Early in his career, LeBron James faced all kinds of criticism, some fair, but most unfair. Entering the NBA with as much hype as he did meant some disappointment was to be expected. In the end, LeBron James proved to be his own man and no MJ clone, which is a good thing.
LeBron James didn’t spend his entire career with the same franchise and he teamed up with two other power players to win his rings. Even though he left Cleveland and broke their hearts, he came back. He has them in uncharted territory, two consecutive Finals appearances.
Himself, however, LeBron James is playing in his sixth consecutive NBA Finals tonight, seventh overall. Doing this with two different franchises and all seven appearances, three with Cleveand, and four with Miami, all within ten years is amazing and something no other leader has done. He did a pre-Finals interview talking about playing Steph Curry and the Warriors again.
