Stephen Varanko III puts a premium on leadership when it comes to team sports, being a basketball captain himself during his younger years. He believes that aspiring athletes have dozens of role models to look up to. One such role model is Lebron James.
While James is incredibly polarizing, one thing is for sure – he is one of the greatest talents the basketball world will ever see. He has amassed and broken a number of records during his 15-plus years in the league and looks to set all-time numbers before he retires, which at the rate he’s going, won’t probably be in the next three years.
James is a physical specimen. He’s strong, fast, and agile. James has often been described as a basketball genius in a footballer’s body. He can bang on the inside and handle the ball as impressively as the best point guards to ever play the game. James can do it all.
While the common criticism about James is his mental toughness (or lack of it), he has led his teams to the NBA Finals on way more occasions than most of his peers. That would not have been possible if he didn’t possess any semblance mental toughness.
James has often been compared to the likes of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, and will forever be mentioned in the NBA’s top five players of all time.
James has given his life to the sport and has dominated in for most of his tenure as a player, making champions out of players who would otherwise never win titles in their lifetime. To Stephen Varanko III, that’s worth respecting.
Stephen Varanko III has had a storied academic background. Having ranked 12th in his high school class standings, he had also been an active participant in many extracurricular activities, being both class president and president of the honor council. He had also been the captain of the varsity lacrosse, cross-country, and basketball. Click here for more on Mr. Varanko.
