"The most dominant player I’ve ever played against? It’s clear to me who that is, and he’s still currently in the league."
LeBron did not hesitate to give credit to a peer who continues to define what dominance means in today’s game.
LeBron James’ acknowledgement highlights that even among today’s top athletes, some stand out as uniquely influential during competition, underscoring the continual evolution of basketball excellence.
