LeBron James is a multi-awarded NBA athlete, winning three NBA championships, and many other great awards like NBA's Most Valuable Player and NBA Finals MVP. His NBA career started when he was selected in the 2003 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
In his career, the LeBron James main goal is to catch up with the legacy of Michael Jordan's 32,928 points. Jordans points to James current standing is very far to quest, but for James who scored 1,920 last season, he believes he could achieve this goal.
