The conversation regarding the greatest basketball player of all time may forever continue to be up for debate, but one thing is for sure, LeBron James will always be a part of the discussion. At 39 years old, amidst his 21st season in the NBA, James’ resume puts him on many NBA fans' Mount Rushmore.

The NBA’s all-time leading scorer, LeBron James is recognized as one of the greatest NBA players in the history of professional basketball. Debuting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was the first overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft. James’ move from the Cavaliers to the Miami Heat in 2010 is considered one of the boldest free-agent decisions in sports history. After winning two NBA championships in 2012 and 2013 for the Miami Heat, James returned to Cleveland. In 2016 he led the Cavaliers to their first NBA Championship, ending the city’s 52-year long professional sports title drought. After his 2020 Championship title with the Los Angeles Lakers, he became the only player to win the NBA Finals MVP with three different teams. 

A savvy businessman, LeBron is also the first player to receive a lifetime deal from Nike, and his off-court endeavors have made him the first active NBA player to become a billionaire.

LeBron’s legacy began in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. As a high school phenom at St. Vincent - St. Mary, LeBron and his teammates, dubbed the 'Fab Five', led the school to three state championships in four years. 

During his high school career, LeBron garnered national attention, appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school junior in 2002 with the headline 'The Chosen One', and achieving honors such as the Gatorade Player of the Year in 2002, and the McDonald’s All-American MVP in 2003.   

At 18 years old, LeBron James was selected first overall in the 2003 NBA draft, directly from high school, by his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. Immediately making an impact upon entering the league, LeBron became the first player in franchise history and the youngest player in NBA history to win the Rookie of the Year award, at 19 years old. 

In his first seven seasons in the NBA, James led the Cavaliers to 50 or more wins on four separate occasions, including a franchise record 66-win season in 2008-2009, collected two league MVPs, and led the Cavaliers to their first trip to the NBA Finals in 2007.

21 seasons into his career, LeBron James continues to further cement his legacy of excellence as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
