Lebron James | Train Like

LeBron James, long the most dominant basketball player in the world, is facing a new challenge to his reign as King of the NBA. For the first time in years, he looks like he could be... mortal. James made waves when he left his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers for the second time in his career ahead of last season and moved to L.A. to play for the Lakers. His first season in the Western Conference wasn't quite at the level that everyone expected—for the first time in eight seasons, a LeBron-led team didn't make the NBA Finals (let alone the playoffs). While James still posted gaudy stats when he played, injuries limited him to only 55 games, his lowest total over a storied 16-year career. But this is LeBron. The Chosen One. King James. The player most have held up as the best of his generation, if not of all time. While others might be written off as hitting a downslide, most basketball experts still consider James to be at the top of his powers, with 2018-19 as an aberration.
