Another 10 for 10 Interview with my good friend I met at camp CJ

Lebron James Interview with CJ Emery
People.com

This interview is with a friend I met in New Hampshire while I worked at a rich kids summer camp. While we weren't with the kids we were making half court shot bets and you can pretty much guess who won. I can tell you one thing though the man CJ knew how to find great eating spots when we had our days off. All around cool guy who is also a great hockey player. Let's get to the interview!

Q:Who are you?

1.My name is CJ Emery I am 20 years old. You can follow me on Instagram @cjemery.

Q:How'd you find out about LeBron James?

2.I found out about lebron James mostly from being in LA and hearing people talk about wanting to see a lebron Kobe matchup.

Q:First reaction when you saw him play?

3.I can't remember the first time I ever saw him play. But everytime I've seen him play since ive started to get into basketball all I can ever really think about is how dominant he is.

Q:Favorite LeBron Game?

4.Not a favorite game but favorite series was his last finals in Cleveland. The way he carried his team all the way to the finals and managed to make a couple of those games close is nothing less than incredible.

Q:Player's Biggest Weakness?

5.I think his biggest weakness was worrying about his legacy too much. I can't really blame him for that since he's had to live with the Lebron MJ discussion for the past 10 years but I think it's hurt his rep. I also think on the court he's been guilty of trying to make too much happen.

Q:Biggest Strength?

6.I think his biggest strength is his IQ. He is unlike probably any other player in any other sport (besides Gretzky) in his ability to read the game. That is why he has been able to do so much with so little.

Q:First reaction when he won his first championship?

7.I was happy for him. It took a lot of guts to leave that bad situation in Cleveland that was his home town that he had put up with for so long. Obviously I wasn't thrilled with how he did it but I mean they made it work within the rules so I can't be mad.

Q:Thoughts on LeBron v Jordan V Kobe?

8.I've got lebron then MJ then Kobe. I think raw stats matter mire than finals wins and Lebron beats Jordan in most of those stats easily. I also think lebron has a more well rounded game than Kobe and also aged better than he did (as a lifelong lakers fan those last couple years were tough to watch). Lebron often catches flak for not having a "killer instinct" but I've always chalked that up more to his self awareness than anything else.

Q: Predictions for him this season?

9.I think in my biased opinion that he has a good shot of winning a title this year. So far he's seemed really willing and able to turn over more and more control to AD and other guys in the team. He's also playing more defense than he has in previous years. He won't put up the same points as he usually has but I see him going 23-10-7 with a couple of monster games when he feels like he needs to turn on the jets and take control.

Q:Predictions for rest of career?

10.I think he will continue to age gracefully much like Wade where he accepts more limited roles. He also relies more on IQ and less on athleticism then some other stars so that can extend his longevity. I think he'll win 1-2 rings in LA and then maybe another 1-2 over the rest of his career and retires after a season with his son (maybe tries to win one with him depending on the team.)

Shout out to my boy CJ for the awesome interview!!!! Just hoping all this basketball talk makes him a better half court shooter but I highly doubt it. I look forward to running into him again so I can beat him again.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
