Follow Us
In the 17 years that LeBron James has played in the NBA, he has won 4 NBA titles. However, it is quite evident that the 2016 NBA Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers was by far his greatest achievement.
James and the Cavs faced the 73-9 Warriors and were down 1-3 against them in the NBA Finals. While most wrote them off, James and Kyrie Irving had other ideas. The duo went berserk and became the first-ever team to erase a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals.
Fast forward to 2020, James just won the fourth ring of his illustrious career, this time with the Lakers. Most players tend to relax in the offseason, but James uses this time to study the game of basketball. Previously, he was seen watching “The Last Dance” as homework, and now LBJ is watching his historic 2016 championship run.

But they would need to be at their 100% to accomplish this task. In fact, they need to add more pieces to their roster to improve their 3-pt shooting. This aspect of their game was still a glaring issue for the Lakers in both the regular season and the playoffs.
