Over the course of his two-plus decades in the NBA, Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has achieved many different milestones while setting countless records and thrusting himself into the conversation for the greatest player of all time.
Even though James has put together an impressive resume and is a surefire Hall of Famer, the current face of the Lakers deals with more criticism from the media and basketball fans than perhaps any player in league history.
Although James brings a lot of it on himself with some things that he does, like blatantly flopping and controlling the moves teams make when he’s on the squad, with the latest being the questionable moves the Lakers made to draft his son Bronny James and hire his friend JJ Redick, who has zero coaching experience.
Despite all the antics James might engage in on and off the court, the perennial All-Star doesn’t get in trouble off the court and has produced at a high level on the basketball court for an obscenely long time.
Legendary head coach Mike Krzyzewski recently came to James’ defense by going at the superstar forward’s critics on The Herd with Colin Cowherd via NBA Central.
“For anyone who knocks LeBron in any way, they’re just crazy. We’re not gonna see anybody like him. He’s one of a kind,” Krzyzewski said.

Despite all the criticism James has gotten for several different reasons, the four-time NBA champion is currently working on winning another gold medal as the undisputed leader of Team USA.
On Saturday, James and company will face Puerto Rico before heading into the next season and getting that much closer to winning another medal.
