COLUMBUS, Ohio ? When Urban Meyer talks about leadership with his team, and he said that's 80 percent of what will determine how this season goes, he cites examples in sports for his players to follow.
One of his favorite players to point out? LeBron James.
?Michael Jordan is I think the greatest of all time,? Meyer said Thursday in Chicago at Big Ten media days. ?Michael Jordan's focus I would argue was the greatest of all-time. There was very little that could ever disrupt his train of thought. We just had something disrupt our team's train of thought. We just turned right, and you can't turn right. Now how do you get it back straight? I think that is so overlooked in the big picture.?
Meyer said getting the team back on track will be his job, along with strength coach Mickey Marotti and leaders like Jack Mewhort, Christian Bryant and Braxton Miller. And James, no stranger to criticism and distraction, can teach them all something.
?When I see LeBron James, I hear that criticism, I do know LeBron, not very well, but what are we talking about? You are talking about the perfect opportunity to get turned right or turned left. But he's one of the most driven human beings I've ever seen. He won't allow his team to. And I love using those examples we have and I love showing them, because our guys look up to them and there are other great players that don't have it. It doesn't mean they aren't good people, but they don't have that focus.
?During the Finals it was LeBron this and LeBron that. What are they talking about? Give me all kinds of LeBrons. Do you see the way he articulates, the way he treats people, the way he focuses? Those leadership meetings, those videos, his face is plastered all over. First, our guys admire him and the head coach really admires him and he's a great role model. To me, he and Jordan are the two that just separate.?
