LeBron James is advancing to his tenth NBA Finals.
From 2011 to 2020 LeBron missed the NBA Finals only once, in a season when he did not reach the playoffs.
This season he is once again proving how great he is.
Social networks are once again full of tweets claiming that this achievement once again opens the debate over the greatest player of all time, just like in 2016.
So he took a legendary championship, against all odds, after falling behind 3-1 in the league final.
The same tweets, the same thoughts, in 2016, propelled the latest dance - the series that documented the behind-the-scenes Chicago Bulls model 1998, with Michael Jordan's last championship.
Jordan held the copyright to the behind-the-scenes photography and the skepticism in it motivated him to use them, take them out of the safe and remind everyone how great he was.
It will be interesting to see Michael's reaction to LeBron's current achievement.
At the end of Game 4 LeBron reminded us once again how much he is an atomic weapon in everything to do with the basketball game.
Jamal Marie was passionate and no one else was able to stop him.
LeBron took Marie and arrested Denver.
There is no other player in the league who can make the difference like LeBron both defensively and offensively, in front of every player, in front of every guard.
Tonight he made sure Denver's comeback kids were left with just kids.
Each time the Nuggets approached Baron Doug a winning offensive move.
Whether he produced for himself or for others.
And that's the big difference between LeBron and Kwai.
They both built new teams for themselves in the summer, they both made sure their team would pledge its entire future for the present.
But under the leadership of Kwai the Clippers remained a collection of stars.
LeBron made sure the Lakers became a team.
The Lakers gathered around him quite a few players with question marks around their careers, players who in other teams were marked as poison in the locker room.
LeBron gathered them all and united them.
While in the Clippers throughout the season we heard controversy around Kwai and Paul George, no one doubted LeBron or Davis.
Everyone straightened up behind them.
And here's LeBron's great.
LeBron has the abilities of a cleric, he makes the players next to him believe.

He has no problem riding Anthony Davis' wide back.
He has no problem letting Davis score the important baskets.
He has no problem sharing the spotlight.
Quite the opposite.
LeBron wants it and pushes the players next to him to be the best they can be.
In Davis' case, it's a kind of monster.
He still has something to teach Davis - like for example how to close a series.
There were quite a few commentators who were concerned about the Lakers ’ability in the bubble before the playoffs (admit and confess, I was concerned too).
There were those who foresaw a loss to Portland, Houston and also Denver.
LeBron and the Lakers waved all the worries along with the aforementioned teams. 1: 4 unequivocally in all series. There will be those who will say that the fact that he did not meet the Clippers relieved him. Nonsense. The Lakers. The Lakers did their thing and proved that when the money is on the table, they're the best team in the West.
Shaquille O'Neal posted that his Lakers sources tell him they prefer Miami. It doesn't really matter if it's Boston or Miami The Cinderella story, and leave the fantasies in Disney stories, on the other side of the compound. When it comes to sports there is a king, and when he sees the ring on the horizon, he sees no one else. The
finale will be a big story anyway.

Denver should be proud of what it achieved in the playoffs, but should shake off the nickname that stuck with it - the Comeback Kids.
The Nuggets need to take the reins and lead.
They have a young and promising team.
Jukic is only 25 years old and has proven how broad his shoulders are.
He came to the bubble in the best physical shape of his life, having managed to get rid of the excess weight.
We saw him star deep into the fourth quarter in some games.
Now he needs to get rid of unnecessary offenses.
Jamal Marie is only 23 years old, and after in the previous playoff he left some question marks, in this playoff he left only exclamation marks.
A playoff that is all about hacking.
It's hard not to get excited about what Marie did in this playoff, and it's a shame it ended with a weak response, as Marie stumbled on the field.
They have a full staff potential.
Michael Porter Jr. is only 22. His defensive understanding is still not at the required level and that prevented him from significant minutes in the playoffs.
The data by his side (length, athleticism), now he has a whole summer to watch games and learn.
Jeremy Grant is ending a contract and has raised the price in the last three games, but will be worth every dollar.
Millsap is ending a $ 30 million contract and will have to transfer a large portion of the budget to Grant.
There’s also Monte Morris, PJ Dozier and lots of other reasons for optimism.
It will be easy to forget what Denver did in the current playoffs.
That is exactly why Oren Levy and I are writing a book.
For the memories, for the great stories.
Feel free to support and enjoy the great stories of the past season.
