LeBron James is arguably one of the best players to ever play the game of basketball. He has been an All-Star 18 times out of the 19 seasons he has played in the league. ‘The King’ has four championships under his belt. He also has four MVP awards along with four Finals MVPs to his name. Fans can see LeBron James putting in the work year in and year out throughout his career. 

So it should come as no surprise to anyone if the players he plays against in the league praise him as well. One of the more recent players to join this discussion was Boston Celtics star, Jaylen Brown.

Due to Irving’s injury, the Celtics fell short to the Cleveland Cavaliers in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Cavs won the series 4-3 and advanced to the NBA Finals before finally coming short in front of the Golden State Warriors. 

However, the Celtics-Cavaliers series was where LeBron James had his foot on the pedal. He bulldozered his way through the Celtics team and lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to victory. And to answer the question, Brown said, “That was the best form of LeBron that I’ve ever experienced since I’ve been in the league. That 2018 LeBron was special.”

LeBron still going strong at 37

In the series which went to seven games, LeBron James was in high gear throughout. He averaged 33.6 PPG, 9.0 RPG, and 8.4 APG against the Boston Celtics. Like always, James went into playoff mode and willed his team to victory. Even after falling short to the Warriors in the NBA Finals, James was the leader in total points for the 2018 NBA playoffs.

The Celtics were a young team back then, with their core just starting to develop and take its form. If Irving hadn’t been injured, the Celtics maybe could’ve given the Cavaliers a run for their money in that series. 

Even at 37 years of age, LeBron James is still going strong. He averaged 30.3 PPG, 8.2 RPG, and 6.2 APG last season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
