James is an absolute athletic freak . His mind is what would set him apart . His photographic memory . I remember reading about this in athletes and it is theorized that this is what makes them special in ways other great players can ' t . This allows him to always be aware of every player on the floor , or ice , learn players tendencies , and make the right play . When You watch old gretzky highlights , it ' s hard to say what made him great , cuz his highligts aren ' t flashy . He just knew where to be , and where everyone was . This is what set him apart . Gretzky also has eidetic memory . I think if James had played hockey as a kid , he ' d be a phenomenal defensemen in today ' s game . <| sep |> having deadly force on hand when team rivalry and I assume alcohol are involved seems like a bad idea in general . and . why take pistols to a football game in the first place ? .
