LeBron James drops his humble manner to declare he would be just as dominant even if he didn’t take his talents to the Miami Heat.
Usually, LeBron James is always humble and doesn’t flex too much on everyone, when he obviously could. However, sometimes as the King you just have to remind the people you’d be King in every version of the story. His whole career people have tried to hold him back with comparisons and “what if’s”.
According to ESPN, King James had to alert naysayers that even if he didn’t go to the Heat he’d still be the guy.
“I think I would still be at this level no matter if I would’ve came here or not,” he shared. “Let’s not get it twisted: The four years I was here, it was amazing. I loved everything about it. Loved this franchise, this franchise is top tier, it’s one of the best franchises in the world,” he said. “But as far as my career, my career was going to be my career as far as individually, because I know how much I put into the game and I know how much I strived to be as great as I can be. [But] as far as what I was able to learn here was second to none, that’s for sure.”
LeBron revealed this to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin while discussing his legacy. When this made its way to X, formerly known as Twitter, he doubled down.
“You damn right I would still be!” James wrote. “I’m CHOSEN! Ain’t nothing changing that! Maybe lessbut DOMINANT from start to finish.”
To be fair LeBron is in year 21 looking just as dominate as ever so we won’t disagree with him. However, the detractors will be in his mentions until 2024 with reasons why he isn’t. Luckily we all know it’s just delusion and some people won’t give James his credit no matter what. Just last season LeBron carried a broken Lakers squad to the Western Conference finals.
Until we see otherwise it’s safe to say nothing is stopping him from doing it again.
