LeBron James is entering his year 21, the NBA stars that have only praised to the Lakers star

LeBron James has been the definition of the NBA's successful story, since he was a prospect the expectation was sky high, and not only did he meet them but surpassed them.

More than twenty years have passed and LeBron James has now become the oldest player in the league and has been able to stay in his prime for that long period.

James has been able to be part of the NBA's GOAT debate between him and Michael Jordan, and now different players in the league have spoken about him.

Damian Lillard recently said on LeBron "But when it’s over, what I think you guys, fans that just have watched, will respect him more later. I was watching him on ESPN back then, so to have that type of hype and to live up to it and then some — to come out as your all-time leading scorer in this league, to win how he’s won, to be as scrutinized as he is and has been. I can just respect how he [handled the pressure.]"
