LeBron James's brutal retort to his critics: "I don't have resources, I have 50 million points"

LeBron James has spoken on Basketball Network about the obsession nowadays in the NBA world by analysts, players, and fans to talk about players based on the "resources" they have. The Los Angeles Lakers' 23 gives a damning argument denying his theoretical abilities and putting his points on the table:

"LeBron doesn't have resources, and I'm here sitting like saying: I have 50 thousand billion points."

And he goes further explaining that the great stars of history always worried about trying to score as soon as possible, not about having more resources. They worried about simplifying their game and being as effective as possible. He gives several examples of it in history.

Michael Jordan

"When I was growing up, there was no talk of that. What was valued was the fewest bounces to get where you needed. Michael Jordan wasn't there dribbling the ball a thousand times to get to his spot and shoot."

Isiah Thomas

"Isiah Thomas. No matter how good Isiah Thomas' handling was, he got to a point and shot. All those players I grew up watching, Grant Hill, got to their spot. I am bigger than you. 'Big Dog' Glenn Robinson, Allan Houston, Penny Hardaway, Tracy McGrady."

Tracy McGrady

"Even with Tracy's good handling, it was like: 'I'm bigger than you, I'm going to get to this place with the fewest dribbles'."

In his rightful plea, he gives advice to young players, to stop being obsessed with resources and maximize their game in the simplest way possible:

"Just play the right way. I hope our younger generation doesn't obsess over saying: 'I need resources, I need resources, I need resources.' Work on your game, know what you're going to be good at to help your team, and show next year that you're a better player."
