NBA legend Kevin Garnett has never been shy about recognizing the greatness of LeBron James. But in an appearance on “the Stephen A. Smith Show” this week, the former NBA big man gave his greatest review yet of the 4x champion and explained how his success story stretches well beyond the confines of the court.
“He’s my GOAT of all of this. The business, the everything. He’s the vision of what every black man should aspire for, has been a billionaire, having your own labels, like he’s set the tone. I played against bro, it ain’t personal anymore. I’m watching as a fan and I’m giving him flowers and I’m looking at it from a different perspective of things that I’ve never seen in the game. We ain’t never seen a 39-year-old like this…”

For a guy like Kevin Garnett who has lost to LeBron James on several occasions, and once considered him his greatest rival, it can’t be easy to recognize LeBron as the GOAT. But at this point, considering all that James has done over two decades, and what he’s still doing on the court right now, his claim as the best is getting hard to dispute.
LeBron Is A Winner In All Walks Of Life
We all know what LeBron has done during his basketball career. But for James and his family, success has not been limited to the world of sports. In fact, LeBron has really taken his reach to another level since moving to Los Angeles to join the Lakers in 2018. Besides making millions in endorsement deals and other exclusive partnerships, James has built up his fortune with several business investments including Blaze Pizza, the Fenway Sports Group, and SpringHill Entertainment.
In 2021, LeBron made his first big-screen appearance playing as himself in “Space Jam: A New Legacy.” Of course, LeBron has also made waves in the political sphere as well. In light of various social justice movements and humanitarian crises around the globe, James has spoken up about these issues and has become a prominent cultural figure.
LeBron Is Making History On The Court
Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of LeBron’s professional career is his amazing longevity. For as much success as James has been having off the court, he’s still one of the best in the world at the game and it’s impressive to behold. This season, in year 21, James is averaging 25.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game on 57.8% shooting.
So with LeBron putting up great numbers on some of the best efficiency of his entire career, it’s yet another season that he’s one of the best players in the world and his resume is unmatched in the NBA. As a 4x champion, 4x MVP, and 19x All-Star, only the very best in basketball history can hold up to his career and he’s still actively adding even more accolades to his already stacked trophy case. After so long at the top of the pyramid, not even Kevin Garnett can deny LeBron’s argument as the GOAT and it says a lot about just how far he’s come since his early days in the league.
