Lebron James glaze needs to come to an end.
The Issue
The Lebron James glaze is getting out of hand.
Boys are breaking up with girls just because they aren't Lebron James. They are slowly talking about Lebron James (or as they call him, lebonbon), during class lessons, interrupting the learning my parents had paid for. Boys in my class state "It's Lebron James, my goat. And he's tall!" I feel that just hearing the word "Lebonbon" makes my smile drop. I just feel like it's a waste of time. It's always "Lebron is the goat" "Lebron is the best". Yes, he may be a good player, but some people are going too far with liking him so much. I feel that this glaze truly does affect my ways of focus during my learning in school. Most of my friends, and even some boys that do not support the lebron glaze agree with me. I believe that if we can slowly introduce something new, the Lebron James glaze will become old, and I believe that we can stop the Lebron james glaze. The non stop glorification of Lebron James among middle school boys, and some girls, has gotten out of hand and needs to stop. while Lebron is undoubtedly one of the greatest players ever, the excessive "glazing" prevents young fans from appreciating other amazing players, and having real basketball game discussions. Many middle schoolers dismiss players like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Ja Morant, Lamelo Ball, and many other amazing players without realizing their impact in basketball. This reduces every basketball conversation to "Lebron is the GOAT" . Even current amazing basketball players like Giannis, Curry, and Jokic get discredited because of blind loyalty to Lebron James.
Loving Lebron James is fine, but the obsession is ruining basketball as a whole, and it's time to stop the glaze of Lebron James, and to start appreciating other players and the sport as a whole.
