Lakers News: Frank Vogel Calls LeBron James ‘Greatest Player’ Of ‘Basketball Universe’

LeBron James, in his 17th NBA season, led the Los Angeles Lakers to their 17th championship in franchise history.

It was also James’ fourth ring and fourth Finals MVP, becoming the only player in NBA history to win the individual award with three separate teams. Lakers head coach Frank Vogel has been more than complementary of James all season, and it didn’t stop after L.A. clinched the title.

Vogel has spent a majority of the 2019-20 season vouching for his two superstars — James and Anthony Davis — to win the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively.
