LeBron James in his era of breaking and setting records has now added another accolade to his resume as he was being ranked among the top 100 Madden NFL 25 players in the world. The King proudly shared his achievement on his Instagram Stories with his millions of followers.

The popular game, Madden NFL 25 was officially released on August 16, just after LeBron James helped Team USA win a gold medal in men’s basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The game has been a constant part of him of late as he had it in close proximity while preparing for the new season.

Furthermore, now that the Lakers’ preseason is complete, it has raised questions about whether he can maintain his ranking once the regular NBA season begins. To his fans, achieving a top-100 ranking in Madden is a significant feat, especially considering the steps he took before getting there.

This season will see him race against ‘Father Time’ while he approaches his 40th birthday in December. He has continually been able to perform at an elite level both on and off the court as he was recently named FIBA MVP at the Olympics and finished the last NBA season with averages of 25.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per game.

Mark Cuban jokingly asks LeBron James to retire

And while King James successfully navigated seminary, Mark Cuban recently joked that he should consider retiring after his 22nd NBA season, not because James’ performance has declined, but because his continued dominance presents a challenge for rival teams like Cuban’s Dallas Mavericks.

Furthermore, in the interview with TMZ Sports, Cuban humorously suggested that James’ high level of play makes it difficult for other teams to compete. The four-time NBA champion has practically defeated father-time as he prepares to compete in his 22nd season.

Last season, he averaged an impressive 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists, where he proved that he remains a top performer in the league. Just as Cuban acknowledged that as long as James continues to play at this level, teams like the Mavericks will face serious challenges when competing against him.

With four NBA championships, four MVPs, and numerous accolades, James has little left to prove, as he said it’s extra credit for him. He will be tasked with leading the Lakers back to the top as the new season begins.
