There are many debates of when LeBron James reached his peak in the NBA 

He's played on three teams during his 20-year career, including the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Lakers and two stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford has faced James in every phase and recently gave his thoughts on a recent appearance on JJ Redick's podcast. Horford said James was at it his best his last two years with the Heat (2013 and 2014) and the first of his two years back with the Cavaliers (2015 and 2016). 

"I believe that is was probably his last two years in Miami and when he went back to Cleveland for those first two years," Horford said. "That four-year period, I believe, he's still unbelievable, that's when he was at his peak."

For the record, James won two championships and two MVPs with the Heat. He only one title and no MVPs during his second time with the Cavs
