LeBron James has an incredible career, and he has gained huge individual success.

King James established himself as one of the best players to play the game, there are times where he doubted his passion for it. LeBron talked about this period. His devotion to the game almost broke. His love was almost gone.

Since becoming an NBA star, LeBron has put together an amazing career that features multiple records and individual awards that put him on top of every list.

King James has his name written in the record books. His career was impressive and he is considered a game-changing talent that the NBA hasn’t seen before. The Lakers superstar has fulfilled and surpassed the major hype that was around him before entering the NBA.

Following his eight-year tenure with the team that drafted him, LeBron decided play alongside Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. The Heat was unstoppable.

The Big 3 had huge success that gave them a chance to make the NBA Finals in all four years together. LeBron, Wade, and Bosh earned NBA titles. However, the king recently revealed that falling short in the 2011 NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks gave him the worst period of his career. He was blamed for the failure, and fans blasted him for the struggles on the court.

Miami was considered favorite that season, but they lost the chance to win the big game. They lost four straight games after winning the first two. Much of the criticism came in LeBron’s direction as he had his own struggles in the fourth quarter. His production was low, and LeBron couldn’t post more than 24 points in any game. He scored just eight points in Game 4 of the series. LeBron scored only 18 total points in all six fourth quarters in the series.

The king was hit with serious backlash. It affected his mental wellbeing. However, this was his best motivation. LeBron was able to refocus and his game is better than ever.
