Analysis: LeBron James has done it again, and did it his way

His legacy was complete long before Sunday night, when the Los Angeles Lakers became NBA champions for the 17th time by beating the Miami Heat and winning the title to cap a season like none other, in a bubble like none other.But that legacy is just a bit shinier now.“I guess, as Frank Sinatra would say, I did it my way,” James said earlier in these playoffs.That’s not up for debate.He’s got four titles. He’s actively trying to get more people, particularly Black people, to vote than ever before.“I just hope I make my guys proud and that’s all that mattered to me,” James said. If he’s slowing down, he’s not showing it; he had 32 points in his first playoff game 14 years ago, he exceeded that six times in this postseason run.“He’s shown why he is the player that he is, why he’s had the career and the legacy that he’s continually building,” Miami’s Jimmy Butler said.James is 4,148 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the regular-season scoring lead, meaning he’ll have to play at least two more full seasons to reach that mark.
