LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has been in the NBA for a very long time.
And he’s been a wildly dominant force in the NBA for every single day.
As we all know, James joined the league back in 2003 when he was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Since then he’s traveled to the Miami Heat (where he won a couple of Finals), back to the Cavaliers (where he won a Finals), and to the Los Angeles Lakers (where he won another Finals).

James has been playing and finding success for so long that he’s not only played alongside Shaquille O’Neal but he’s also now preparing to possibly play with Shaq’s son, Shareef O’Neal.
What a long, wild ride it’s been for James.
And yet despite all the years playing, he is still one of the best guys in the league.
James Still Doing It
James just played his his 19th season in the league and he was still setting records.
He put up 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists a game and actually came very close to being the scoring champion for the season.
Of course, in the end his Lakers couldn’t even make the playoffs, despite James’ incredible season.
It remains to be seen what the new year will look like for LA and there is a chance that he actually never suits up alongside the younger O’Neal.
That is because O’Neal is currently playing with the team in the Summer League, looking to prove he has what it takes for a full signing.
But if the Lakers are going to rebound from their awful season they will need only the best of the best.
So if he doesn’t really run well during the summer, O’Neal might not be a Laker at all.
