The 2022 NBA All-Star Game had an incredible moment at halftime when members of the league’s 75th anniversary team were recognized for their respective careers.
The league celebrated its 75th season in recent months, giving publications a chance to find out who the top players in the pool of 75 are.
In ESPN’s latest 75th Anniversary Team Ranking, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James took second place, just behind Michael Jordan:
Long before gamer empowerment became colloquial, James paved the way for his endorsements to become partnerships, his status as a gamer to become a stakeholder, and his public persona to incorporate an element of social activism. While James’ individual achievements will put his career at the forefront of anyone who has ever played the sport, the blueprint he created will give others the opportunity to maximize their experience as a professional athlete. – Dave McMenamin
