2020 Laker said he has never seen a player with the work ethic of LeBron James.

LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers, has been in the spotlight since he was in high school.

What he has accomplished during his basketball career with all of the pressure on his back has been incredible.

[{"selector":"#anim-c0839f2c-c8ff-4b2d-97c1-7270c7bc722b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5c6829ed-bd2a-4755-acb7-343fbe2571f2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 181.32971%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

He hasn't let it bother him, and he accepts any criticism of himself with grace.

His longevity is unprecedented, and as he begins his 21st NBA season, James is still playing at an extraordinarily high level.

[{"selector":"#anim-27062be4-8737-4f76-aa18-d37cc6edeb24","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-67d93168-b5c1-494c-87bb-3ebb953a65f5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 184.60841%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The NBA has never seen a player like James, and many consider him to be the best of all time.

[{"selector":"#anim-cab48603-5e76-4618-bb13-7726253467c7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6eeb6d64-6dbb-4d7d-b67a-a48feb937c6c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 201.28655%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

While that may be debatable for some, James' approach to the game is not.

[{"selector":"#anim-6b4eb3d0-1319-400c-b922-9399b31c1b1f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a53b2d5a-9f0e-40b7-a89d-c29c44467c50","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 205.49708%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

He takes amazing care of his physique so that he can be ready for game day.

old Lakers forward Markieff Morris recently spoke out about James on the All The Smoke Podcast, and he lavished love on his old teammate.

Morris's praise for James is pretty strong, but it testifies to the level of greatness that James possesses.
