Wenyen Gabriel reveals the shocking reason why LeBron James is the GOAT

Not only is LeBron James a great player on the court, but everything he does is excellent, as he is talented but also has a high IQ and his human side and strong mentality that separates him from the rest.

It was known that after the Laker's slow start in the season with a 2-10 record, LeBron James was frustrated with the roster. Still, after the trade deadline, James had a noticeable spark back in his game, and Gabriel revealed that the King considered the team a championship contender soon after.

"They brought in a group of people that the energy meshed as well. The skill sets aligned on the court, and the pieces made more sense over there, so that obviously helped us. But off the floor, we came a lot closer as a team. We hung out more; I mean, I had some friends that came in. Like even Vando, I already knew Vando, but like everybody, we're close in age as well, too, and it was something that we're having that continuity off the court and on the court it was…I don't know how it grew as fast as it did. It was kind of a surprise to all of us, but when you start winning games like that, it was like momentum shift, and we kind of rode that wave right there."

"And then we really hit a point where we really believed in how good we could be. Even Bron would tell us in the locker room that we have the makings of a championship-contender team. And he said, I've been on a team, and I've seen it, and we got what it takes, and we kind of believed when he was speaking there. And then us going out there, even when Bron wasn't playing, he was complimenting us, and he was even more so engaged in how we were as a team in that second half. He was excited to come back, he was excited to about what we had working on, and we all had that type of excitement, and we were working toward something, so that feeling right there is what we're looking for." Revealed Wenyen, which proves how LeBron's capacity to inspire the team makes him the NBA's GOAT.
