Life without sports wouldn’t be what we know as everyday living. What I mean by this is that, it felt more like a panic than a pandemic when there weren’t any sports. I’ve been a sports fan since birth. This means for 21 years I’ve loved to watch a basket getting scored, a ball getting kicked in the goal, touchdowns and more.
When I was a little kid, I quickly became a Lebron James fan. I’ve been a Lebron James fan ever since. In my opinion he is the GOAT, meaning “Greatest Of All Time”. However you aren’t reading this for my opinion so I will break down the stats. Lebron James is in his 17th year in the (NBA) National Basketball Association. He now has 3 championship rings and is chasing another one in Los Angeles. James has 4 MVPs and he is always in the race even if he isn’t always the winner.
All basketball fans know that playoff Lebron James is a different animal. He has gone to 8 consecutive NBA Finals. In the playoffs, James is number one in total points, total steals, field goals made, and total wins. He also has 3 Finals MVPs. I believe that now since James is on the Lakers, they will win the NBA Finals. A lot of people in the past would always say, “Lebron James couldn’t play in the western conference”. However, knowing what we all know now, that statement wasn’t true. In his second year with the Los Angeles Lakers, James led his team to be the number one team in the West, based on regular season record. With one more win, his team will be in the western conference finals. After that series, he will be four wins away from his fourth championship. The question shouldn’t be who is going to win the NBA Finals but who is going to stop Lebron James and the Lakers?
