Steve Kerr, Who Won 3 Championships With Michael Jordan, Declared LeBron James as the Best Athlete Ever

Back in 2019, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr termed LeBron James “the best athlete to ever walk this planet”.

LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the most iconic sporting individuals. Having dominated the NBA since setting foot into the league in 2003, Bron has managed to become one of the most successful stars we’ve ever seen.

Being versatile, durable, physical, and extremely talented, LBJ has been able to rack up a pretty illustrious resume. The King’s overly-stacked trophy cabinet includes 18 All-Star appearances, 18 All-NBA selections, 4 MVPs, 1 scoring title, 4 championships, and 4 Finals MVPs, among several others.

As soon as the quote went viral on social media, NBA Twitter had several reactions.

LeBron James, at age 37, is entering his 20th season. Despite failing to make an impact over the past few seasons, Bron and co. are one dangerous squad.
