As LeBron James guided the Los Angeles Lakers to the 2020 NBA Finals, he received a ton of praise flowing in from all parts of the world. LeBron is standing tall in his 17th year in the league and his striving to win his fourth championship. Reigning Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton posted a congratulatory message on social media to laud LeBron’s greatness. 

This is the tenth career finals appearance for LeBron James, who is inching closer towards winning his fourth ring. While that remains to be seen, King James has already broken a list of records by just closing out Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets and reaching the finals. 

Looking at James’ impeccable achievements pushed Lewis Hamilton to acknowledge his feat, and the British driver posted an Instagram story recently. “Wow this is just amazing,” Hamilton wrote about LeBron James. “Brought the Heat and now we go into the finals. Goat Levels. Can’t wait for this,” he added.

Moreover, Hamilton realizes that the Lakers are making it to the finals for the first time since Kobe Bryant guided them to glory in 2010. The Mercedes driver urged LeBron to seal the W for Kobe and subsequently posted a beautiful piece of art to honor the fallen icon. 

It is incredible to see the immense respect Lewis and LeBron share. They’re both at the top of their games, looking to add more to their legacy. While LeBron is in pursuit of title #4, Lewis Hamilton is on a league of his own in the F1 business. The Brit is racing to conquer his 4th straight driver’s championship this year, which would also see him equal Michael Schumacher’s tally.
