Obviously, LeBron already had a place in the history books. But this win now, with this team, really solidifies his claim as the GOAT. And, whether or not you’re ready to buy into that claim, his case now is stronger than it’s ever been.
At the very least, the dude deserves some respect. He won in the West when people doubted he could. He won at 35-years-old, despite many saying he couldn’t. And he won surrounded by enemies around every corner.
He overcame and he came out victorious. He’ll be sleeping well tonight.
