5. Lakers championship

in 2020 LeBron and the Lakers had to handle an enormous amount of adversity, battling through the NBA bubble and an unprecedented season to reach championship glory. That's not to say no other team had to deal with the same challenges, but whichever team won, it was always going to be special.

But for LeBron, this Disneyworld championship was significant in solidifying his place among the greats (if he hadn't already done so). One of the knocks often brought up against LeBron is his ability to win, with a finals record of four wins and six losses.

However this championship in particular has shown that LeBron is in fact a certified winner. He had come to the Lakers having won 'chips in Cleveland and Miami and there were a number of doubts about his age and his ability to carry a team all the way. Yet he still found a way to get over the line and the screams of a "superteam" in Miami and the claims that Kyrie Irving was the only reason LeBron won in Cleveland started to fade.

Because with this win it quickly became clear that success didn't follow LeBron where he went, he brought it with him.
