LeBron on Ben Simmons Being Compared to Him: 'Ben is Ben & I am Who I am'

LeBron James doesn't want Ben Simmons to be compared to him: 'I am who I am' LeBron James is a once-in-a-generation type of player, but with him being in the latter half of his career it's popular to be on the lookout for the next great talent. His size and do-everything skill set is the exact type of player teams want to build around in today's NBA. As everybody seeks out the next LeBron, a popular pick among fans is 76ers rookie Ben Simmons. The young wing has taken the league by storm with his ability to run an offense, attack off the dribble, and pull down boards. Sounds a lot like a young LeBron, doesn't it? They even share the same agent. James, however, doesn't want to hear it.
