LeBron James remains one of the best players in the NBA despite entering Year 21 of his career and turning 39 in two months.
James is no longer a top-tier fantasy basketball option, but he's still a productive player to have on your roster. Another valid reason to have "The King" is for a LeBron-inspired team name.
James averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, while shooting 50.0% from the field last season. He is still a relevant fantasy player who you can draft somewhere in the late second round or early third round. He'll provide points, rebounds, assists, stocks and high field goal percentage.

However, the LA Lakers superstar can affect free throw percentage and turnovers. It's also likely that James will miss a bunch of games due to rest and possibly injuries. He's been injury-prone since joining the Lakers in 2018, so fantasy managers should be ready for him to miss some time.

Another declining part of James' fantasy basketball value is his stocks, which are steals and blocks. He averaged 1.5 stocks per game last season, which is the lowest of his career. Father Time is undefeated, so his athleticism will likely be taking a slight hit.
On that note, most fantasy leagues have likely drafted their team and it's time to look for the best name possible. If you have "The King" in your roster, here are some LeBron-inspired fantasy basketball names.

LeBron James dedicating Year 21 to Bronny
LeBron James is dedicating his 21st NBA season to his eldest son Bronny, who suffered a cardiac arrest a few months ago while training at USC. Bronny was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect and has undergone successful surgery to correct it.
"I'm going to dedicate this season to Bronny because of the incident that happened this summer," James said. "It just puts everything into perspective. No matter what's going on your life at that point of time, the only thing that matters is your family. To see what he had to go through, what he’s been through over the last few months, it's been a lot."
