When we talk about LeBron James, we talk about basketball. Since his leap from St. Vincent-St.
Mary High School at 19 years old to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003, LeBron has become the all-time leading scorer in NBA history, along with setting countless records over his 21-year career.
In my opinion, the career of the “Chosen One” is the greatest in the history of basketball.
The longevity, consistency, and the fact that he’s been a top 20 player for 21 straight years-I’m being generous with that ranking-set him apart.
LeBron has played so well that he’s now getting the chance to share the court with his son Bronny James, a dream any NBA father would cherish.
LeBron’s six seasons with the Lakers have been nothing short of exceptional.
With a championship in the bubble and averages of 27.0 points, 8.0 assists, and 7.9 rebounds over 349 games, LeBron has delivered since day one in California.
James has been the highest-paid player on the team since he arrived, and rightfully so.
For the 2024-25 season, he’s set to earn $48.7 million, but for franchise owner Jeanie Buss, it’s still a bargain.
“I think he’s so competitive, it’s really gotta be something that he wants to do,” Buss told Petros and Money on AM 570 LA Sports.
James is likely chasing his fifth ring, one with his son, before he retires.
His MVP-winning performance in the Paris Olympics showed that with the right team around him, James can still lead them to a championship, even at 40 years old.
