In the vast starry sky of basketball, LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the most dazzling stars. Since entering the NBA as the No. 1 high school student, he has carried the expectations of countless people and became the light of hope for the city of Cleveland to win the championship. However, his journey to winning the championship was not smooth and he was controversial.

James showed amazing talent and strength when he first entered the league, but in the East, the Celtics were like an insurmountable mountain, blocking his progress. In 2007, although James led the Cavaliers out of the East, he was ruthlessly swept by the Spurs in the finals. This defeat made James deeply realize that it was difficult to reach the top with his own strength. So, in the summer of 2010, he made the decision that shocked the league - to join the Miami Heat and form the Big Three with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. In the first season of the Heat Big Three, due to the unknown internal role positioning of the team, they accidentally lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the finals. Wade's generosity and sacrifice became a turning point. He took the initiative to give up the position of the team's boss, allowing James to fully play. Since then, the Heat have won the championship for two consecutive years, and James has also reached his first peak in his career. However, when Wade's condition declined due to a knee injury, James chose to return to the Cavaliers to form the new Big Three with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. In 2016, in a desperate situation where 1-3 fell behind, James led the Cavaliers to reverse the Golden State Warriors to win the championship, creating the greatest back-up miracle in NBA Finals history.

James's winning process has been criticized by many people as "grouping", but behind this is his extreme desire for the championship and his clear understanding of the team's strength. In the highly competitive NBA, if you want to win the championship, strong team support is indispensable. James knows this well. He is good at finding the right teammates and building a winning team. This is exactly where his wisdom is as a team leader.

James' style of play is indeed different compared to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Jordan and Kobe are known for their super-personal singles and their big heart performance at critical moments. Their offense and defense are amazing. Although James has a certain gap with them in his personal singles and defensive ends, he has unique advantages in organizing offense and driving teammates. He pays more attention to teamwork, creates opportunities for his teammates through passing and breakthroughs, and brings the team's overall strength to the extreme.

In addition, James's achievements in scoring cannot be ignored. He surpassed countless legends and became the NBA's all-time scoring champion, an achievement that proves his lasting and efficient offensive end. James's greatness cannot be measured by the number of championships. His influence on the game, his contribution to the team, and his competitive state in his long career have made him an important place in basketball history.

James' basketball path is full of controversy and glory, and every choice he chooses has sparked countless discussions. But it is undeniable that he wrote his own legend in his own way, leaving a brilliant mark in the long river of basketball history.
