Another Trophy 🏆 for the King 👑

LeBron James scored more points in his rookie season (2003-04) than Ime Udoka had total in his ENTIRE NBA career - 7 seasons. 😬

LeBron (2003-04): 1654 points

Udoka (2003-11): 1635 points

Bron owned Udoka as a player and as a coach🤦‍♂️

Bro did Draymond think this was a WWE match, bro just wanted an excuse to finally put his hands on Gobert 🤡😭🤣

Since blocks were tracked in 1973-74, only 3 teenagers have recorded 35+ PTS, 10+ REB, and 2+ BLK in a game.

LeBron James (38/10/3 - 2004)
Kevin Durant (42/13/2 - 2008)

That’s crazy 🤯

💬 Allen Iverson when asked to choose between MJ and LeBron:
"I hate it because I love both of them so much and both of them did so much for our game. LeBron, I think, to me is the Best Overall Basketball Player that we’ll ever see. If you look in the dictionary and look up basketball player, there’ll be a picture of LeBron.
But for me it’s so different because Mike was everything to me. He gave me the vision. He made me want to play basketball. He’s my everything. I wanted to actually be like him, like the commercial, 'Be like Mike'. I really wanted to be him. I’m still starstruck every time I see him. I’m still nervous every time. Because he’s Mike to me. He’s my guy. So there’ll never be no one at the top of my list besides Mike. But LeBron is just everything that you want in a basketball player. He’s a total package. He’s God’s gift to the basketball world."

Phil Jackson on Lebron James🚨

Phil Jackson was asked:

Would Lebron James dominate the league in the 80s, 90s?

"No! I don't think so, in the 80's and 90's ERA they defended themselves more, it was a very different game, a physical game, a long and very rough game."

"This ERA is more about shooters than defenders, I don't envision him being defended by an Isiah Thomas or a Dennis Rodmam wanting to take the ball."

"He is a great athlete with a good physique, but he would not dominate that ERA, he would be a very talented player. At the time there were many guys with his physique, Karl Malone, Davis Robinson, that was out of Lebron's reach."
