Frank Vogel praises ‘remarkable’ LeBron James as ‘the most unique player in the history of the NBA’

During his time with the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James has started at every position sans shooting guard at some point during the regular season or playoffs. Traditionally a small forward, James spent time as the de facto point guard the season the team won the title, started at power forward in the team’s decisive Game 6 win over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals in 2020 (among other times) and, this season, has started at center.

That versatility not just during James’ time with the Lakers but across his whole career is part of what makes him arguably the greatest player of all-time.
