LeBron James, a great forward for the Philadelphia 76ers, received high accolades from head coach Doc Rivers before to Sunday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
James, according to Rivers, has differentiated himself over Michael Jordan and is on track to have the « best career of all time, » as he told reporters:
Doc Rivers on LeBron James: “I think he’s going to have the greatest career of all time. I think he’s already had it. And that’s not … I think Michael [Jordan] is the greatest of all time, but that doesn’t take anything away from LeBron. LeBron’s had the greatest career”

Despite James having the best career, Rivers gave a disclaimer that he believes Jordan to be the « greatest of all time » in the ongoing GOAT argument.
In his 20th NBA season, the 38-year-old has not slowed down; as of Sunday, he was averaging 29.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game. He is also getting close to breaking Kareem Abdul-NBA Jabbar’s scoring record of 38,387 with 37,989 career points.
On Sunday, the Lakers will try to snap a two-game losing streak, while the Sixers will aim for their fourth victory in their previous five games.
