LeBron James isn’t merely a decorated NBA veteran, he’s the most decorated NBA player in the league today. Highly respected both on and off the court, James has earned the monikers he’s earned as the greatest player in the world and one of the NBA’s most socially conscious athletes.

Think about it.

On the court, he’s the player that holds the crown. The “Number One” headband. Everyone else is fighting for the spot of second best player in the NBA. Teams can either try to stop him as a scorer or a facilitator but both are equally powerful weapons. He’s the best point forward in the league and, no matter if other teams admit it or not, his role with the Miami Heat created the roles the Draymond Green and Giannis Antekuompo play with their teams. The Houston Rockets have a style of play that mimics the style the Cleveland Cavaliers play after James Harden assumed point guard duties.

The Oklahoma City Thunder give Russell Westbrook a few 3-and-D guys to kick out to as he drives up and down the court. It’s at a point where Westbrook learning how to post up would only keep one difference between he and James. James mixes his talent with film study and being a cerebral player. Westbrook is simply ultra-aggressive player. James premeditates. Westbrook commits crimes of passion.

Perhaps that’s why both players won the first award that appears on this list of James’ recent accolades and achievements.
