His legacy keeps on growing as he’s currently on his 22nd season playing at the highest level and people wonder what’s the secret behind his success. James revealed how he has dealt with all the outside noise and exceeded expectations along the way.

The controversy around the campaign
The Nike Zoom LeBron II Chamber of Fear ad campaign was genius in origin but an oversight in affect. Funnily placing LeBron in a Bruce Lee type role where he battled his pending challenges and demons in kung-fu flick style spoof commercials, the concept was well-executed but caused international controversy.
Banned in China, the spot was said to not uphold “national dignity” and “interest and respect” to that of the communist country, according to a report from NiceKicks.com.
China’s State Administration for Radio, Film and Television stated that the commercial went “against rules that require ads not to contain content that blasphemes national practices and cultures” and that it “received an indignant response from Chinese viewers.”
When the controversy happened, then 19-years old LeBron said thate the commercial was made for kids and already mindful of how excited he was to go to the Olympic Games that weregonna be hosted in Beijing for 2008.
