LeBron James is one of the greatest players of all time, having captured 4 championships and 4 regular-season MVPs. The undisputed greatest small forward of all time, King James has dominated the league for nearly two decades. Despite being a sensational scorer as a 6’9” powerhouse at 260 lbs, James is mainly known as a pass-first superstar who makes others around him better.

James has also been a star who is not afraid of recruiting and playing with other elite players, going against the norm of trying to one-up anyone as much as possible. LeBron likes to uplift others, whether on or off the court, and that has been the driving force behind his Hall of Fame career. Because of his willingness to recruit top players, James has played with some incredible Hall of Fame talent including the likes of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook among others.

Dwyane Wade, Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis all stand out as the best players that James has played with; but there are some current players in the game today that would be perfect partners for The King. While it is very unlikely that LeBron will get a chance to play with these players, it would be to his benefit if he somehow placed himself in a position to play alongside his perfect teammates.

10. Devin Booker

2021-22 Statistics: 26.7 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 4.9 APG, 1.1 SPG, 0.4 BPG

Quite possibly the best shooting guard in the game outside of James Harden, Devin Booker is balling out of his mind this year. The Phoenix Suns’ MVP candidate is putting up solid scoring numbers at 26.7 PPG on 38.3% from three and has a great ability to create his own shots.

Thanks to Booker’s superb offensive player, the Suns have held onto the best record in the Western Conference despite the absence of Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul. Devin is a player that excels on or off the ball, making him a dream teammate for LeBron James who is a willing passer.

9. Zach LaVine

2021-22 Statistics: 24.4 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 4.5 APG, 0.6 SPG, 0.3 BPG

Zach LaVine is a player that LeBron James makes no secret of admiring because he has the tools to be an elite offensive player and also someone a team can build around. The lengthy shooting guard has always had a sniper in his arsenal, shooting 38.9% from three this year.

LaVine’s ability to space the floor and create his own shot paired with his incredible athleticism could give LeBron James a modern reincarnation of Dwyane Wade. LaVine running on the break to spot up for threes or attack the rim for posters gives LeBron a dream teammate, to say the least.
