Charles Barkley Makes an Eye Opening Tribute to LeBron James’ Legacy

LeBron James has had the greatest impact on the game, both on and off the court, ever since his entry into the NBA. He entered the game as a kid from Ohio. However, he soon showed the potential of being the greatest player ever. Recently, Charles Barkley talked about LeBron’s Greatest of All Time status in NBA on TNT.

Charles makes a huge tribute to LeBron James about leading a straight life. Chuck has been in the league for a long time, therefore, he has seen the revolution take place. With rich athletes having the reputation of being ‘bad boys’, there is a stereotypical assumption of all the bad that comes with fame and money.

However, Chuck believes that ‘The King’ is unique in this regard. “I think he has had the most incredible career under that intense pressure. Coming into the NBA at 18, he has never been arrested. Never embarrassed himself or his family.” Charles believes that LeBron has not only been the greatest on the court but off the court too, he has proved himself to be an all-around wholesome athlete.

Chuck also makes a statement regarding how easy it is to embarrass oneself in today’s society. “Everyone is trying to get you,” says Chuck. “He has never come close to getting in trouble. I think in today’s society that is amazing.”

LeBron has a lot of haters, people try to get at him all the time. However, there is not a single stain on his reputation.

LeBron James’ current season

The Los Angeles Lakers have fallen behind this season. However, that does not mean that The King is having a bad time out there. Even after suffering injuries, and being one of the oldest players in the league, LeBron has put up exceptional scoring performances. He is currently in the process of defying father time and proving that age is not a factor. It’s all about mentality.

LeBron is currently scoring 29.1 point per game. This is one of the highest averages in the league. Therefore, if LeBron keeps up this level of play, he will be in consideration for the scoring title this season. He has already won this honor once in 2008.

Additionally, he is also averaging 7.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists. This stat sheet is a true testament to his all-around playstyle. He uses his experience and basketball IQ to make his team win.
