welcome black i know you’ve seen it i
0:01
was scrolling down my feed and i see
0:03
this image of lebron james bryce and
0:05
brony doing these running dunk drills at
0:07
the lakers facility and i was just blown
0:10
away this is peak fatherhood let me
0:13
explain why lebron is literally in the
0:15
evolution of fatherhood this is the best
0:18
moment ever he is witnessing his gifts
0:21
make room for himself and his children
0:24
he’s taken advantage of his children’s
0:26
adolescence and the time that he has
0:28
with them he’s also refining his own
0:30
skills this is incredible before they
0:32
get drafted to the league before they
0:33
have wives and kids before the
0:35
obligations of life start pulling them
0:37
in every direction they are following
0:39
the leadership of their father and
0:40
absorbing him as an example listen i
0:43
will never understand the discipline it
0:44
takes to get into the nba let alone
0:46
being one of the top players ever but i
0:48
believe there’s a greater message about
0:50
time and talent so let’s have a sense of
0:53
urgency because whether we know it or
0:54
not we are passing down some form of
0:56
ourselves to our children what is that
0:59
for you
1:00
what are your children watching you do
1:02
right now
1:03
stop thinking about man one day i want
1:05
to do this or one day i’m going to be
1:06
this person now be that person right now
1:09
because i’m sure when lebron james first
1:10
dribbled the basketball
1:12
he did not know he was starting the
1:14
tempo
1:15
for the metronome of his legacy fathers
1:17
let’s be consistent whatever it is we
1:19
start let’s get it going and let’s
1:22
finish
1:22
and maybe
1:24
we’ll live long enough to see our
1:25
children start to walk in our footsteps
