LeBron James has firmly established himself as one of, if not, the greatest players in the history of the NBA. Everything from his 10 trips to the NBA Finals to winning 4 Finals MVPs and 4 regular season MVPs is enough to put anybody in the conversation for being the GOAT.

James, unlike a handful of players in the league like Stephen Curry, Austin Rivers, or Gary Payton II, did not come from a professional basketball background. His biological father, who was not in the picture during his childhood and throughout his life, was thought to have been an athletic man but not much is known of him.
Bron had to work for every single that he has achieved to this day and by the time he was 15 years old, he was already dubbed as being ‘The King’ high expectations to live up to as a sophomore living in Akron, Ohio.
LeBron James says his mini hoop is the greatest investment in league history
It seems as though the Lakers superstar has been in love with the game of basketball ever since he was in diapers. A recent picture of him while he was 3 years old receiving a basketball hoop for Christmas resurfaced proving just the same.
What makes this even more heartwarming is the fact that James agrees with a caption that read, “greatest $25 investment in the history of the NBA” by writing ‘facts’.
James has proven himself time and time again that he is more than capable of living up to the expectations set by others onto him. Well, it makes sense as to why considering the fact that he’s been shooting hoops for over 35 years.
LeBron James is having his 20th year wasted
The Los Angeles Lakers front office has done an abysmal job at surrounding an aging yet incredibly effective LeBron James with the talent he deserves to compete for a championship. While they did win it in 2020, James is still a top 10 player in the league.
Instead of having weapons that could benefit him on the offensive end of the floor like floor spacers and perimeter defenders, they’ve gotten him guys who clog the paint and can’t hold their own on an island.
