On August 24, Beijing time, according to the American media Basketball Forever, since 2008, James has achieved an incredible 21 consecutive victories in the first-match match. These include a 6-0 tiebreaker, a 9-0 record at the Olympics, a 3-0 record in the play-offs and a 3-0 record in the mid-season tournament. Basketball Forever refers to James as the "key king".

The last time James lost such a game was 16 years ago, specifically in the 2008 playoffs second round against the Celtics, and since then, James has never lost a game like this. James has often been questioned for not playing a key role, but the 21-game winning streak in "win or go home" has proven otherwise.

The final victory of the 21-game winning streak was against the France men's basketball team in the Olympic gold medal match. James contributed 14 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 block and 2 steals to not only help the United States men's basketball team win the championship, but also was elected MVP of the Olympic men's basketball team. It was James' third gold medal at the Olympics.

American media Yardbarker commented that James is an MVP star no matter where he is. Being named Olympic MVP means James is the only player in basketball history to have won the regular season MVP, Finals MVP, All-Star Game MVP, midseason MVP and Olympic MVP. If Durant wins the midseason MVP in the future, he will join the ranks.

James, who is about to be 40 years old, will soon usher in his 22nd season, in which he will achieve father-son status and continue to break his NBA all-time scoring record, he has scored 40,474 points, ranking first in history, and the only player to score more than 40,000 points. Among the active players, the closest to him is Durant, but there is also a difference of 11,550 points.
