James had previous had a 97 overall rating when he was still a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The four-time league MVP is coming off arguably the best campaign of his career that saw him 27.5 points on 54.2 percent shooting from the field along with a career-best 9.1 assists and 8.6 rebounds per contest.

What has been most impressive is that has yet to experience any notable decline in his performance on the court while still playing some of the best basketball of his career through his first 15 years. This has seen him become the only player in the NBA history currently holding career averages of 27.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 7.0 assists.

This rating should either put him at the top of the league or share the highest mark with another player. Nonetheless, this has only furthered excitement around the Lakers for what may lie ahead with James now leading the charge.
