LeBron James made his NBA debut in 2003. Michael Jordan played his last ever game in 2003. Almost 2 decades later, these are the two names up for contention for being the NBA GOAT. Almost poetic! LeBron has been on top of his game ever since he first stepped into the NBA. It is fair to say all throughout his achievements, trophies, success, and years at the highest level, he has had multiple primes.

That is something similar to what can be said about Michael Jordan as well. So it is only fair that LeBron always had the hunger to chase the GOAT status where MJ already had his name written.

LeBron very publicly has a personality of being “addicted” to success. He is someone who always wants to prove himself. He just completed his 19th season in the NBA and he still had the same determination. His dedication has always been one of his biggest things. But with this dedication also came his obsession. He himself had admitted how his obsession once led to him apologizing to his wife.

James said, “I am addicted to the process. I’m addicted to the process. It’s so funny. I just told my wife the other day, I apologized to her. She was like ‘What are you apologizing for?’”

“I said ‘Because the journey that I’m on to want to be the greatest to ever play this game or to the point where no one ever forgets what I accomplished, I’ve at times lost the fact of how important you are to this whole thing. … I want you to understand that along this journey while I’m playing this game there will be times that I lose the fact of how important you and my three kids are—my babies are.’” LeBron said in an interview in 2017.

The Story of LeBron James and Wife Savannah James

LeBron and Savannah fell in love when they were in high school. They started dating when they were both 16 years old. Savannah was a cheerleader and a rising star, LeBron, caught her eye. LeBron starred in the NBA straight out of high school. So very clearly, his reputation was high. There were already people keeping an eye for LeBron. And naturally, as it turned out among those people was Savannah. Since she was with him from the start, LeBron always knew who he was going to marry.
