Lebron James is an American professional basketball player who players for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the national basketball player. If asked to anyone out there people would consider Michael Jordan to be the best basketball player. Lebron James would definitely rank second. No one can actually replace Jordan. Although Lebron James is a good player, but on the other hand Michael Jordan is an all round better offensive player. He can shoot, drive and even create his own shot as compared to Lebron James.
Lebron James guards better and he is also a better distributor. Apart from Michael Jordan as well there are other players who can be considered better than Lebron James like Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar etc.If we look deep into the matches played by Lebron James then we can find that he has just won two championship and two most valuable player titles. But if you take a glance at Jordan's career then he has won around six NBA championships and six most valuable player titles.
James literally has a long way to go before he can be declared as the best basketball player. Although, we cannot just avoid the fact that Lebron James have struggled a lot through NBA championships. But the main fact is that he is very much casual in his playing sense. He does not perform as a typical basketball player is considered to do most of the time. So in order to be considered the best player he needs to be a consistent performer. Going back in history Lebron James has a lot of losing record.
With this scenario we simply cannot give him the title of best basketball player. He should definitely take some guidance from other great players like Michael Jordan and try following that. But on the other hand he has tried a lot to improve his playing skills. He has improved his shot selection and accuracy on jump shots. Earlier when his playing career had just started he was considered a poor defensive player but with time he had simply worked hard on his playing skills. Almost near the end of his first tenure in Cleveland, he became proficient at the chase down block, directly coming in from behind the opposition so as to block their shot. So not the best basketball player, but definitely the best improved player title can be given to him. He has really worked up on his playing skills and now most of the time he is praised for that.
