LeBron James once confessed that he apologized to his wife for wanting to be the best NBA player ever. Back in 2017,  LeBron was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. During that time, he appeared in an episode of the ‘Road Trippin” podcast. That chat session was hosted by former NBA stars Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, who were LeBron’s Cavs teammates at the time. They were also joined by co-host and sideline reporter Allie Clifton. The episode came out on March 6, 2017.

Every athlete undoubtedly strives to be the best in their respective sports. LeBron James is no different. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has entered his 20th NBA season this year. After all these years in the league, fans might agree that King James has achieved a certain level of greatness. He is arguably one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

LeBron is often compared to NBA legends such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Being mentioned in the same sentence as such well-established greats of the game is probably a dream that many wish to achieve. Similarly, James also entered the league with a certain set of goals. However, it often happens that people tend to forget about certain significant figures in their lives on their journey to be the best.
