LeBron James accomplished his goal of returning the Los Angeles Lakers to the top of the NBA mountain, winning the 2020 championship while also capturing his fourth Finals MVP Award. The Lakers had been looking for their next star since Kobe Bryant retired and his untimely death early in 2020 was an inspiring force for the team throughout the year.
Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka worked closely with James this season and of course was previously the agent and best friend of Bryant. As such, there are very few people who are qualified enough to properly compare the two, especially on a mental level.
