The most misleading old quote regarding football analysis — aside from “defense wins championships” — is from Bill Parcells. In the life of a football coach, it makes sense.

LeBron James was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as the future of his sport at age 17. He came of age in an era where most of the people he encountered had a camera in their pockets, an entirely new experience for celebrities of all stripes. Every minute of his public life could be captured by citizen paparazzi, every positive interaction and any negative interaction. Despite that, 18 years have passed, every day of it with the world watching, and as far as we know he’s been a model human… Source link
