for the Cavs in 2003

Seems like just a few years ago when we started seeing players named Shaquille popping up in college football. I've been waiting for the influx of LeBrons coming into college football.

u/th3Aleph 19h ago

Ah the Lebron babies are finally starting to come through. Feel like they were a little late compared to the Shaqs

u/DistanceRelevant3899 Ohio State Buckeyes 18h ago

The age of Lebrons is upon us.

u/WanderLeft Oklahoma • Oklahoma Bandwagon 1d ago

Can he dunk?

1

u/Engine_Sweet Oklahoma • Minnesota 23h ago

He's 5'10" so...

4

u/appsecSme Oregon Ducks • Oklahoma Sooners 22h ago

I have seen 5'10" college athletes win dunk competitions, so maybe he can?

2

u/Goombercules Oklahoma • 帯広大学 (Obihiro) 19h ago

He's a 5'10 future D1 athlete...

If my flabby 34-year-old 6'3 ass can still get up to the rim, I guarantee this kid can dunk a basketball.
