LeBron James arguably has the best resume amongst NBA players of past and present. Ever since he was in high school and before being ranked as a No.1 recruit, people claimed that he was very dominant. Every time he steps on the court, James always tries to be the best version of himself. Lucky for him, his dedication has always paid off for the better.
After 20 years in the league and being on the brink of turning 39 years old, the 4x NBA Champion is still playing as though he’s in his 20s. With the preseason underway, James has been giving frequent updates about himself on social media. There are several videos and highlights of him throwing down massive dunks and practicing his shot accuracy.
Last season, LeBron James averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. As a 38-year-old, these stats are highly impossible to achieve. James also puts in a lot of effort to maintain his fitness throughout the year. He became the NBA all-time scoring leader last season and is slowly inching his way past Michael Jordan in the GOAT debate. LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to have a better season when compared to last year as they have made several positive changes to the roster.
Kevin Hart questions LeBron James’ GOAT status
After all that LeBron James has done for the sport of basketball, several people look up to him. His peers have always had great things to say about him. Neither does James give them a reason to be looked down on. In terms of skill, the 19x All-Star possesses everything there is to be an elite player. He has also achieved more than any other player can do within 20 years of their career.
While James believes he’s done it all, Skylar Diggins-Smith has one achievement over him. A career feature that male athletes can never achieve. The Phoenix Mercury revealed that she played two seasons of her career while she was pregnant. While she was in The Shop, Diggins-Smith claimed that she led the league in minutes in both seasons.

Actor Kevin Hart, who is a good friend of LeBron James had four words for the superstar that probably humbled him. On finding out about Skylar’s story, he asked LeBron, “What are you doing?” The entire group including James burst out in laughter and continued with the show. However, this doesn’t discredit anything that he has done. Skylar’s choice to play while she was pregnant showed that she was determined to be the best amongst her peers.
