LeBron James passing Karl Malone warns haters

King James is proud of himself and everything he has accomplished in his career. Unfortunately, people like Skip Bayless don’t even bother respecting this effort. Some would even say that LeBron is not one of the best scorers in the league.

“Just to be part of this league the many years I’ve been a part of it and being linked to some of the greatest who’ve ever played this game and guys I’ve ever watched or studied or read about or aspired to be like … I’m just always lost for words for it. It’s an honor for myself, for my hometown, for my family and friends to be able to live these moments throughout this journey. And that’s exactly who I do it for.”

“Guys that just took care of their bodies for the majority of their career and always wanted to be available to their teammates,” he said, per ESPN. “The most important leadership [trait] for you is to try to be available as much as possible on the floor. I think myself and him, we always just tried to be in uniform and make plays and stay in condition and try to stay healthy, stay injury-free as much as you can and also be productive on the floor. So yeah, absolutely.”

LeBron has a lot to offer and he will hit even more milestones in the next few seasons. The Lakers should do their best to get the best of him before he retires.
