In the last 17 years, LeBron James has established himself as the face of the NBA. During this timespan, LeBron has accomplished everything a player can dream of, in the league.
He has been to the NBA finals 10 times and has been on both the winning and losing sides. But that doesn’t take away what he has achieved so far in his career. Even in his 17th year as a pro, LBJ is competing for the NBA championship and is just 3 wins away from bagging it for the fourth time.

“Best teacher in life is experience and I’ve played against great coaches throughout my career. Not only in regular season but in the postseason throughout first, second, third, finals round, I have played against some exceptional coaches and hall of fame players.
“… They have all helped me to get to this point where I am today. To a point where I have no weakness offensively or defensively… There’s nothing on the floor that I cannot do at this point in my career. That’s all because of the competition and the adversity and the losses and everything I have been through throughout the course of my career.
“… Just all like I said, the best teacher in life is experience and I’ve experienced it all.”
As King James mentioned, he has been through several ups and down in his fabulous career. However, without losing, one can never understand the true weakness in their game. LBJ has used this approach in his career and now is just a few days away from being an NBA champion once again.
