LeBron Reveals When He Believes He Was At His Basketball Peak

LeBron James will end his career as one of the three greatest basketball players of all time. No matter how much you may dislike him, it is hard not to put his accomplishments next to Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. However, while his greatness isn’t in doubt, it is interesting to debate when he was at HIS greatest. 

A lot of people might name the 2016 NBA Finals the peak moment of LeBron's career when he and the Cleveland Cavaliers upset the 73–9 Golden State Warriors. LeBron wouldn't necessarily agree with that assessment. 

LeBron recently revealed when he believes he played his best basketball. 

"If you ask me what I feel like was my best season that I had, that I felt the most complete as a basketball player, I would say 2018, the 2017–18 season. I felt like I could do no wrong out there on the basketball floor offensively, defensively... I felt no flaws in my game. I felt like every time I stepped out on the floor, I really could do everything I wanted to do. All three levels, defensively, guard all three levels. I still feel that way, but it was just another level of that in 2017–18, with the team that we had. That season right there, I felt like that was probably my most complete. I played all 82 games, I believe, that year. And then if you include the playoffs, I played over a hundred games. I didn't miss one game that season."

While this won’t put the debates to an end, it certainly gives us a good perspective on when LeBron perceived himself at his peak. Like many other seasons of LeBron’s, the 2017–18 season was magnificent and dominant. But was it really his best? The debate rages on.
