Bron was willing to go back to Cleveland, against the wishes of his family and likely all his closest confidants, because he knew he made a promise and was going to fulfill it no matter what…even if it meant getting Dan Gilbert extra billion or two off his name.
He operates differently from us all.
Bro, they tried to sweep the shit under the rug until Coach Crash Out went to homegirls apartment on some Friday the 13th shit until the police had to detain him! Athletic Department tried to hide it as long as possible before it was leaked or got to this point!
SHEDEUR TO FANNIN FOR THE CLUTCH TD -- THEN STEFANSKI TAKES SHEDEUR OUT FOR THE WILDCAT -- DISASTER. STEFANSKI BLOWS ANOTHER GAME. HE JUST COULDN'T STAND SEEING SHEDEUR TIE THE GAME WITH A 2-POINT CONVERSION AFTER SUCH A GREAT LONG TD DRIVE. FIRE STEFANSKI!
What’s most impressive about Bron & his accomplishments imo is he didn’t inherit discipline or structure, and still became who he became.
If you look at most all time great athletes, nearly all of them had strong male influence and father figures. From Jordan, Magic, Serena, Tiger, Brady, Manning, Mahomes, Mayweather, Bolt, Phelps, Messi, Ronaldo, Gretzky, Federer, Kobe, Shaq, Curry, Duncan, Pele, Ali, all of them had present fathers or male figures that gave them structure, guidance, coaching & discipline.
Bron is the only modern all time great who didn’t inherit any of that, yet still generated his own, and sustained it for 20+ years. Most athletes with fatherlessness, poverty & fame collapse. He didn’t. People don’t realize how crazy that is.
He isn’t just a basketball outlier, he’s a sociological and psychological outlier.
