Being one of the Greatest Basketball Players of All Time and dominating the league for 20-plus years, LeBron James’ impact on the sports world can be replicated by very few athletes. Even in the world of sneakers, LeBron is one of the best to ever do it. His sneaker line with Nike was launched in 2003 and has only grown in popularity since then. LeBron’s basketball shoes are in its 20th edition, with LeBron 21 set to release later this year.

LeBron has dominated the NBA since he arrived in 2003. Entering his 21st season, the 4-time Champion is still playing at an elite level and putting up monster numbers. He averaged almost 29 points and 7 assists in his 20th season, taking the Los Angeles Lakers to the Western Conference Finals. There is no denying that when it’s all said and done, the 19-time All-star will go down as one of the GOATs of the NBA.
A’ja Wilson could have the same impact in the WNBA that LeBron has in the men’s league. Having played only 6 years in the WNBA, A’ja is already a 5-time All-Star, a WNBA champion, a 2-time MVP, and a former Defensive Player of the Year. At just 27 years old, A’ja has a chance to build a historic career that would complement one of the Lakers Superstar.
