I mean just look at him in that video.
Not about to dominate another year in the most athletic league in the world.
I don’t know if it is possible but I think we actually take LeBron for granted.
But someday it will and that’s going to suck for the league.
Last season there were four players in the NBA that were born after LeBron was drafted by the Cavs.
Well for everyone except LeBron apparently.
This next part was inspired not only by LeBron’s freakishly long career but also by my son.
Yesterday he got his braces off after about 18 months.
It was pure, unbridled joy.
That relief has to be a top tier moment from growing up for many.
But let’s see where it lands in the power rankings…
1.
Imagine if we still got this feeling as adults.
Depression rates would plummet, wars would cease, and the amount of airport freakout videos would dwindle.
It would be bad for our business but great for world morale.
Getting your license
The second greatest form of freedom during childhood.
It would take the top spot but it only happens once.
It also was the first private place to take girls for most people.
Like a mobile hotel room to do all the finger bangin' and tonsil hockey your little heart desires.
Speaking of…
3.
Losing virginity
The order of these two might be controversial but hear me out.
A first kiss opens an entire new universe.
That feeling is magical.
So magical there is literally an entire industry making movies based around first kisses.
The first time you get laid is almost always underwhelming.
Probably because you busted in 30 seconds and had no clue what you were doing.
It’s an ego thing.
You have already been whackin' it for years and also probably already had gotten some head.
Getting the exact present you wanted
6.
Walking into Toys R Us with a hand full of gift cards
These two go hand in hand.
There was no greater power trip.
Probably the first time in your entire childhood you were in complete control.
The world was your oyster and who knows what you might find in those magical aisles.
You’re basically gifting financial freedom.
You’re more worried about what people might be thinking than what they actually probably are.
And being able to mix Cheetos back into your snack rotation is clutch.
Turn 21
People are probably going to be pissed this one landed so low but the truth hurts.
First of all, you have probably been drinking for 4-6 years at this point.
Enjoy your alcohol poisoning.
Any field trip
If you’re like me this was an elite day every time.
They were never able to keep an eye on everyone so it was like Marshall law.
We were so bad at my middle school they literally banned us from field trips.
Looking back that feels like quite an impressive accomplishment.
Grandma/grandpa would sneak you money
This is a sneaky underrated moment from childhood.
I can’t wait to have grand kids so I can pull this move.
