LeBron says 2017-18 was his peak as a player.

[FultzNationRISE]

Honestly LeGOAT kinda has a Forever Peak.

It was probably he mental peak, which is why he is saying that year.

There is an argument that he was even better in 2017, but he still had Kyrie with him. Getting back to the 2018 finals with no Kyrie was tougher mentally.

[Hey Yo]

Considering the mileage on his resume' ... it's insane that an argument can be made that he was still in his prime during his 15th season.

It's not a coincidence that his incredibly streaky mid-range shot was falling during his arguably two best playoff runs (2009, 2018). That in-between game was always questionable and was what limited his shot creation & shot making against certain high-level defenses and specific individual matchups, schemes, and coverages.

It also took Jordan 13 seasons to win 6 rings. In 23 years, LeBron has just 4.

He needed a rest and quit the league. His first 3 are legit but the next 3 have a big asterisk *
