LeBron James has been dominating the NBA ever since he entered the league back in 2003. Coming out high school, there were a lot expectations thrust upon LeBron and so far, he has lived up every single one. LeBron is now 35 years old and is in his 17th season. Despite this, he has yet to slow down from a production standpoint. His Los Angeles Lakers have the best record in the Western Conference and he has a solid chance winning the NBA title. 

As his career winds down, the NBA will look for other young players to become the face the NBA. LeBron is well-aware this and has started mentoring some young players. Recently. LeBron spoke out about the future the league and name-dropped young phenoms like Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant, Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic, and Trae Young.

All five these players have been impressive this season. Zion and Ja are some the best rookies we have seen in a long time all while Tatum, Doncic, and Young continue to dominate out on the court. These fensive juggernauts are the future the league and as LeBron says, the NBA is in great hands moving forward.

We can only imagine how these players feel knowing LeBron is backing them.
