Overview

Showcasing one of professional basketball's best players, this book spotlights the life and career of hardcourt superstar LeBron James. More than just a biography, it relates James' story while also establishing his prominent place in NBA history. By examining his skills and statistics in a variety of categories and comparing him to other NBA legends—including Magic Johnson, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, and more—the guide makes a strong case for James as basketball's greatest. Along the way, his best and most memorable moments are revisited, from his days as a high school stand-out in Akron, to his first stint with the Cavaliers, to "The Decision" to join the Miami Heat, and the show-stopping performance in the 2016 Finals to bring an NBA title back to Cleveland. LeBron James vs. The NBA is certain to stir up lively debate and is a must-have for Cavs fans and basketball buffs alike.

In American society, athletes often transcend their sport to become iconic pieces of our shared culture. Their names, faces and accomplishments define not just their careers, but the cities they play in and the fans who support them. These players strive to be the greatest of all time, and each generation hoists its hero to the rarified air of legendary talents. LeBron James is our generation’s best. But is he the best ever? 

 

In LeBron James vs. The NBA: The Case for Basketball’s Greatest Player (Triumph Books, Nov. 15, 2017), Cavaliers writer Brendan Bowers presents a thorough, honest look at how LeBron James stacks up against the NBA’s all-time greats. By examining the numbers, the moments and the impact LeBron has had on his teams and the league, Bowers puts James where he belongs: on top. Highlights include:

 

  • A heartfelt foreword from former SLAM Magazine Editor-in-Chief Ryan Jones
  • Legacy Points: What they are, how they’re earned, and how LeBron’s compare to the best in league history
  • Player-by-player breakdowns of LeBron’s case against yesterday’s stars, including Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan
  • How James has evolved throughout his career, both on and off the court, and what it means for his legacy

 

LeBron James vs. The NBA is more than a statistical analysis of basketball greats. Bowers incorporates the numbers into a comprehensive analysis of intangible, unquantifiable qualities that define players’ legacies. In doing so, this great new title proves LeBron’s place as the greatest of all time. No basketball fan’s library is complete without it.
