LeBron James, the kid from Akron, Ohio, who entered the NBA in 2003 and immediately started scoring 20 points per game is now a 38-year-old Los Angeles Laker averaging 30 points every night he steps on the court. The 6-foot-9 powerhouse remains the best all-around player, notching his latest incredible accomplishment in February 2023, when he passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and became the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. The question now isn’t whether King James will ever get his fifth championship title, but how his legacy stacks up against Michael Jordan. Who’s the GOAT? This issue answers that question, once and for all!
