The King turns 38 today 👑 ◽️ 18x All-Star ◽️ 4x NBA champ ◽️ 4x MVP ◽️ 4x Finals MVP Over the course of his 20-year career, LeBron has used his size, skills & determination to conquer the burden of expectations, writes joevardon & ByJasonLloyd:
These are the facts at the moment but they are footnotes. LeBron and the Lakers can theoretically turn it around, this season or next. And if they don’t, well, James’ stint with the Lakers has already been more successful than Jordan’s last stretch was in Washington.

Russell retired after 13 seasons at 34. “The Decision,” his hour-long special that announced his decision to leave Cleveland for Miami in 2010, is widely viewed as a public-relations disaster, despite the
LeBron revolutionized NBA contracts by manipulating service-time extensions to maximize his value and potential earnings in free agency. The league set up its system so stars would be enticed to stay on their original teams by the ability to earn the highest salaries from those teams. LeBron proved that system weak by foregoing the ultimate earning power for shorter deals, giving himself flexibility and the ability to apply pressure to the front office to stay competitive.
On the night of his greatest achievement, James sat at the podium exhausted and unburdened, the heavy yoke of expectations and unfulfilled promises replaced by a singular championship net snipped from the rim and dangled from his neck. With his three small children by his side, James was equal parts elated and relieved as he recited the list of past Cleveland sports failures that no longer mattered.
A cursed city on the shores of a lake named Erie that birthed a river called Chagrin, James stared down five decades of failure, defeat and soared above it all.
