In an article put out by TIME, they explained why LeBron was chosen for the honor and as you can see, the Lakers star was an obvious choice.
Per TIME:
"After nearly two decades in the NBA, James has fully embraced that his talent on the court is a means to achieving something greater off it. And this year, more than in any before it, he showed why he is unrivaled in both. Despite misgivings, James played on in the bubble and led the Los Angeles Lakers to the NBA championship—his first with the team and fourth overall. By staying, James increased his leverage and influence, and got deep-pocketed owners, fellow athletes and fans the world over engaged directly with democracy. And through it all, he spoke personally to the anguish of Black Americans, channeling pain and outrage into a plan of action."
As time goes on, LeBron will have a massive opportunity to continue expanding his platform, and fans can't wait to see what he is able to pull off next.
