LeBron James has added another major honor to his already historic résumé.
TIME recently named LeBron its "Athlete of the Century" as part of its list recognizing the 100 Most Influential People in Sports.
The publication cited his record-breaking career, longevity, global influence, business success, philanthropy, and activism as reasons for the recognition.
In the accompanying feature, LeBron reflected on his place in basketball history and the never-ending debate about the greatest player of all time.
"I’m not taking nobody over me," he said when discussing the GOAT conversation.
The four-time NBA champion also addressed retirement, explaining that his decision will ultimately come down to whether he still enjoys the daily work that comes with competing at the highest level.
More than two decades into his career, LeBron continues to perform at an elite level while expanding his impact far beyond basketball.
