LeBron ‘definitely the greatest’ all-around player – Zamalek’s Ike Diogu

 

Nigeria captain Ike Diogu has had the experience of sharing the court with the likes of legendary players like Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and LeBron James. Diogu, who played in the NBA for almost 10 years, rated LeBron James as the greatest all-rounder player of all time.

James has been a complete player in all the departments of the game. King James is known to run the offense and get the best out of his teammates. Diogu feels James ticks all the right boxes whether it is to pass, score, rebound, and provide assists to his teammates. LeBron James is well known to bring his best to the table and he is one of the greatest players of all-time.

Diogu told ESPN: “I think that LeBron is the greatest all-around player of all time.

“I played against Kobe, I played against Shaq, I played against LeBron. Those are all some of the greatest players of all time. I just think that LeBron is the best all-around [at] being able to pass, score, rebound… just, everything.

“He’s definitely the greatest. Obviously, to be the size that he is and have some of the physical gifts that he has is pretty crazy — and [to do what] he’s still doing today.”

On the other hand, Diogu played in the NBA for a decade but feels his career was derailed by a plethora of injuries. He added that he could have had a more successful career if he was not hampered by injuries.

“I just wish I wouldn’t have had some of the injuries I had, so that I could have played more. I don’t think I really got to show what I was really capable of doing. “I definitely showed flashes and spurts when I was given playing time, but then I would have untimely injuries that would just derail my momentum.”

Meanwhile, LeBron James is averaging 29.1 in the ongoing season and the Lakers will next face LA Clippers on Friday.
