"LeBron James is the Most Abused Athlete In The World": Unique stat shows that the Lakers superstar is the most disrespected athlete in the entire sporting community

Unique stat reveals that Lakers superstar LeBron James is the Most Abused Athlete in the World. Three other NBA stars also feature on the top 10 list.

LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players to ever step foot on the hardwood. Ever since Bron set foot as one of the most hyped rookies ever, he had an immediate impact for the Cavaliers and in no time, drew GOAT comparisons to the legend Michael Jordan.

In the basketball fraternity, King James has earned himself quite a distinguished resume – 17 All-Stars, 17 All-NBA, 4 NBA championships, 4 MVPs, 4 Final MVPs and will surely be enshrined in the Hall-Of-Fame once he decides to hang his boots.

Off the court, Bron is a successful businessman – on track to become a billionaire this year. A philanthropist – funding his famous I Promise School in Akron, Ohio. Works for social justice, voting rights, even helps in fighting racism and a loving family man.

There is just no real reason to hate what LBJ has achieved and preached over the past two decades. Yet, according to a unique stat, Bron is the most abused athlete in the world.
