36 years ago, a boy named LeBron quack fell to the ground.

No one thought that he would grow into a star that the entire basketball world has focused on in a few years.

  Time is merciless.

In the 2003 NBA Draft, James, who was regarded as the "son of the Chosen", was 36 years old, and today is his birthday.

According to China, it can be regarded as the third natal year of life.

Data map: James raised the FMVP trophy.

  The natal year is said to be a natal year. In the traditional idealist concept, the natal year will bring bad luck to people.

And this year of James's birth coincides with the time of the midlife crisis. Wouldn't it be worse?

  But when we look back, we find that he has run his own business and family as a model for middle-aged men.

  Before his birthday, James and his Lakers ushered in their second defeat of the season.

They lost 107:115 to the Blazers.

But in the game, James performed well, scoring 29 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.

Data map: James.

  This is the second back-to-back game of the Lakers, but it seems that he is not like a "four" person at all.

On both offensive and defensive ends, James still maintains a high intensity.

Only the increasingly thinning hair and the hairline that is often "ridiculed" remind everyone that this person has been in the league for 17 years.

  There are old people at the top, young people at the bottom, a certain degree of achievement in career, and surviving ambitions to climb the peak again, and clearly feel that the physical fitness is going downhill. This is the status quo of middle-aged people.

  For NBA players whose body is the foundation, 36 years old is already late in their careers, and their midlife crisis comes a little earlier than ordinary people.

  On James' broad back, there is a big "CHOSEN 1" written on it, which translates to "the Chosen One".

Since entering the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2003, he has always been the focus of the flash, and has even been the "League Number One" title for many years.

Will such a person have a midlife crisis?

Data map: In the first round of the 2017 NBA Finals, the Warriors defeated the Cavaliers 113:91, and James was unable to return to heaven.

  Before the opening game of the new season, the entire Lakers team received the championship ring of last season, and James was as happy as always like a "child of several hundred catties."

It is not the first time fans have ridiculed him to get a ring, but they also know that he has waited for this ring for four years.

  In 2016, after leading the Cavaliers to complete a major reversal and defeating the Warriors to win the championship, although the Cavaliers can still enter the finals, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this team has no ability to win the championship.

At that time, James faced a choice that many middle-aged people would face: go or stay?

  He has achieved great success on this platform, where he has connections, resources, and the most familiar working environment, and his career achievements are not small.

But if you continue to stay here, it may be difficult to make any breakthroughs.

  Family is also a factor he has to consider. Moving elsewhere means that his family is far away from the familiar living environment and the child has to choose a new school.

Although his annual salary is a few zeros higher than that of ordinary people, the issues that he considers when changing jobs are similar.

Data map: Before the 2016-17 NBA regular season opener, the Cavaliers received the championship ring.

During the awards, he shed tears.

  Finally, in the summer of 2018, James decided to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

As a famous international city in the United States, Los Angeles is much more prosperous than Cleveland, where the Cavaliers are located, so many people joked that he came for the "school district room".

  But James' first season with the Lakers was unsuccessful, and the team missed the playoffs.

James, who has been physically fit like an iron man for more than ten years, has also been out of combat for a long time due to groin injuries.

Fortunately, with the addition of "Thick Eyebrows", the team returned to health. They finally won the championship last season as they wished, and James also won his fourth FMVP.

  On the whole, James' response to the mid-life crisis is to "strike iron and still need to harden himself."

In addition to his amazing athletic talent, long-term diligence and self-discipline are also the key to his ability to maintain his state at this age.

For ordinary people, they need to continue to learn and improve to improve their competitiveness in their careers.

  However, other middle-aged people should think carefully when facing the decision of whether to quit. Don't just see the scenery of Lao Zhan when he won the championship, but also see the difficulties he encountered when he first changed the environment.

He can meet Jenny Buss, the boss who supports him, and his teammate "Browsed Eyebrow" who selflessly helps him. This kind of treatment is not available to everyone.

After the sixth game of the NBA Finals last season, the Lakers players embraced and celebrated in the flying confetti.

  For middle-aged people, there is family besides career, and instability from family is also part of the middle-aged crisis.

  James and his wife, Savana, can be regarded as love models in the Vanity Fair of the NBA. The two met when they were young and accompanied each other all the way. Now they have two children and one daughter, and the family is happy.

  There are a lot of stars in the NBA who are addicted to drinking, and so are examples of losing their careers.

Some people even left the arena and were ruined by the continuous emergence of illegitimate lawsuits.

  But James has become a "scandal" insulator for many years, which also makes him have a family as a pillar behind whatever difficulties he encounters in his career.

James celebrated Mother's Day for his wife on social media.

  Of course, James' family life is not without twists and turns. During the finals of last season, the "little bunny" at home caused him trouble.

  After the NBA rematch last season, all participating teams closed their games in the Disney park.

And because the Lakers eventually won the championship, James became one of the longest away from home in the entire league.

  Just as James was working hard for the championship, his eldest son Brownie posted a video on social media that "swallowing clouds and fog". What is shocking is that many people watched the video and thought he was not ordinary Cigarettes, but marijuana.

  Of course, there is no real evidence of whether Brownie is smoking marijuana in the video, it is just speculation, but the shock of public opinion caused by this video is real.

You know, Brownie just passed his 16th birthday in October this year, and James has always placed high hopes on him, hoping that one day he will be able to achieve father and son playing in the NBA.

James has high hopes for Brownie and often shares photos of his son when he is playing on social media.

  How the father and son finally solved this problem is unknown to outsiders.

Recently, Brownie was concocted by the media for praising the photos of Pippen’s ex-wife on social media. This angered the James family. He and his wife spoke out to denounce bad media and protect Brownie.

  Perhaps this can be seen as James's way of education: problems within the family are solved behind closed doors, but no one can hurt my children.

  From the result point of view, Brownie really hasn't made any extraordinary moves recently, and often goes to the arena to train with his father.

  For children’s education, there is never a perfect answer.

When middle-aged people work hardest, they are often the most critical time for children to grow up. They sometimes make people headaches, but they are by no means a burden, because in a normal parent-child relationship, when you return home with exhaustion, you will always You can see their smiling faces.

Data map: James layup.

  From the former "little emperor" to today's "old Zhan" and "three-year old man", James' 36th birthday is a special day and an ordinary day on his journey to the championship again.

This is a history of the growth of a sports superstar, and it is also a model of how to have a double harvest in the family business.

  I hope that his new one-year-old will be happy and happy, and that every friend who is in his middle age will find his most suitable life trajectory.
