<p>There’s no doubt that<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a></strong> is one of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-15-Greatest-NBA-Players-of-All-Time-20200329-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>greatest players of all time</strong></a>. Ever since he made it to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong> </a>as the first-overall pick of the 2003 NBA Draft, there were a lot of expectations and hopes over his shoulders, and needless to say, <strong>he’s lived up to them and even surpassed them.</strong></p>
<p>LeBron James is a born-winner. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent and a gifted athlete, and the fact that he’s still going strong<strong> 17 years later </strong>is almost unprecedented and a testament to his relentless work ethic.</p>
<p>However, even The King has had its fair share of struggles in the most competitive basketball league in the world. Regardless of how dominant he’s been, he’s had a tough time winning NBA championships.<strong> Here, we’ll walk you through every single one of his 4 rings.</strong></p>

<h2>First Trip To The NBA Finals</h2>
<p>It didn’t take long before LeBron James led the <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers </strong>to basketball’s ultimate stage. During his 4th season in the league and at the ripe age of 22, he led a team with no other All-Star and against all odds.</p>
<p>However, the almighty <strong>San Antonio Spurs </strong>were just too overpowered for a young LeBron and his subpar supporting cast.<strong> Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili. and Tony Parker</strong> were just too much to handle and swept him that year.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-39">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>LeBron stood put through thick and thin with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the management’s inability to surround him with talented players eventually forced him out of the franchise <strong>to look for his first ring elsewhere.</strong></p>
<h2>The Heatles Era: LeBron’s First Two Rings</h2>
<p>LeBron James became the most hated guy on the planet when he said that he was ‘taking his talents to South Beach’ to join <strong>Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and the Miami Heat </strong>in the 2010 offseason.</p>
<p>There, he’d finally play with elite stars and, as expected, the Miami Heat was an unstoppable juggernaut that dominated the Eastern Conference even ahead of the <strong>Boston Celtics</strong>, who were the strongest team at the time.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-55">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>LeBron led the Heat to the Finals in 2011 and were heavily favored vs.<strong> Dirk Nowitzki </strong>and the <strong>Dallas Mavericks.</strong> However, The Great Teuton overcame adversities and beat the Heat’s <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/nba-big-three-every-team-best-trio-since-2000-20200804-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Big 3</strong></a> in 6 games.</p>
<p>The King came back stronger than ever and played with a chip on his shoulder next season, leading the team back to the Finals, this time to play <strong>Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, and James Harden </strong>after a shortened season.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-8">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Miami Heat beat the<strong> Oklahoma City Thunder</strong> in five games with LeBron James winning his first-ever NBA Championship and Finals MVP award after three tries and years of struggles.</p>
<p><strong>Erik Spoelstra’s</strong> team made a habit of going the distance, as they went back to the NBA Finals to face the Spurs, a team that put them against the ropes until<strong> Ray Allen</strong> hit a miracle three-pointer in Game 6 to force Game 7 and beat them at home to win back-to-back rings.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-98">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>James promised to win many more rings at South Beach but the Spurs got back at him in the very next season, with <strong>Kawhi Leonard </strong>blossoming as a lockdown defender to win a Finals MVP in 5 games. That’ll be the last time we’d ever see James in Heat threads.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Homecoming: LeBron Makes History At Cleveland</h2>
