LeBron James has had plenty of memorable moments throughout his NBA career. Many of them have come during his time with the LA Lakers.
James has cemented himself as one of the best players in league history. He's become a dominant force who can take over a game at any moment. One of the most gifted scorers, LeBron has always been the go-to option when offense is needed. Especially when the stakes are at their highest.
James has incredible highlights that are still talked about to this day. The superstar forward recently sat down with ESPN's Dave McMenamin to talk about his pursuit of the NBA's all-time scoring record.
Throughout the interview, James was asked about some of the favorite moments of his career. He acknowledged some of his highlights with the Miami Heat. This included the infamous Dwyane Wade alley-oop and his "silencer" moment against the Golden State Warriors.
McMenamin also asked James about the moments that have stood out during his time with the Lakers. James pointed to his game-winner against the LA Clippers in the NBA bubble. He also mentioned his performance against the Denver Nuggets in the 2020 Western Conference Finals.
"Hitting the game winner against the Clippers, that was big time. Also, hitting those big time shots against Denver in the Western Conference Finals. To be able to seal that series, in that fourth quarter. That was a very memorable moment for myself."
