He played for the Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 in his first stint and won MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. Even though the Akron Hammer was almost unstoppable on the court and won many individual accolades, team success was hard to come by.?

James then left the Cavs and took his talents to the Miami Heat in 2010. He received major backlash from Cavs fans after this move. However, he continued his dominance, alongside superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Heat, and clinched his first NBA title in 2012, followed by another in 2013. He also won the NBA MVP award and the Finals MVP award in 2012 and 2013.

The estranged son then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and took the team to four straight NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. He helped the Cavs win their first-ever NBA title in 2016.

James once again left the Cavs, this time to join the Los Angeles Lakers, in 2018 and led them to the 2020 NBA title.

James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand's political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner's detainment in Russia sparked some controversy.

Will LeBron James retire?

LeBron James, 38, is currently playing his 20th NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at a highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2022-23 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.
