When he played in his rookie season, most current day rookies were 1-2 years old.

Joshua Primo is the current Youngest Player in the league and was less than a year old on the day LeBron made his debut

[{"selector":"#anim-9a475970-2145-4d05-80e9-332f70a34694 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.235351448636845%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5ffa1fd9-0bd1-4192-85b8-ed732a9cfaa7","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-737db921-7a2f-4864-9650-9ea8df46a3b3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

This phenomenal longevity has created an unbelievable narrative

[{"selector":"#anim-e80c96ba-b99a-432d-b3de-8fc748a642ae [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(17.254464360443958%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c8292dd-ccb9-4d2f-b550-080f820b163d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.23810%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-399f79ba-2abe-4a87-a165-30a0fd32f387","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-16185578-ecf1-42ff-a238-83673d6c13b3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

"Every NBA Rookie idolizes LeBron James."

[{"selector":"#anim-efbb20f8-dac1-4e83-9183-d07ccaa4ff62 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(23.278137214176216%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca0f15b4-efc3-4b2d-9e57-15192fc90d8e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9d00a32-1c80-413a-9a99-3597dcbe2301","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -323.18145%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

We saw that when a reporter asked rookie Scottie Barnes if he had a poster of LeBron James in his room growing up

[{"selector":"#anim-ea5566d2-eaed-4d87-8998-7f9e347a52b0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-38.072570480958895%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b3e38fd-f73f-4d20-a485-491d676f06bf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Scottie Barnes answered that question by saying, "I was a really big Kobe Fan."

[{"selector":"#anim-d939e945-4316-4186-ac92-67e050ce11da [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-38.147321270121886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa25e6f8-9b66-4d63-b327-b2392329e59d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.47195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f501034-b21f-4135-ba28-a2dd9144cd86","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f69fcf02-7d86-415e-b5f9-9fb5b9270a7a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The question stemmed from the mindset put forth and would give birth to headlines like 'LeBron gets better of NBA rookie and fan Scottie Barnes.'

[{"selector":"#anim-ee9636a3-e93a-4b03-ac78-6d79ba415e03 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-23.897944393310677%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3ed931f2-1700-4c19-b14a-96aa6bd453e6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-400be39b-68a8-4192-a755-51dea8b595ab","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -114.22456%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

That's not to say there aren't any young NBA players who idolize LeBron, but the number isn't as high as the narrative pushes it to be.

[{"selector":"#anim-a62f5bce-9c27-49b5-ba3c-4c973c9168f2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f68243cb-e819-4719-b699-5ffb6fbc0cae","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87c8ded4-7011-4013-b849-2bb385e8a4bb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
