LeBron James Vibes to Nas’ 40 Side As He Takes Another Shot at Haters
Follow Us
LeBron James, aka ‘The King’ is one of, if not the greatest basketball player to step on the hardwood. A 4x Champion, 4x Finals-MVP, 4x MVP, 10 Finals appearances with 13 All-NBA First Team selections, James is a savant, a cultural icon of the modern era, perhaps the true successor to none other than Michael Jordan!
And while he has nothing left to prove on the basketball court heading into his 19th season, James admittedly will head into the coming season with some extra motivation. With seeds of doubt over LeBron’s ability as a Top-5 player in the NBA, it looks like the #WashedKing narrative has resurfaced.
But, last time around, that din’t end well for James’ critics, as he came back with a vengeance, making a case for the MVP, and steamrolling his way to a 4th championship! That said, here we are once again. LeBron’s heard all the slander, all the doubt. And, he’s already up at 5AM heading for a workout!

One common thing about the great ones, they always bounce back!
