LeBron James thinks he’s won the two toughest championships in NBA history.
King James earned his fourth ring this past season after winning the 2020 championship with the Lakers in the bubble. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
LeBron thinks his 2020 and 2016 championships are the hardest ever won. During an appearance on the Road Trippin’ Podcast, the Lakers star said, “The one thing that I know for sure that I’ve been a part of two teams that have won the two hardest championships in NBA league history. The 2016 Cavs coming back from 3-1…and then what we went through in the bubble.”

Whether you hate or love LeBron James, you have to admit that he seems to have a point about the difficulty of his 2016 and 2020 rings.
The Cavaliers were down 3-1 to Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors. That series was more or less over.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the Cavaliers stormed back in borderline impossible fashion to win a ring.
This past season, the NBA put all the playoff contenders in a bubble in Orlando away from all their family and friends during the coronavirus pandemic.
It was an unprecedented move for the NBA. Yet, the Lakers and LeBron were able to fight their way to a ring.
It was an incredibly difficult path and an impressive accomplishment.
Even though I’m not a huge LeBron James fan, I have to admit that I see the point he’s making. Let us know if you agree in the comments.
