After James retires, who is qualified to be his Hall of Fame introducer? There are only five people who are full of money

James, who entered the NBA in 2003, has already achieved success. He holds four championship rings, and also has various personal honors such as 4MVP+4FMVP. It is a matter of certainty that he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future. Now it is about when he retires, and he will be nominated soon. However, there is a problem that if James is selected into the Hall of Fame, who is the most suitable person to introduce him?

Looking back at other examples of super giants being inducted into the Hall of Fame, Jordan was introduced by David Thompson, his basketball idol in his youth, and Kobe was introduced by Jordan, whom he regarded as his example. Originally, Kobe was very suitable to be James' introducer. The latter expressed his appreciation for Kobe before he joined the draft. In addition, he also said that the fact that Kobe also entered the NBA after graduating from high school and achieved success had a great incentive for him. Finally, James was able to join the Lakers in 2018, and Kobe's recruitment also played a significant role.

In addition to Kobe Bryant, it is now necessary to select a player who is suitable for James to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future. Only these five players are qualified.

5. Wade

Although Wade and James are the same rookie in 2003, he is several years older than James, so Wade was one of the few people in the team who could let James listen to suggestions when the two joined hands in the Heat. Although Wade's historical position is not as high as James', the Hall of Fame introducers do not particularly consider this. For example, when Wade was elected to the Hall of Fame, he just found Iverson, and the latter's historical position is obviously not as high as Wade's.

The relationship between James and Wade is relatively rare in this business alliance. The two established contact as early as they were selected. Later, the combination of Heat promoted the relationship between them, even between two families. However, Wade is very important for James to have today's status. After the defeat of the 2011 finals, Wade took the initiative to find James and let him play as "selfish" as possible in the following competitions, so James played the strongest state at that time, so regardless of how Wade must be one of the potential candidates for James to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in the future.

4. Byrd

Before James rose up completely, the first small forward in NBA history has always been Byrd. As one of the appearances of the NBA in the 1980s, he helped the Green Army win the championship three times. In addition, he has played a three consecutive MVP feat. And in his career, Byrd is not only good at scoring and spouting garbage, but also his rebounds and passing are very top level. He has played at least 20+10+5 per game in five seasons.

The most important thing is that Byrd, after his retirement, does not like other players of his time to cherish the past but not the present. On the contrary, Byrd has praised the new generation of players in the league more than once. And when James gradually surpassed Byrd later, the latter was still very structured, as long as he talked about James, he never grudged praise. Of course, James also respects this elder. Not long ago, he forwarded highlights of Byrd's playing on social media.

3. Magician

When James participated in the draft, his template was Magic Johnson. Both of them played very comprehensively on the court, and their basketball concepts were quite similar. At that time, the magician was a big enough player in the league. At his peak, he was also a front player in the league. Whenever he played in the game, there were always full seats. Under the guidance of magician, the Lakers reached the finals eight times in the 1980s, five of which won the championship. He has also won MVP and FMVP for many times, and today he is still the first point guard in NBA history.

The retired magician became the management of the Lakers from a Laker player. In 2017, he was appointed by the Lakers as the president of team operations. In 2018, James became a free player. The magician immediately launched a "crazy pursuit" on behalf of the Lakers. In order to sign James, the magician went to James' home to meet him in person. In 2019, the magician saw that the team's coach Walton De was not worthy, so he would rather resign than dismiss him, so the Lakers had a chance to sign the champion coach Vogel in 2020.

It can be said that the Lakers can win the championship in 2020, and the magician has also made great contributions to the team, and his original promise to recruit James has also been fulfilled. Therefore, whether judging from the historical status of magician or the relationship between him and James, he is qualified to be the hall of fame introducer of the latter.

2. Jabbar

Like the magician, Kareem Abdul Jabbar is a famous player of the Lakers. Although the relationship between him and James is not so close, after all, his historical position is there. Before James, he has always been the second place in history. Moreover, Jabbar and James have one thing in common: they are both evergreen trees in the history of the NBA. Jabbar not only played in the NBA for 20 seasons, but also helped the Lakers win the championship when he was 40 years old.

Before James broke the record of Kareem Abdul Jabbar, he also occupied the throne of the top scorer in history. When James broke the record last season, 76 year old Kareem Abdul Jabbar also personally came to celebrate him. So on the whole, Abdul Jabbar must be qualified to be James' introducer.

1. Jordan

As one of the greatest players in the history of the NBA, Jordan is the only player who may be the first to beat James in the historical position. In 15 years of NBA career, Jordan has led the team to win the championship six times, which can be said that he personally created the Bull Dynasty in the 1990s. Today, looking at his winning rate of six finals and six championships in that year will still be very exaggerated. In terms of personal honor, although Jordan has not played for a long time, he has won 5 MVPs and 10 scoring kings. As a guard, he was also elected DPOY.

Despite his historical status, Jordan was also an idol of James when he was young. The latter publicly said that he wore No. 23 jersey because of Jordan. In many early interviews, James has expressed his respect for Jordan more than once, so it is appropriate for Jordan to be his introducer.
