Lebron James is one of the greatest players ever. In this video we will take a look why old school fans pick Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul Jabbar over Lebron. Even Larry Bird and Magic Johnson in my opinion are better than Lebron James.
LeBron Raymone James Sr. is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Widely considered one of the best players in NBA history, James is frequently compared to Michael Jordan in debates over the greatest basketball player ever.[1] The only player to have won NBA championships with three franchises (the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat, and the Lakers) as NBA Finals MVP,[2] James has competed in ten NBA Finals, eight of them consecutively with the Heat and the Cavaliers from 2011–2018. His accomplishments include four NBA championships, four NBA MVP awards, four NBA Finals MVP awards, and two Olympic gold medals. During his 17-year career, James holds the record for all-time playoffs points, is third in all-time points, and eighth in career assists. James has been selected to the All-NBA Team a record 17 times (with a record of 13 First Team selections and 11 consecutive First Team selections, the latter of which is shared with Jordan and Karl Malone), made the NBA All-Defensive First Team five times, and has been named an All-Star 17 times, including three All-Star MVP selections.
James played basketball for St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, where he was heavily touted by the national media as a future NBA superstar. A prep-to-pro, he was selected by Cleveland with the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft. Named the 2003–04 Rookie of the Year, he soon established himself as one of the league’s premier players, winning the NBA MVP Award in 2009 and 2010. After failing to win a championship with Cleveland, James left in 2010 to sign as a free agent with Miami. This move was announced in an ESPN special titled The Decision, and is one of the most controversial free-agent decisions in sports history. James won his first two NBA championships while playing for the Heat in 2012 and 2013; in both of these years, he also earned league MVP and Finals MVP. After his fourth season with the Heat in 2014, James opted out of his contract to re-sign with the Cavaliers. In 2016, he led the Cavaliers to victory over the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals by coming back from a 3–1 deficit, delivering the franchise’s first championship and ending Cleveland’s 52-year professional sports title drought. In 2018, James exercised his contract option to leave the Cavaliers and signed with the Lakers, where he won the 2020 championship and was awarded his fourth Finals MVP. In 2021, James became the first player in NBA history to accumulate $1 billion in earnings as an active player.
James left high school as one of the most hyped prospects in NBA history.[c] Upon entering the NBA, he made an immediate impact and was voted Rookie of the Year in his debut season.[319] As of June 2021, he has been named to 17 All-NBA Teams, including 13 times to the first-team, which are both NBA records.[320] His four MVP awards are matched only by Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell; James and Russell are the only players to win four MVP awards in a five-year span.[321] James has also won four Finals MVP Awards, which is the second-most all-time,[322] and earned All-Defensive honors every season from 2009 to 2014.[41] While James has never won the Defensive Player of the Year Award, he has finished second in the voting twice and lists it as one of his main goals.[62][323] His teams have appeared in the Finals ten times and won four championships. His ten Finals appearances are tied for third all-time.[d] Some analysts have criticized him for not having a better Finals record, while others have countered that James usually performed well but his team was defeated by superior competition.
