For nearly 20 years now, LeBron James has been dominating the league. Being one of the most versatile, physical, and endurable basketball players, King James has had a pretty illustrious career. With a resume as decorated as his – 18 All-Star appearances, 18 All-NBA selections, 6 All-Defensive selections, 4 MVPs, 4 NBA championships, and 4 Finals MVPs – there is no doubt as to why he is considered one of the GOATs.
Despite being 37 years old, Bron has shown no signs of slowing down soon. Playing in his 19th year this past campaign, LBJ somehow managed to defeat the infamous father time and put on a show despite the Lakers’ failures.
In the 56 games that James played for the LA-based franchise, the star forward went on to average a stellar 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists on an impressive 52.4% shooting from the field.

To be honest, LeBron has been an average three-point shooter all his life, having a career 3FG% of 34.6%. It doesn’t seem to be the case that the megastar is trying to clone Curry’s game. In fact, it should be a good sight for Lakers Nation, seeing LBJ work on his long-distance shots.
