LeBron James is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and often is talked about in the conversation for the greatest player of all time.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar is always spoken in the GOAT conversation with several names but some people believe he will go down as the greatest ever.
One of them is Isiah Thomas who has recently predicted that King James would go down as the greatest of all time. On an ESPN talk show with Shannon Sharpe, Isiah commented the NBA has never seen a player like James.
Isiah described James as a player who breaks records every night only to prove there has never been a player like him before in NBA history and also put forward the argument of LeBron’s versatility at different aspects of the game as a sign of his greatness.
Isiah said: “Some people will have a record in dominating one category but this dude dominates every single aspect of the court.”
The ex-NBA superstar-turned NBA analyst added: “dominating the game from the wing position, something like that has never happened in the history of our sport,” and also predicted that it is going to be hard to look back in 10 years and not say that LeBron is one of the best.
“Athlete, body, performance, consistency” LeBron James had it all according to Isiah, and he added that “we are talking about a freak and not the Greek one” a reference to Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, commonly known as the Greek Freak.
Isiah is not wrong as a 37-year-old LeBron James is still going strong as he put pen to paper on a new two-year extension with the Lakers, and will hope to win another Championship ring before he hangs his boots up on a glorious and widely celebrated career.
