American News: James has been sought after by the league
11:41am, 1 July 2025【Basketball】
"The Child Spoiled by the League" - US media's label points directly to LeBron James' career pain points. From the "Son of Chosen" when he first entered the league to the 39-year-old veteran, the privileged treatment of superstars that James enjoyed along the way is now becoming an important source of his heavy pressure. The

The league's excessive care for James in the early days is obvious to all. The most representative one is the "opening of the net" of its violation of the rules. Those iconic "crab step" breakthroughs are often not criticized in controversy. In the 2012 Eastern Conference Finals G6, his obvious missed decision against Garnett directly changed the direction of the game. This inclination in the judgment scale invisibly creates an atmosphere of privilege. Business alliances need superstars, and James is the perfect idol who is carefully packaged.
However, time passes, privileges are gradually fading away, but pressure is coming like a mountain collapse and a tsunami. The Lakers' lineup structure is unbalanced, and their offseason signings are not effective; the huge public attention brought by their beloved son Brownie's entry into the league; the cruel reality of his competitive state declining with age; and the closer countdown to retirement... Every factor is like a burden on his shoulders.
More profoundly, when the league no longer "spoiled" him and when the referee whistle becomes "fair", James must adapt to a field without additional advantages. The breakthrough space that once relied on was compressed, and the penalty at critical moments was no longer necessarily beneficial. The vacuum area after the disappearance of privilege is precisely the most painful thing about "spoiling backlash".
As Celtic legend Pierce commented: "He got too much tolerance when he was young, and now it's time to pay off his debts." The league's former "spoiler" paved the legendary road for James, but also laid the foreshadowing of today's stress dilemma.
When "spoiling" becomes history, the final chapter of James' legend is destined to be written under heavy pressure. This may be the cruelest and fairest rule of competitive sports - no matter how great a superstar is, he will eventually face the judgment of time alone.
