It would have been so tough for a 17-year-old high school student to guard James. The game with James looks as a 17-year-old guy is playing with a bunch of 8-year-old kids. There is no chance of matching up to him, and they are terrified of him. None the less, there is now one more thing added to the legend of LeBron James in the history of the NBA.
