LeBron James is one of the greatest NBA players of all time. He had it in his mind to be the best ever since he was in high school. He is also the sole competitor who will probably topple Michael Jordan as the Greatest of All Time.
The first and only player to average a triple-double in the NBA Finals is LeBron James. During the 2016–17 NBA Finals, he had an absurd 33.6–12–10 average.
LeBron James is the only player in NBA history to have made it to 4 NBA Finals with 2 different teams, the Miami Heat (four times, from 2010–11 to 2013–14), and the Cleveland Cavaliers (5 times, 2006-07 & 2014-15 to 2017-18). LeBron James has won the NBA championship three times in his nine appearances.
The 37-year-old Lakers' legend has more or less maintained his consistency throughout, averaging over 2000 points per season. He has a unique physique; he was drafted right out of high school.
LeBron James is a hulking physical force with a brilliant basketball IQ. James has played in the NBA for 15 seasons, and other than his debut year, he has consistently averaged more than 25 points per game.
Former players such as Wilt Chamberlain averaged 25 points per game for eight consecutive seasons; however, he also scored 50 points in one season, but that was in a different era with fewer teams.
LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers is breaking scoring records. James is just on the verge of surpassing Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record.
By the end of his 20-year career, Kareem had accrued 38,387 points. LeBron is also on track to break his record while competing in his 20th season, which is almost poetic.
