LeBron James is an epitome of greatness. LeBron has been in the NBA for 19 years. There has arguably not been one single season where someone could discredit LeBron on the basis of his effort. His dedication to the game transcends the years he has been playing at the elite level.

‘King James’ has well and truly excelled in every sense as a professional basketball player. He is second on the list for most points in history. And surely he will be on course to become the player with the most points next season. LeBron is the only player with 10,000 points, assists, and rebounds in history.

On and off the court, LeBron has truly achieved everything he has set his eyes on. And it looks like as he is nearing his retirement, LeBron has set another milestone in front of him.

“I wanna own a team. Yeah, I wanna buy a team for sure. I would much rather own a team before I talk. I want a team in Vegas. Yeah, I want a team in Vegas.” LeBron said about owning an NBA team.
