LeBron James is arguably the greatest player of all time and is a role model to a lot of people. His off-court impact rivals that of his on-court achievements. He is also one of the most popular people in the world and is an icon for young players. High school and college players look up to him for advice and, more often than not, he would provide them with it.

LeBron is also one of the greatest leaders in the NBA. He has advocated for player mobility and he has also provided platforms for players to use their voices on. If LeBron James has something to say, most of the players listen to it and try to implement it. He also advises his young teammates and players who intend to follow his path.

In the game against the Brooklyn Nets, LeBron could be seen giving advice to the Lakers rookie Austin Reaves. Reaves is a two-way player who made his way from the G League. He impressed the Lakers enough in the pre-season to be part of the Lakers roster. LeBron could be seen telling something to Reaves and by judging by Reaves reactions, it could very well be said that it blew his mind.

LeBron later took to Instagram to post what he said to Reaves. He referenced the relationship between Tony Stark(Iron Man) and Peter Parker(Spiderman) from the Marvel Cinematic Universe world. Tony was a mentor and father figure to a young Peter Parker.LeBron mentioned the dialogue, which Tony says to Peter. It goes, “Don’t do anything I would do. And definitely don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. There’s a lil gray area in there and that’s where you operate.”
