If there is one person who has single-handedly carried multiple teams to victory, it’s LeBron James. Bron has taken multiple teams with considerably less talent to deep playoff runs, sometimes even the Finals. Although there have been few players in history who have done what LeBron has done, there is no one who has done it for 2 decades.

And LeBron is seemingly doing it again with the Lakers. He is averaging nearly 29 points on over 51% shooting and he is the lone bright spot for the Lakers. Even though he has missed a few games, he has shown up for the Lakers. They might be a lottery team without LeBron James. Hence, the Lakers who were one of the favorites to win the title, are now struggling to even make the playoffs.

Amid this, a random GM has expressed how LeBron James LeBron is still good, but he just can’t carry a franchise anymore.

There is no one like LeBron

He has done in the past as well. In his fourth year, he took a Cavs team without another all-star to the Finals. They beat the heavily favored Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals and LeBron put his team on his back, especially in game 5, where Bron scored 48 points alone. Then again, in 2018, he took another Cavs team to the Finals. In playoffs, they edged past the Boston Celtics before falling to the Golden State Warriors in the finals.

Other players may be able to say they have done what LeBron has done for a couple of years, but no one can say that they have been doing it for two decades. Stephen Curry did it last year, but it took a toll on him. Kevin Durant did that in the Playoffs last year, but he was exhausted at the end of it. LeBron has been doing it night in and night out, for nearly 20 years now and the King doesn’t look like he is gonna stop any time soon.