<p>The Cleveland Cavaliers fell to the bottom of the Eastern Conference without LeBron James so needless to say, they buried the hatched and welcomed back the King with open arms.<strong> This time, they vowed to give him what he needed to win.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-12">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Cavs traded multiple assets to pair LeBron and<strong> Kyrie Irving with Kevin Love</strong> and it surely paid off, as they made it to the Finals on his very first year back home, even though they couldn’t beat the<strong> Golden State Warriors</strong> after suffering major injuries in the playoffs.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-36">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>Cleveland went back to that stage next season and at full strength. The Warriors put them against the wall and were up 3-1 in that series. Then, the Cavs’ Big 3 became the first team in NBA history to ever come back from such a deficit in the Finals, <strong>with LeBron winning his third ring.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-63">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>The next two years were quite tough for the Cavaliers on and off the court. Locker room issues, trades, and countless moves hurt the team’s chemistry, and even though they made it to the Finals the two following seasons, <strong>the Warriors beat them twice and put an end to James’ second stint in Ohio.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-22">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<h2>Cementing His Legacy: LeBron Leads The Lakers Back To The Top</h2>
<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Lakers </strong>signed LeBron James, who was coming off 8 straight trips to the NBA Finals, to try and go back to the biggest stage for the first time since 2010. However, the King suffered the first major injury of his career – in his 16th season – and they couldn’t even make the playoffs.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-34">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<p>Los Angeles traded multiple assets and Draft picks fo<strong>r</strong><strong> Anthony Davis </strong>and the Lakers became the biggest contender in the league right away. Needless to say, LeBron and Davis made an instant click and led the team back to the Finals.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<div id="relatedNews-31">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>LeBron James now made his 10th appearance in the NBA Finals in 17 years, and his 9th in the past decade. That’s just unthinkable in the modern era. And while his haters give him a hard time for his 4-6 record at that stage, <strong>he still led the Lakers to their 17th title by beating the Miami Heat and even won the Finals MVP award, again.</strong><span></span></p>

<h2>Top 3 NBA Teams With The Highest Odds To Land The 1st Overall Pick</h2>
<h3>3. Minnesota Timberwolves: 14%</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Karl-Anthony Towns Minnesota Timberwolves" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Karl-Anthony Towns Minnesota Timberwolves" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200818_BUS_163449_karl-anthony_towns_timberwolves_crop1597767462588.jpg_22069893_634eee94.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>   Minnesota made multiple moves this season. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Minnesota Timberwolves </strong>lost Andrew Wiggins but added D’Angelo Russell and several spare parts this season. They hope a top-3 pick could either land them another young piece in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/NBA-Draft-2020-Everything-you-need-to-know-20200717-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Draft</a> next to Russell, Karl-AnthonyTowns, and Jarrett Culver or try and trade him for a surging star as Devin Booker.</p>
<h3>2. Cleveland Cavaliers: 14%</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Darius Garland Collin Sexton Cavaliers" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Darius Garland Collin Sexton Cavaliers" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200818_BUS_163449_darius_garland_collin_sexton_cavaliers_crop1597767434406.jpg_22069893_6ddc6480.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>   The Cavaliers were the worst team in the Eastern Conference. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Cleveland Cavaliers</strong> are reportedly putting together a trade package to land Ben Simmons in the summer. That most likely means that they plan to send their top pick to the Philadelphia 76ers along with some of their young pieces like Collin Sexton or Darius Garlandunless they land the 1st overall pick.</p>
<h3>1. Golden State Warriors: 14%</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Golden State Warriors 2019-20" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Golden State Warriors 2019-20" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200818_BUS_163449_golden_state_warriors_2019-20_crop1597767405574.jpg_22069893_2458e2a0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>   The Warriors won 15 games in 2019-20.

