James former teammate Danny Green said: Due to social media, James s idolization level is not high enough
According to an article written by US sports media F/W Chaitanya Dadwar. Former NBA player Danny Green has played alongside several basketball legends. From Duncan to James, he has experienced the peak of basketball. James is widely regarded as one of two greatest basketball players of all time. However, his former teammate Green believes that he has failed to maintain his superstar idol image throughout his career due to social media.
Green recently appeared in Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson's podcast "All the Smoke" and talked about several aspects of his career and the impact of retirement on him. Recalling his time with James, he said, “While it’s easy to play with James on your team, sometimes his fans put so much pressure on his teammates that it’s hard to play with James on the team.” However, Green had an interesting answer when discussing the atmosphere of playing with legends like James and Duncan.
"I think social media is a bit ruining this for a lot of stars because I think that's a halo. Like when he was in Cleveland, he was a superstar, and when he was in Los Angeles, when he was in Miami, I felt they had a lot of opportunities to reach him. They saw him a lot, they saw him on social media, they saw him at clubs or parties. People didn't admire him that much, they criticized him instead, just like we were able to criticize those top players more because Social media. ”
"When I first came to Cleveland, you saw crazy people everywhere. You saw fans waiting outside the hotel, I mean, I saw some fans in college, in Carolina, they were waiting outside, but that wasn't. And the fans you don't want to see, all the different types of fans from different skin colors, races, cultures. So, seeing all the whites or Jews, or Hispanics or Asians you know in the middle of the night, in the early hours It was a surprise to me to go out in Detroit or Minnesota or anywhere. You would be thinking 'What the hell, why are these guys spending the night outside with their kids at this time ' because it was the only chance they would meet LeBron James or see him. Now on social media, seeing him often--that aura is different, that was the first time I really saw that kind of situation, it was special. ”
Green was selected by the Cavaliers in the last year James played for the first time for the Cavaliers (2009). From his former rookie season as James teammate, he played against him with the Spurs to winning the championship with the Lakers with him, Green has witnessed it all with James.
In modern times, the status of superstars no longer seems to be exclusive. On the contrary, it can become a household name that everyone knows and always sees. As the age of social media becomes a part of everyone’s life, it means that the more people you see you, the more money you make. So while people may not be crazy about seeing LeBron James, almost everyone knows who he is, and that's the difference between a superstar and an idol. Do you agree?
