Lakers News: Magic Johnson Calls LeBron James ‘No. 1 Sports Player In The World’

What LeBron James has done in his 17th NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers is nothing short of amazing.

James took on the role as the team’s point guard, leading the league in assists while they established themselves as a championship favorite, holding the best record in the Western Conference.

As the 2019-20 NBA season wore on, James’ performance seemed to get even better, doing great work on both sides of the floor and inserting himself as a legit Most Valuable Player contender next to Giannis Antetokounmpo. James’ unreal level of play caught the attention of the entire basketball world, including Magic Johnson.
