VJ Edgecombe on LeBron: “My favorite player growing up, the only reason I started playing basketball. To get his jersey means a lot to me, but I wanted to win. It would feel better if we won and I got his jersey.”
He probably has great memories of watching LeBron win that title with the Lakers when he was a kid
This comment is breaking my brain.
How about the fact that LeBron played against Philly when the throwback jersey they wore tonight was brand new?
not brand new lmao
That jersey was debuted in 98, lebron came in the league in 03
Some of AI best moments from his mvp season was in dat uniform lol
those jerseys debuted in 97
Stop this, I’m begging you
I was like yeah 2012 was a while ago then I read the rest of the sentence lmao
Damn he was like 14 during the start of that season
Good Lord, dude was probably on reddit defending the lebron and the Lakers after they lost the home opener vs the clips 😂
How old was he when Cavs won the chip?
11 years old.
Well, we are getting close to gettung rookies who were born after he took his talents to South Beach
Man, the other day I saw a kid on YouTube, naming players that starts with the letter C. Bro was puzzled with the hint (Bron’s teammate in Miami”) given to him, “Lebron in Miami Heat???”
Cooper Flagg was 12 at the start of that season
Why you doing this, man
Some people want only pain
Way to make everyone feel old.
Hey, i need you to stop this please
Shhhhh
That was such a long time ago
Fuck you for making me feel old as hell lol
LeBron has to lowkey love watching all of these up and coming stars talk about how much they appreciated LeBron as they built up their own game.
Not just players fans too
We’re about to get the same propaganda Jordan got i can’t wait to say the era was the best and real men played basketball not this 2043 nba ball
wait until lebron gets the documentary boost too lol. hope he releases it right after wemby gets a ring too!
“I remember when they played real defense” meanwhile Mark Tatum okays a rule where players can just tackle the screener
I’m waiting for the new old heads to start saying the early 2000s deadball era was the best defense - over the current old heads who say it’s the 90s.
It’s going to be fun challenging the current babies in the future about who the greatest player to ever play basketball in like 20 years time. lmao
Brandin Podziemski
He’s been in league such a long time, to think the #2 pick that year , Dark O’Milicic has been out of the league for 12 years really puts things into perspective of just how long he has been playing in the league in terms of long jevity.
It’s longevity buddy not long jevity
LeBron James
LoNg Jevity
Irish Darko
And then he beats them
I saw a replay of LeBron against Detroit in 07 and it pretty much got me into watching and eventually playing basketball. Probably so many the same. What a fkn legend.
To think he was 4 years out of high school doing that too.
VJ was just under 2 years old lol
Thats what got me to being a Bron and nba fan. Remember watching that game 5 in 07. I was 8 and found my love for the game. All my uncles were mad we lost and remember my pops saying that boy just too good. Crazy he’s still this good.
that series with Detroit gave us a glimpse of how great he can be and how he was carrying the Cavs so hard

Can’t have your cake and eat it too young gun. Unless your name is LeBron.
LeBron can’t have cake at his age, he’s got to worry about his blood sugar
LeInspiration
This quote is silly, like he wouldnt have played basketball at all if Lebron didn’t exist?
Dude was born after LeBron’s first all-star appearance and Chris Paul’s draft
haha how can u not like this guy, ‘tone?!
I want the new breed to be like LeBron or any non-selfish players. It’s more fun to watch when a superstar passes to his teammates.
It always warms my heart seeing young guys get to the NBA and be able to play with their favorite player(s) they literally grew up watching. Crazy that guys like Bron, Steph and KD are still here to share the floor with them
Even guys like Brandon Miller getting to play vs PG must feel awesome
I like this guys mentality a lot

Don’t be greedy young man.
If you play the game the right way, these young players will appreciate it.
Glad I got to watch LeBron play his whole career.
VJ stands for “VeBron James”
He fucked up his nba2k my player quest
Man I love this dude’s game, I hope he keeps getting better. Him and Maxey are so likeable
I’m going to have to move LeBron up in my rankings if he inspired VJ. Have him at 3.
Someone’s gotta explain why the 76ers ever changed from these logos and uniforms
VJ was 4 years old during The Decision.
And we realised we are old. Damn it.
That zipper is fire.
Sounded like he said “one of the reasons” not “the only reason”.
Joker, Cade and VJ are my favorites moving forward
They have a lot of nice pieces. Hopefully the Lakers can get Grimes in the offseason.
If the 76ers won, LeBron would have walked off the court early and you wouldn’t have gotten his jersey. Pick your poison, VJ.
Nah Bron has handed jerseys even when he lost. DBook comes to mind after the Lakers lost the series, he even took a Pic with DBook handing him the signed jersey. Pretty sure he met Jamal’s brother after one of the Denver series losses too.
