LeBron James has won his fourth ring after appearing in the NBA Finals for the 10th time in his career. The 35-year-old has spent 17 years in the league and is yet to slow down.

Before LBJ joined the NBA, he was no different than any other kid. He was raised by his mother in his father’s absence. But these adversities served to make him stronger, and today he has become an NBA champion for the fourth time.

After the celebrations, James called his mother and thanked her for always being with him.

A tweet by Shams Charania read, “LeBron James FaceTimes his mother Gloria after winning his fourth title: ‘Everything that you had been through, everything that I had seen, there’s nothing that can stop me… I hope I continue to make you proud, Mom.'”

James has already solidified his place in history books with numerous accolades over the years. James’ next goal will be to become the greatest player of all time. However, LBJ might be still one or two championships away from realizing that dream. He is competing with none other than “His Airness” Michael Jordan for the GOAT title.

With the Lakers being crowned as the NBA champions for the 17th time in franchise history, James has already fulfilled his promise of once again making LA the champions. Despite going through a bumpy road to the finals, many still believe that this championship was a cakewalk for the Lakers.

The reality, however, is that the Lakers and LeBron James were simply a notch above the entire league this season. James had yet another dominant playoff run and averaged 27.6 points in the postseason.
