We all know that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is one of the best players on the planet. ESPN clearly thinks the same after putting the King's graphic incorrectly on the screen during Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Sunday. Check it out:
This list should only be O'Neal and Giannis, but it's still insane to see. LeBron didn't do it in back-to-back games in 2016. pic.twitter.com/QE4YA4GWQt

As mentioned above, LeBron James never put up 40 points and 10 rebounds in back-to-back finals games. In 2016 with the Cavs, he did drop 41 points and 16 rebounds in Game 5, but put up 41 points and 11 assists, not rebounds, in Game 6. ESPN, you totally botched this one. I suppose the King was just on their mind?

LeBron James may not in the company of Antetokounmpo and O'Neal in this regard, but he has done lots of special things during his illustrious career. While his Lakers did bow out of the playoffs much earlier than expected, LeBron James will be focused on making a run at it next season with him and Anthony Davis at full strength, barring any more setbacks.
As for Giannis, his Bucks are now trailing the Phoenix Suns 2-1 after a big Game 3 win on home court.
