With the second overall pick 1(2) of the 2019 CelticsStrong Historical Draft..
The Boston Celtics select...
LeBron JamesMan this hurt... this is sacrilegious.
I'm going to defend this pick now because I know this will be the least popular selection of the draft. I toyed with a couple of fan favorites in this spot but this was someone I just couldn't pass up on.
I don't like him, you don't like him, but the 2013 version of LeBron James was unstoppable.
26.8 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 7.3 apg, 1.7 spg, 0.9 bpg, 56.5 % fg, 40.6% 3pfg, 75.3 % ft
League MVP, first team all defense, Finals MVP, and a title.
His versatility, athleticism, skill, and pure dominance made this a no brainer for me.
I really think if we take off our green glasses and put aside our pure hatred of the man for what he has done to our team, we can all realize he is the 2nd greatest player of all time.
