Whether you have him near the top of your list or not, he's earned his place in the upper echelon of NBA players. 

From his remarkable court vision, to his runaway train fastbreaks all the way to his chasedown blocks. There isn't much The King cannot do.

As he begins his new chapter with the Los Angeles Lakers, after moving on from Cleveland in the offseason, Magic Johnson spoke of his greatness.

And it wasn't Magic pointing out everything he's done throughout his career, it came from a simple game of pickup basketball.

"There was a play today and everybody knew it was game point, so LeBron got it and we saw him just saying 'I'm about to take Kuz, I'm going to get to my spot and then I'm going to launch this three point right in his face,'" Johnson said. 

"Sure enough he came down, gave a little fake and then Rob says 'why you go for the fake?' and Kuz was like ... he didn't know what to do and LeBron just bulled it, all net.

"But that's the greatness of LeBron."


LeBron called what was coming and he delivered, Kuzma could do nothing about it even though he knew was LeBron was about to do.

As he enters season number 16, the signs of slowing down don't appear to be on the horizon.
