LeBron James
LA Lakers’ LeBron James is one of the prime athletes in the world right now and is widely regarded as one of the best players to ever step on a basketball court.
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has won plenty of team as well as individual accolades in a career in the NBA spanning nearly two decades, and he is currently preparing for his 20th year in the NBA this off-season – before the 37-year-old starts the new campaign in October.
LeBron spent a legendary career in the NBA that saw him play for the Cleveland Cavaliers over two spells as well as the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers, winning four NBA Championship titles, four MVP awards, four Finals’ MVPs and many other All-Star accolades.
However, even at 37 after enjoying a career every professional would be envious of, the King is not quite done yet.
James signed a two year extension to his current deal running with the Lakers earlier this summer, one that will see him in the City of Angels until the 2023/24 season.
A player of LeBron’s consistency and longevity comes along only once in a generation, and Lakers fans are excited to see how he finishes up the twilight years of a legendary career.
What did the fans have to say about LeBron?
When LeBron acknowledged going into the 20th season of his NBA career on his Twitter, grateful Lakers fans celebrated the career of a legendary athlete with their tweets.
While one said: “Appreciate the greatness he brings to the court might never see an athlete like LeBron James”, another wishes: “Good afternoon to the Greatest of All Time.”
Another fan with a similar sentiment commented: “Forever the GOAT of basketball”, while another comment read: “LETS GO GOAT YEAR 20 5TH RING ON THE WAYYYY.”
With a roster also featuring superstars such as the likes of Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and the newly recruited Patrick Beverley, Lakers have great odds of reclaiming the NBA Championship – and as for LeBron, he has a brilliant chance of winning a fifth and final ring.
