The 2001 first-overall pick pointed out how changes in the game, particularly the shift in position roles, have helped LeBron succeed.<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;I believe LeBron James is going to leave the game worse than he found it,&rdquo;<\/em> Brown said in a recent interview. <\/p><p><em>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s just my opinion because he doesn&rsquo;t have any accountability for how he has impacted the game. And a lot of the things, he admitted it, he said the quiet part out loud&rdquo;, <\/em>he added.<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;LeBron James is a football player playing basketball. They moved these rules so that his skill set could work. They got rid of the power forward. They got rid of all these people who could contest his shots and be there at the basket.
