From the housing projects and a single mother to a billionaire. Props to the 🐐 KING JAMES

[villaespesa]

A 4 times Champion, holds almost every record stat wise, , still playing at superstar level at an age when 99.9 % of NBA players show a steep decline, no scandals, no baby mamas, extremely disciplined, now a billionaire. I hope he
plays until he's 50.

LeBron never ceases to inspire me to keep becoming the best that I can be. After all of the “he is the only player to…” achievements, whether it’s the most playoff wins ever, the most playoff points ever, the most playoff buzzer-beaters ever, the most points ever in the regular season & playoffs overall, the only player above 32 to average 30, etcetera: this accomplishment is something unimaginable. I hate the hate that he receives, because he said himself that he just wants to inspire. Much respect & love to King James. That’s a true childhood-dream come true…

Perk turned this segment exactly what it should have been. This dude was the only child of a single teen mother and now he’s a billionaire hooper. They talk about greatest nba players of all time. None of them became billionaires while playing. Gotta give this man his props. He’s inspired so many people to go about it the better way.

Lebron James is the ultimate example of how you maximize your talent. Living in the projects at 12 years old. Millionaire before he turned 19. Billionaire before he turned 40! The American dream!

I respect perk for not getting dragged into this take by first take

[wook]

I'm not the biggest fan of him, but he is greater than great. The unwarranted hate for this man has to stop.

[bossalba]

Perkins best take. Congrats to king James and his family. I’ve always thought of this man to be a great man on the court and mostly off the court. He’s a man’s-man.

[jredhotae]

Congrats to Lebron. Happy for Lebron, ended up being from a low class apartment in a inner city to a billionaire. Love what Perk had to say about Lebron and it is spot on. I hope that Bron can win one more title.

Let's not forget that the biggest payouts in the markets don't come from great performances but rather it's great promotions. Stay invested, diversification for streams of incomes is very important

I like how perk gave a shout out to Savannah 💯 mad respect to her.

[faithlcockrell]

His winning on the court, in businesses, and with his Family. Makes Ohio Proud!!!🎉🎉🎉

[G_Body_Queen]

When he’s retired and sitting back sipping wine somewhere, that’s when people will truly miss him. The path he created for himself, family, friends, and fellow hoopers should not go unnoticed. He has exceeded all expectations, and he has been an outstanding role model.

[MojenasWorld]

That was beautiful, Perk! As a huge fan of basketball and Bron being my favorite; I got goosebumps from that! Can’t believe we’re watching greatness in real time. It’s inspiring for me! 💯

[Rell_]

Bron could have a bad game, bad season, or even get dunked on numerous times.. There’s no longer room to talk trash about the dude after this.. Once you hit that billy club you just win at life..

[moneymoney]

Lebron showing these young guys how to be a true professional on and off the court 👑

[Mitch]

Love seeing Perk always make a point of using his platform to give people their well-deserved flowers. LLKJ

[JohnnySensei]

The man made a billion and they’re trying to find a way to discredit him. Amazing lol

[qbqb]

Shout out to SAVANNAH JAMES fr fr. This is the role model for women to follow

LeBron is also giving back to the community by creating I Promise School and securing Full Scholarships for those who graduate from the School. I watched him since he came into the league, and I watched how he developed his game to compete at the highest level. I used to love his Nike Commercials "The LeBrons" because those commercials were very entertaining. 20 years ago, I never imagined that he would pass Michael Jordan in points scored both in the regular season and the playoffs and would be on the cusp of breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record that stood for nearly 40 years. Next season, he will pass Kareem for most points scored, he will pass Magic Johnson in assists, when it is all said and done, it will be hard not to appreciate him as the greatest player to ever play the game. I don't think he will be fully appreciated until he retires. I have been watching the NBA since the 70s, and have seen nearly all of the greats play in their prime, I always said that Kareem was the best that I have ever seen, but when it is all said in done, there is no doubt that I will say that LeBron is the best that I have ever seen, and he will have the stats to back it up too.
