The biggest news to come out of the 2023 ESPYs was LeBron James dismissing his self-generated retirement rumors. However, King James silently bagged the biggest W this summer long before the start of the 2023-24 season. Not only did the four-time NBA Champion receive an ESPY for breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record earlier this year, but the blissful support and appreciation of the James family made him look like a King in actuality. After the event, James’ sons Bronny and Bryce shared a ‘family photo’ from their eventful outing with their 9,200,000 followers on social media to commemorate their father’s achievement.
