Your new, undisputed (actually very disputed but let me enjoy this moment), World Basketball Champion and greatest basketball player of all time…LeBron James!!!
The kid from Akron, Ohio can literally do it all. He can pass, finish around the rim, rebound, defend and shoot despite people not thinking so. LeBron has faced some of the greatest teams of all time through his trial and tribulations to get his three rings.
On top of that, King James has played with some of the worst, underperforming and banged-up rosters in NBA Finals history. LeBron has given us back-to-back all-time Finals performances and at this point, there is nothing more we can ask for.
