In a follow-up tweet, he compared James to a Tesla…
Bill Russell is a legend, let’s get that out, but just like Cadillac’s ran the game before, it’s levels to evolution. LeBron is a Tesla. No gasoline, everything touch screen — it’s like a spaceship. Put a Tesla next to a Caddy and it won’t be close! Carry on… https://t.co/DPQRWCavfE

LeBron’s streak of 1,000 games scoring 10 or more points is only one of the many records he holds. He’s also a 16x All-Star, 4x NBA Champion, 4x MVP, and the NBA’s third All-Time leading scorer.
Put that alongside any player, and it’s clear that James has built up quite a resume for himself.
Perhaps the bigger question is, what more can he add to it? Coming off his fourth Championship, James is looking to go back-to-back at 36 years old. We will see soon enough how he closes off the final chapter of his career.
