LeBron James is easily one of the most recognizable names in the history of sports. This future hall of famer has changed the way of basketball right before our very eyes. No single athlete worldwide has ever left a bigger mark on their sport than LeBron James has left on the game of basketball, and the scary part is that “The King” is nowhere near being done yet. Much like a fine wine, LeBron James is proving all odds wrong and somehow improving his game even after all these these years. No athlete worldwide has ever been as dominate as LeBron James has in the game of basketball for as long as James has. LeBron James’s supremacy is undisputable and his stats, athleticism, durability, and accomplishments will prove it. The mixture of athleticism,

LeBron James is not your average athlete, not by a long shot. The big man’s athleticism is a key factor that helps him pull off stunts nobody thought was possible. No human being worldwide obtains a higher ratio of strength, speed, and agility than the “Chosen One” does. In the 2016 NBA Finals, LeBron James chased down Andre Iguodala to block his shot to set up the game winner. During that pursuit LeBron ran sixty feet in two point six seven seconds. That time is faster that All Pro NFL running back Jamaal Charles who ran a two point eight even though LeBron outweighs Charles by over fifty pounds. During that pursuit James clocked in an impressive twenty point four miles per hour. That’s on par with NBA speedster Chris Paul. Keep in mind LeBron James is six foot eight inches and weighs two hundred and sixty three pounds. The “Akron Hammer” is also packed with muscle.

The King is easily one of the most decorated athletes of all times. Here are just a few of his many many accomplishments. LeBron is a three time NBA Champion, three time Finals MVP, four time NBA MVP, NBA Rookie of the year, NBA scoring Champion, thirteen time NBA ALL-STAR, 2 time NBA ALL-STAR MVP, three time NBA minutes leader, thirteen time All-NBA team, six time NBA All Defense team, thirty six time NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month, and fifty nine time NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Can not forget about his three olympic medals, his FIBA World Cup medal, his FIBA AmeriCup medal, and his USA Male Athlete of the Year award. That’s just his professional awards. That does not include James’s long list of awards he earned in high school. LeBron did not win any awards in college because he did not go to college. After high school, nineteen year old LeBron James was drafted first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers because at that age he was already better than majority of the players in the NBA. It has been said time and time again in this paper, all these awards and LeBron James still is nowhere near close to being
