As long as LeBron James is in the NBA, he's always going to be the topic of conversation.
ESPN did a bit of reminiscing on Tuesday, ranking his top moments during his time with the Miami Heat. From plays that shifted Finals to poster dunks, the NBA on ESPN crew gave their picks for James' most fascinating plays.
There were a few shockers that didn't grace the list, like his famous alley-oop from Dwyane Wade or his dunk over then-Celtics guard Jason Terry. But with an NBA legend like James with the Heat, it's hard to pick a select few. He had so many moments during his time in Miami, as many pin it as the peak of his legendary career. He won two titles on four straight Finals appearances with the Heat, winning two MVPs and nearly earning a Defensive Player of the Year award in 2013.
Above all, many believe James underwent a mentality switch, playing alongside superstars like Wade and Chris Bosh to become a fiercer player and better leader. He never played with such talent as a Cleveland Cavalier, so the Heat were able to elevate him as a league-wide problem and give him his first taste of championship success. Even with his success in Cleveland and Los Angeles, James' dominance for four straight seasons holds his Miami tenure as the best of his 23 years in the league.
His retirement has been teased in the past, but it may officially be the end for James after this year. Even though he is playing at the top of his game, eventually he will have to walk away. James is in his 23rd season, with nothing more left to really achieve besides potentially winning another ring alongside Luka Doncic.
