LeBron James
LeBron James has undoubtedly put in a lot of effort over the course of his illustrious career and is rightfully regarded by many experts and basketball lovers as the game’s all-time greatest player. King James is undoubtedly one of the most successful superstars the league has ever seen, it is also true that he is easily one of the most disrespected persons of all time.
Even after having cemented himself in the NBA as one of the greatest players of all time, many still think he is not given enough credit. LeBron has been “disrespected,” according to commentator Shannon Sharpe, because of the people he is frequently compared to.
Sharpe claimed on “Skip and Shannon: Undisputed” that even though James has surpassed all expectations, the general public still prefers Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan. Bryant won five championships, compared to Jordan’s six. “It’s not even close. … LeBron James,” Sharpe said. “He has exceeded everything you could have possibly thought he could be, but he’s still not Jordan. He’s not graceful like Kobe, and he cakewalked the East.”
James’ resume speaks for itself, despite the fact that he hasn’t amassed as many titles as some of the other renowned players. James has played in 18 All-Star games and has four MVP trophies to go along with four titles. Kareem Abdul-all-time Jabbar’s scoring record is also expected to be broken by him this season.
Lebron signs a multi-million-dollar deal with the Lakers
With the Lakers, LeBron James has agreed to a two-year contract with a player option. James will continue to play for the Los Angeles Laker until his son makes the NBA. He and the Lakers reached a two-year, $97.1 million deal, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. While most fans were ecstatic upon hearing this, Lebron received hate online for his apparent selfish behaviour, he was most notably target by skip Bayless for his contract extension
Lebron James has overtaken Kevin Durant, who previously held the record following his consent to a maximum deal with the Brooklyn Nets, with his new contract. James is now the player with the highest salary ever in the history of the NBA. He has been every bit the dominant player of his prime over the previous two seasons while healthy. James has occasionally said that he wants to play on the same team as his son Bronny when Bronny enters the NBA.
Will Lebron James lead the lakers once again to title glory?
The LA Lakers are attempting to go back into the playoffs after a poor 2021–22 season. LeBron James, who is still defying the odds, averaging 30.3 points per game last season despite being 37 years old. The Lakers may once again be a force to reckon with in the Western Conference if they can maintain their health. It won’t be simple because Western competitiveness and talent levels have increased quickly.
Last season, the Lakers had a record of 33-49 and were 11th in the West. Since the Lakers won the 2020 championship on the verge, there has been a severe decline. They had a record of 42-30 and were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs in 2020–21. Lebron James has won four championships with three different teams, but he hasn’t had the same level of consistency with the Lakers as he did with his other teams.
The Lakers have failed to go past the first round of the playoffs twice after winning the 2020 championship. Given that he recently extended his contract for another two years, he should be motivated to return to the playoffs and attempt another championship run. In a tweet from this summer, he made this promise and stated that he would never again miss the playoffs.
