What It Means For LeBron James

LeBron James has a resume that even the most biased of NBA fans can appreciate. He’s a four-time league MVP, a two-time NBA champion, and a two-time Finals MVP with a scoring title and 10 All-NBA First Team selections.

Based on resume alone, James is easily one of the 10 greatest players to ever grace the NBA—and yet, there’s a significant blemish on his resume.

James won both of his titles and Finals MVP awards with the Miami Heat—the team he infamously left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join. Thus, while the accolades remain, there’s a hole left in the hearts of many.

James has done everything there is to do in the NBA—except win the team that drafted him a championship.

If James were to win a title for Cleveland, it’d solidify his Top 10 all-time ranking and push him past a number of players ahead of him. He’d solidify his place as Cleveland’s prodigal son by doing something that no one has ever done before—as explained on the next slide.

In doing so, James would silence and eradicate every criticism he’s faced to date.
