Malta: "How Tim Duncan inspired LeBron to go back to CLE"

[FAH1223]

But while a sizable portion of the NBA world can't stop comparing James to Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant or even Durant, I think James sat back and processed what happened to him in the Finals and realized that he wants to be Tim Duncan.
James, who turns 30 on December 30, has logged 40,000 NBA minutes already, counting playoffs. He must have cast an envious glare at what Duncan, the grand old veteran, had around him. Not just two Hall-of-Fame teammates in Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker but also a hungry, capable young star in Kawhi Leonard and plenty of young, skilled role players in Danny Green, Patty Mills and Tiago Splitter -- none of whom shrank from the moment. He saw that the Spurs added Boris Diaw in a mid-season acquisition, an example of the owner being willing to spend a little extra for a veteran who's a perfect fit.
The older Duncan got, the better his surrounding cast seemed to get. It was uncanny. All Duncan had to do was score 12 points and scoop up 10 rebounds in 28 minutes and he was praised for being a winner and lauded for his leadership, while James was killing himself to lose by 20 to the Spurs.

It's reaching but I'm sure LeBron seeing Duncan on the court 17 years in was a good realization to how he must extend his window in the league and remain effective

Danny Green needs to come home too.

it's reaching like hell, but to be honest it's the most interesting article i've read on this lebron nonsense

i hate 90% of sports journalism, and it's mostly utter trash, but this brings a fresh perspective
