LeBron James is entering his 21st NBA season, and while no one quite knows what to expect from him beyond the immediate future, his legacy is very much intact.
He has won four world championships and four regular season MVPs. He tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most All-Star game selections last season with 19. Of course, he also surpassed the legendary Los Angeles Lakers center in a more important category last season: most career points in league history.
Where James belongs on the list of the greatest to ever play basketball is up for debate. A growing number of people believe he’s the greatest ever, and that includes Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has assembled a very impressive resume himself at age 28.

“Some guys might say he is No. 2, but other guys like me, I say he is No. 1, and he’s still going,”

Antetokounmpo has been joined by a fellow future Hall of Famer, guard Damian Lillard, and it has made his Milwaukee Bucks the favorites in the minds of many to win the world championship this season. Perhaps fans will get to see Antetokounmpo and James battle head-to-head in the NBA Finals this summer.
