Let’s come at this from a different angle: Would you agree that LeBron James is the most valuable person in the league?
James sits on a perch of popularity and influence that almost none ever have in the game’s history, certainly not in this modern age of globalization.
The top vote-getter in All-Star voting again this season, James carries this incalculable value because people love watching him play basketball. But it’s also because of the level of leadership and integrity he brings to the NBA—and how his all-around ability has established a commitment to excellence that is inspiring and revered.
