When looking at the peak of LeBron’s NBA career, it’s easy to point to his first stint with the Cavaliers or his stint with the Heat.
James was regarded as the best player in the game and no one could touch him. Especially in Miami, where James and the Heat made it to four straight NBA Finals.
However, James revealed on Mind the Game podcast, that the true peak of his career was in 2018.
“If you ask me what I feel the best season I had was — where I felt the most complete as a basketball player — I would say 2018.”

That season, James played all 82 regular season games for the first time in his career and led the league in minutes played. In the playoffs, he averaged a remarkable 34.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 9.0 assists over 22 games, shooting 53.9 percent shooting from the field.
