   ​LeBron James has done just about everything a player could do in his 23 years in the league. The No. 1 pick of the 2003 draft has been brilliant throughout his time in the league with career averages of 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.4 assists and he’s never averaged less than 20.9 points in any season of his career–his rookie year and his 23rd year.As James now joins the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency, there are many who question his legacy due to the way he won his four championships. It’s mainly social media chatter, but there have been the talking heads in the national media who always have something to say about his career.James’ agent with Klutch Sports, Rich Paul, made a statement on the legacy of James when asked what would happen if he weren’t to win a title with the Sixers:It would mean absolutely nothing for his legacy, he’s already in the Hall of Fame.

He is the game’s all-time leading scorer, he’s won four championships, he led the greatest finals comeback ever when the Cleveland Cavaliers won the title in 2016, and is arguably the best player to ever play the game. There is nothing anybody can say that would destroy his legacy or tear down what is already a legendary career. If he were to win a championship in Philadelphia, it would just be icing on the cake at that point.This article originally appeared on Sixers Wire: Rich Paul makes a statement on Sixers star LeBron James’ legacy
