Keith Dambrot IS NOT Lebron's first coach .. (he was his highschool coach) Lebron's FIRST coach was *frank walker AND coach Dru Joyce Sr.* *coach Dru Joyce Sr. was along side the ENTIRE time with Keith Dambrot*

The glossary flashes at the bottom of the screen explaining basketball play/tactics/strategy jargon plus the illustrative video snippets - “chef’s kiss”, man. Really well done!

Bron turned into a grown man and good man. Solid American. Good to see some of his early influences. Really nice guy, his high school coach. Luck comes in many forms. At the right time. Coach & Player. Amazing Bron almost 40 and in the playoffs again. Probably going home because Denver is just a load for any team. No shame in that. Probably needs to be in a smaller market with a younger team to get a chip shot again. Lakers going to shuffle the deck. Bron hustling on both ends doesn't need to apologize to anyone if he wants to play someplace else, less magnifying glass fishbowl environment = more fame focus.
