Whether you love him or hate him, it is undeniable that LeBron James has solidified himself as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
From the day he stepped foot into the league fresh out of high school to his current ripe-old age of 39, his storied career includes many milestones. So let's take a look at 'The King's five greatest achievements of his career (so far).
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.
