James hit the game-winner to seal his fifth consecutive win in the All-Star Game as captain. Discussing what the game-winning shot meant to him as a native of Akron, James provided an emotional response at the post-game press conference:
Alongside some of the greatest to ever do it at the NBA’s 75 greatest ceremony, LeBron James put on a show in front of one of his idols Michael Jordan.
Crediting Jordan for being the inspiration behind his game-winning shot as well as his growth as a player, the Bulls legend acknowledged that the 37-year old superstar continues to make a case for being the greatest of all time.
LeBron James’ career so far
Currently, playing his 19th NBA campaign at the age of 37, it is safe to say that LeBron James has had one of the most illustrious and impressive careers of any player in the league.
James has accumulated a long list of accolades that sees him being rated alongside some of the greatest in the game. A 4x NBA Champion, 4x NBA Finals MVP, 4x MVP and 18x All-Star are only a few of the accomplishments he has in a rather impressive resume.
With over 36,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and nearly 10,000 assists recorded over the course of his career, LeBron James is in a league of his own. Playing at a high level even at this stage of his career, James recently became the NBA’s leading scorer when combining regular-season and playoff points.
While that is a testament to his longevity, the LA Lakers superstar continues to be at the receiving end of criticism as his Lakers find themselves in a miserable position this season.
Barely clinging onto a play-in position, the Purple and Gold will hope that James leads them to a run of wins to see them through to the postseason.
