LeBron James was born to play basketball. He’s been stealing the headlines since he was a high school kid growing up in Akron, Ohio, and he has surpassed every single expectation as a professional as well.
The world was eager to watch James make it to the NBA since 2002. He entered the league as the 1st overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft and changed the course of basketball history forever.
Even so, some people believe that James is far from the GOAT consideration or isn’t as dominant as his fans want to make you think. Then again, according to Stat Muse, that’s exactly the opposite.
