No one needs to question LeBron James’ place in history. For years people have questioned his place among the greatest who ever played the game. They’ve questioned whether he had the attitude and grit to lead his hometown team- a team who had not won a championship since the days of Jim Brown- to the ultimate pinnacle. It’s time for everyone to shut up. No more. No more should we hear any questions about whether LeBron James is among the likes Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Bill Russel. He’s done something that each one of those men never did. Jordan and Magic never led two franchises to championship’s. Russell never came back from a 3-1 hole in the Finals. And no one in the history of the NBA has ever led not just his own team but BOTH teams in all statistical categories. Not even Kobe Bryant, who played in the same decade and is widely recognized as a greater player than LeBron can say he led both teams in all statistical categories. Last summer he had to depend on Matthew Dellavedola. This year he had Kyrie Irving at his side who tried to make a run at earning Finals MVP honors. He hit the game winning three in the fourth quarter of Game 7, but it was LeBron’s monster block of Andre Igudola with the game tied at 89 that set up that game winning shot. Now, LeBron gets to finally hoist that trophy in a place he dreamed about since he was drafted number one overall by Cleveland in 2003. This Summer 2016, we witnessed one of the greatest Finals performances ever. For me, being born in 1992, it is in fact the greatest Finals performance I’ve ever seen. This is LeBron’s finest moment. I’m 99% sure we will never see another man dominate the Finals like we saw LeBron dominate. It’s one thing to win a championship with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in a city like Miami, that isn’t known as a sports town. When you win a championship for the city of Cleveland, you’re a curse breaker. You’re a superhero. A folk legend. Dare I say a god in the eyes of Clevelanders. He didn’t just beat the Warriors. He beat the 73 win Warriors. With the unanimous MVP in his way of winning his third ring. This no doubt was an all-time performance that will be talked about 50 years after he retires. LeBron has done nothing short of cementing his legacy is a top five player of all-time. He’s a top five player because of all the different ways he affects the game. The scary thought is that he still probably has at least four or five really good seasons left. He could do some damage to the record books and further cement his legacy. Think about where we started with him. We’ve known about LeBron James since he was 14. He was dubbed “The King” and “The Chosen One”. And he actually lived up to both of those titles. Rarely does an athlete live up and exceed expectations like LeBron. Peyton Manning comes to mind. Maybe even Bryce Harper. Adrian Peterson as well. Then there’s LeBron James. He’s accomplished everything and then some. At this point he can just pad his stats. By the time he’s done playing we very well might be talking about him being the best basketball player of all-time.
