LeBron James, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, is undeniably one of the greatest players in NBA history. With over two decades in the league, he has become an iconic figure in both pop culture and the world of sports.

In a remarkable testament to his enduring influence, LeBron's impact extends far beyond basketball. This was recently exemplified by a celebration in the NFL, where DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown paid homage to LeBron and Dwyane Wade's iconic pose after a touchdown.

During his time with the Miami Heat, LeBron and Dwyane Wade created a timeless celebration that continues to inspire athletes across different sports, including the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles.

While Dwyane Wade has retired and earned a place in the Hall of Fame, LeBron James remains an active force on the court. He is currently in his sixth year as a Lakers player and embarks on his 21st year in the NBA.

LeBron James has some iconic celebrations

LeBron James has a few iconic celebrations. One of them is 'The Silencer,' where he pushes his hands down three times, palms facing the floor, followed by a double-tap on his chest and a primal scream. This celebration is reserved for those moments when he silences a hostile crowd. Another famous celebration is when he crowns himself, in honor of his 'King' nickname.