<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> finished the season with the worst record in the league. They traded D’Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins and added a couple of interesting assets to their roster on Ky Bowman and Eric Paschall. And now that they’ll have Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green back at full strength, they’re likely to try and move their pick to land another All-Star.</p>

<h2>Top 3 Prospects For The 2020 NBA Draft</h2>
<h3>LaMelo Ball, PG, USA</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="LaMelo Ball NBA Draft" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="LaMelo Ball NBA Draft" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200818_BUS_163449_lamelo_ball_draft_crop1597767376073.jpg_22069893_b24497fe.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>   His brother Lonzo plays for the New Orleans Pelicans. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>We’ve been watching a lot of<strong> LaMelo Ball </strong>film since his days at Chino Hills. There’s clearly a lot of talent as a scorer and playmaker but his shot-selection, lack of muscle, and poor defense raise some questions about him as a top prospect. He’s got the size and scoring ability to thrive in the league but some growing pains are expected.</p>
<h3>Obi Toppin, PF, Dayton</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Obi Toppin NBA Draft" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Obi Toppin NBA Draft" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200818_BUS_163449_obi_toppin_draft_crop1597767346851.jpg_22069893_129ed08b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>   Toppin broke out as a sophomore. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Obi Toppin</strong> wasn’t exactly the most sought-after prospect when he entered Dayton University but now continues to climb the ladder in most recent mock drafts. He’s an explosive athlete with an NBA-ready body and has shown glimpses of a versatile, dynamic, modern offensive game. Defense and lack of size may be an issue but he looks like the safest target.</p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="ck-related-news"> <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/07/16/noticia_0004.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-34">   </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h3>Anthony Edwards, SG, Georgia</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Anthony Edwards NBA Draft" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Anthony Edwards NBA Draft" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200818_BUS_163449_anthony_edwards_draft_crop1597767270206.jpg_22069893_1d86ae34.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>   Edwards can also run the point. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Anthony Edwards</strong> may be the most athletic player in this Draft and it’s not even close. He’s drawn comparisons to Dwyane Wade because of his speed, hops, and similar body types. He must improve as a shooter and a defender but has the upside to become a first scoring option right away. There’s no such thing as a can’t miss talent in this class but Edwards surely looks like the most special player.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong> 46-20, 16-7 Playoffs</p>
<p>The <strong>2011-12 Miami Heat</strong> were coming off a heartbreaking defeat in the Finals at the hands of Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks, so they made sure that they got the job done during the upcoming shortened season.</p>
<p>LeBron James had an MVP campaign and it seemed like he finally learned how to coexist with Dwyane Wade. <strong>The Heat’s Big 3</strong> dominated from the jump and then beat the Knicks, Pacers, and Celtics in the East, later taking down the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Finals to give the King <strong>his first NBA Championship.</strong></p>
<h2>9. 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong>57-25, 16-5 Playoffs</p>
<p>The<strong> 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks</strong> are one of the biggest underdogs in sports history. This team had personality, grit, grind, and a huge heart. That’s what led them along the way, as well as the lack of confidence so-called experts had on their ability to upset the best teams in the league.</p>
<p>Dirk and the Mavericks got past the Blazers, then swept Kobe and the Lakers, and then beat the Thunder in the WCF. They finished the job by coming back to <strong>spoil LeBron James’ welcome to the Miami Heat</strong> <strong>and won their first-ever Championship.</strong></p>
<h2>8. 2014-15 Golden State Warriors</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong>67-15, 16-5 Playoffs</p>
<p>The <strong>2014-15 Golden State Warriors </strong>were coming off disappointing performances in the playoffs until Steve Kerr came along and Stephen Curry’s ankles were fully healed. This team took the league by storm and they just never knew what hit them. The Splash Brothers finally introduced themselves to the world.</p>
<p>Draymond Green also slid to the starting lineup and gave this team another playmaker and versatile defender and the rest is history. They beat the Pelicans, Grizzlies, and Rockets in the playoffs and <strong>then spoiled LeBron James’ homecoming by beating him in 6 games in the Finals.</strong></p>
<h2>7. 2017-18 Golden State Warriors</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record: </strong>58-24, 16-5 Playoffs</p>
