LeBron James Thinks He Became The GOAT After Winning The 2016 NBA Championship
LeBron James was at his sparkling best vs. the Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. James averaged 29.7 PPG, 11.3 RPG, and 8.9 APG in the finals and won the NBA Finals MVP for his efforts.
James believes he became the greatest basketball player of all time after leading the Cavaliers to the title in 2016.
“That moment I was like I am the greatest basketball player people have ever seen in all the facets. Like I can play 1 to 5, I can guard 1 to 5, just literally like doing something that’s never been done in the history of the sport. Teams that go down 3-1 were like 0 for 32 in finals history. There was nobody every coming out of there and nobody gave us a chance. I just felt like aint nobody better than me at this.”
Even his opponent, Draymond Green, agreed that facing and winning against the greatest team ever assembled made LeBron James the GOAT. Now, whether or not that’s true will always remain up for debate for fans. Many may not see James as their GOAT, but they can never downplay his achievement in 2016.
