People often laud the Los Angeles Lakers superstar for the incredible versatility and durability that he possesses. However, one impressive attribute of the King is less spoken about – his photographic memory.
Ever since Bron entered the league, the talented forward’s photographic memory has left several fans and analysts impressed. Amid accusations on social media of LBJ being a liar, the 20 Year veteran put his memory on display just recently.
LeBron James wishes a staff ‘happy birthday’ after the Bucks-Lakers clash
After the recent-most Los Angeles Lakers clash against the Milwaukee Bucks, James had an outstanding outing. In nearly 37 minutes, the 37-year-old put up a 28-point, 11-assist, and 8-rebound near triple-double.
However, the 18-time All-Star’s postgame antic is what left social media impressed.
While talking about the win on his way to the team’s locker room, as he was dapping up the staff members, LeBron suddenly wished a staff member ‘happy birthday.’
Now, there have been several instances in his 20-year career, where LeBron has displayed his memory – recalling plays and even remembering all the handshakes. Now, with him remembering a staff’s birthday, social media is pretty impressed.
“Lucky to have a photographic memory”: LeBron
Back in 2014, during his finals years with the Miami Heat, Bron acknowledged the fact of him having a photographic memory.
In an interview with ESPN, the then-Heat star said:
“I can usually remember plays in situations a couple of years back — quite a few years back sometimes,” James says. “I’m able to calibrate them throughout a game to the situation I’m in, to know who has it going on our team, what position to put him in.”
“I’m lucky to have a photographic memory,” he will add, “and to have learned how to work with it.”
Even twenty years into his career, Bron keeps finding ways to impress us.