<p>The <strong>Golden State Warriors entered the 2017-18 season </strong>as the team to beat. They were equally loved and hated around the league and there just wasn’t a way to stop that three-headed monster of Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson. Especially with Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green also locking down in defense.</p>
<p>The Warriors even took some nights off as they were only focused on the playoffs. Their stars were barely needed in 4th quarters throughout the season and it showed later on. They beat the Spurs, Pelicans, and Rockets, and later swept LeBron James in the Finals, <strong>putting an end to his second stint with the Cavaliers.</strong></p>
<h2>6. 2018-19 Toronto Raptors</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong> 58-24, 16-8 Playoffs</p>
<p>The <strong>2018-19 Toronto Raptors </strong>entered the season as a dark horse. They pulled off one of the riskiest moves in NBA history by trading away<strong> DeMar DeRozan</strong> for a one-year rental on<strong> Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard,</strong> who was coming off two injury-riddled seasons and openly admitted his desire to play in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>Needless to say, that move paid off big time. Kawhi proved his doubters wrong and demonstrated that he was the best two-way player on earth, leading them to their first Finals appearance ever. They beat the Magic, Sixers, and Bucks in the playoffs <strong>and then put an end to the Warriors dynasty in the Finals.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong>66-16, 16-7 Playoffs</p>
<p>LeBron James had finally won his first ring but he was nowhere near satisfied. He was determined to take the <strong>2012-13 Miami Heat</strong> back to the ultimate stage and their Big 3 never took their feet off the gas during the regular season, posting the second-best offense in the world.</p>
<p>Miami was just too overpowered with three superstars in their prime. They beat the Bucks, Bulls, and Pacers and a heroic three from Ray Allen helped them overcome a 3-2 hole in the Finals vs. the <a href="https://www.nba.com/spurs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Antonio Spurs.</a><strong> Some claim that shot salvaged LeBron’s legacy forever</strong>, as he would have been 1-3 in the Finals.</p>
<h2>4. 2015-16 Cleveland Cavaliers</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong>57-25, 16-5</p>
<p>The <strong>2015-16 Cleveland Cavaliers </strong>were the team to beat in the Eastern Conference, now that Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were healthy once again. They were fresh off a loss to the Golden State Warriors in the Finals and even though they weren’t favored to beat them this time, they weren’t going down without a fight.</p>
<p>The Cavaliers didn’t sweat in the playoffs by sweepingthe Pistons and Hawks in the first two rounds. They later beat the Raptors and had the tough task to beat the 73-9 Warriors in the Finals. Kyrie and LeBron brought their A-Game and led them to 3 straight wins after falling 3-1 <strong>and beat the most unstoppable team in NBA history.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong>73-9, 15-9 Playoffs</p>
<p><strong>The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors were one win away from becoming the greatest team in basketball history. </strong>They broke the regular-season record of the 1996 Chicago Bulls and looked poised to win back-to-back Championships behind Stephen Curry’s second-straight MVP season. But hey, it doesn’t mean a thing without the ring.</p>
<p>The Warriors just crushed their rivals. They were merciless and had the best offense and the fifth-best defense in the league. They beat the Rockets, Blazers, and Thunder in the West, and were up 3-1 in the Finals vs. the Cavaliers. That was until LeBron James unleashed the Kraken and Cleveland<strong> became the first team to overcome that deficit in NBA Finals history.</strong></p>
<h2>2. 2013-14 San Antonio Spurs</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong>62-20, 16-7 Playoffs</p>
<p><strong>The San Antonio Spurs let their 5th ring slip right through their fingers in the 2012-13 Finals. </strong>They weren’t going to let that happen again next year and played with a chip on their shoulder all season long, dominating their way through the regular season.</p>
<p>The Spurs’ Big 3 was clearly aging but they turned back the clock in the playoffs, beating the Mavericks, Blazers, and Thunder to get a shot at revenge vs. the Miami Heat. Then, Kawhi Leonard introduced himself to the world by guarding LeBron James in the Finals <strong>and</strong> <strong>they put an end to their Big 3 era with a dominating 4-1 series win.</strong></p>
<h2>1. 2016-17 Golden State Warriors</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Record:</strong>67-15, 16-1 Playoffs</p>
<p>All things considered, the<strong> 2016-17 Golden State Warriors</strong> should be the best team of the past decade. They signed Kevin Durant in the offseason and turned their offensive juggernaut into a two-way monster. They had the best offense and second-best defense in the league.</p>
<p>There was just no stopping the Dubs in 2017. They didn’t even sweat in the playoffs as the Cavaliers were the only team to take one game away in the Finals after sweeping the Blazers, Jazz, and Spurs. Durant proved that he wasn’t getting a free ride to the Finals <strong>and won his first-ever championship.</strong></p>
