During his media session with reporters on Thursday, Los Angeles Lakers superstar small forward LeBron James admitted he's at a loss for words after earning All-NBA honors for a record 16th time.
James is the only player in NBA history to make All-NBA 16 times, with 13 of those selections being to the All-NBA First Team. He passed 15-time All-NBA Team selections Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan on Wednesday.
“I'm at a loss for words,” LeBron James said, via Mark Medina of USA TODAY Sports.
“I've been fortunate enough to take care of my body and push my body to the limits.”
During the 2019-20 regular season, James averaged 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game for the Lakers. The King also shot 49.3 percent from the field, 34.8 percent from beyond the arc and 69.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Behind James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers finished the regular season with the best record in the rugged Western Conference standings. Los Angeles is eight wins away from winning the 2020 title at Walt Disney World.
The Lakers, though, have to first get past the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals to reach the NBA Finals.
Since the Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks both got bounced in the second round of the playoffs, many believe James and the Lakers will win the championship easily now. We'll see if James can win title No. 4 at Disney World and deliver championship No. 17 for Los Angeles.
Editor's Note: This story originally stated that LeBron James has made the All-NBA First Team a record 16 times. It has been corrected to note that he has made All-NBA a record 16 times and the First Team 13 times.
