NBA Player of the Month and Week

[edit]

Why are there no mentions whatsoever of him winning NBA Player of the Month and/or Week? Sushidude21! (talk) 20:47, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd wager that it's because those are relatively minor accomplishments given the scale of everything else he's achieved. It's probably something better spun-off into List of career achievements by LeBron James, which I now see does list him as holding the record for most Player of the Month and Week awards (though it's uncited - NBA Player of the Month and Week includes the fact with a citation to a dead linked ESPN article, and I can't find it confirmed elsewhere with a quick search).

Social media being overly affectionate with lebron

[edit]

Lately there has been a surging trend of people being overly affectionate with lebron going as far to make 40 minute videos talking about lebron (1). Even though these videos are satire it should be mentioned. 2803:F340:1200:585C:12B0:A91E:E15A:302C (talk) 15:37, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Racist comments from pro-Trump protesters in Hong Kong

[edit]

People who mention LeBron's comments about Daryl Morey's support of the pro-Trump protests in Hong Kong - which claimed to be pro-democracy but wanted American democracy dismantled to have theirs saved - seem to forget that those same people supposedly fighting against communism ended up hurling racist and xenophobic comments towards LeBron, and I think this should be mentioned. 2603:6080:A005:BBA4:3D84:95B1:4B44:57A (talk) 13:21, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's currently: His statement drew backlash from protesters in the movement, with some taking to social media to use racist language about him.Bagumba (talk) 13:42, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh... thank you! I was hoping at least one Wikipedia article would point out how racist the attacks on LeBron were after that incident happened. As for the Hong Kongers who were on the street protesting for Trump to liberate them, they seem to be jealous of LeBron's contributions to the world. 2603:6080:A005:BBA4:3D84:95B1:4B44:57A (talk) 19:14, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to split "Professional career" into its own article

[edit]

Because the "Professional career" section is very long, I am suggesting the section to be split into its own article. The main LeBron James article will have the "Professional career" section repurposed into a concise summary of James's NBA career, which also includes him passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader. What do you think? ScarletViolet 13:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have created a sample/mockup. This can be seen here. ScarletViolet 13:41, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. His primary notability is his playing career, so it doesnt make sense to make readers go to yet another article to get that main info. His career should just be summarized more, and leave certain details to the respective team season pages (e.g 2019–20 Los Angeles Lakers season, NBA Finals pages (2020 NBA Finals), etc. WP:NOTDIARY. —Bagumba (talk) 14:28, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
