LeBron James is widely viewed as one of the best players who have ever played the game of basketball. He has many accolades to his name, and he has won 4 championships with 3 different teams. He brought championship basketball to Cleveland and most recently brought it back to Los Angeles. There’s no question that LeBron James is a winner.

Coming out of high school, there were a lot of expectations for LeBron James, with many expecting him to be the next big thing, and projecting that he would be an all-time great despite his young age. As of this moment, it’s safe to say that LeBron James has met those expectations.

Reddit user iSleepUpsideDown has recently posted a great video of Charles Barkley talking about LeBron James and how he has “accomplished the greatest thing” he has ever seen in sports. In the video, Barkley lauds LeBron James for living up to the hype that he came into the league with, as well as commending him for managing to stay out of any trouble as well.

I think LeBron James, he has accomplished the greatest thing I’ve probably ever seen in sports. I’ve said the before. For an 18 year old kid to come into the NBA, and he’s the only one that’s been very good at 18. Like as great as Kobe was, he struggled his first few years, Kevin Garnett, all those guys.

What LeBron James has done, to be 18 years old, come into The NBA, live up to the hype, never got into a stitch of trouble, is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen in my life.

There is no doubt that LeBron James accomplished something spectacular. He has become everything that he was projected to be and more. LeBron James is an all-time great, and he still has an opportunity to add more to his winning basketball resume.
