Ice Cube is rocking with other Los Angeles Lakers for his 3v3 squad. No space for LeBron James
In the debate over the greatest basketball player of all time, two names consistently dominate the conversation: Michael Jordan and LeBron James. While Michael Jordan remains the favorite for many, LeBron James’ impressive achievements, versatile playstyle, and remarkable longevity have ensured his place in this ongoing discussion, despite Jordan’s edge in championship rings.
Kobe Bryant often ranks third on fans’ lists, yet beyond these three legends, few other players are frequently mentioned. Preferences in playstyle are subjective, and some may favor Kobe’s game over LeBron’s. However, it is widely acknowledged that LeBron has surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers icon in the eyes of many.
Ice Cube picks his 3v3 Dream Team without LeBron James
However, legendary rapper and devoted Lakers fan Ice Cube holds a different perspective. When asked to choose his dream three-player team, the founder of Big3 notably left out LeBron James.
Ice Cube’s selections are tough to dispute. While LeBron might have made the list if it were purely about the top three players overall, Shaquille O’Neal’s inclusion makes perfect sense. Shaq’s synergy with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant would create a formidable trio in any 3v3 match.
For LeBron James to earn the unwavering respect of long-time Lakers fans, he may need to accomplish more in Los Angeles. Since joining the team in 2019, LeBron has led the Lakers to just one NBA Finals appearance.
