LeBron James was born to play basketball. Heās 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 isnāt as dominant as his fans want to make you think. Then again, according to Stat Muse, thatās exactly the opposite.
LeBron James Leads The NBA In Everything Since 2003
Per Stat Museās report, LeBron James has been by far the most dominant player in the NBA over the past 17 years, as heās currently leading the league in pretty much every single major stat:
+ 1st in games
+ 1st in minutes
+ 1st in wins
+ 1st in points
+ 1st in MVP awards
+ 1st in All-Star nods
+ 1st in All-NBA nods
+ 1st in playoff games
+ 1st in playoff minutes
+ 1st in playoff wins
+ 1st in playoff points, rebounds, assists
+ 1st in rings
Also, weād like to add that, during that span,The King is first in NBA Finals appearances as well, as heās made it to basketballās ultimate stage 10 times throughout his career, including 8 consecutive and 9 of the past 10.
Thatās just a testament to LeBron Jamesā durability. The way he takes care of his body and the money he spends to continue performing at the highest level definitely pay off, as it seems like he can still play at the highest level for another 3 or 4 years despite being on his 18th season already.
