LeBron James weighs in on the peak of his NBA career

James is still playing at a high level, which is remarkable considering his age.

When looking at the peak of LeBron’s NBA career, it’s easy to point to his first stint with the Cavaliers or his stint with the Heat.

James was regarded as the best player in the game and no one could touch him. Especially in Miami, where James and the Heat made it to four straight NBA Finals.

However, James revealed on Mind the Game podcast, that the true peak of his career was in 2018.

“If you ask me what I feel the best season I had was — where I felt the most complete as a basketball player — I would say 2018.”

LeBron James was on a mission in 2018

2018 LeBron James is often referred to as the greatest player of all-time.

James’ 2018 season and playoffs with the Cavaliers saw one of the greatest individual carry-jobs in NBA history.

Despite having a weak supporting cast after Kyrie Irving’s departure, James single-handedly willed his team to the NBA Finals, where they were ultimately swept by the Golden State Warriors’ dynasty.

That season, James played all 82 regular season games for the first time in his career and led the league in minutes played. In the playoffs, he averaged a remarkable 34.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 9.0 assists over 22 games, shooting 53.9 percent shooting from the field.
