I am a traveler.
In birth, I had struggles, but shifted a tad to become a double saint,
Based, to be honest, on what I could do with a bit of paint.
I'm proud to say that I became unbeatable there,
although I had to drop one loss because of some wear.
My next stop was spectacular - cloud nine!
In my 7 there I had 2 - quite fine!
I was missing something there, though,
So I moved on to a place where I'd get in the flow.
The thing I was missing, I got not once, but twice!
It felt good, though it came with a price.
I returned to the place that was missing one thing
And brought it back with me, now the king.
I told you, I'm a traveler.
There's one more major stop in my long journey
to a lake in the midst of the angels.
That's where I am now, but that's not where I'll stay.
I am a traveler, and I'll always be that way.
What is my name?
The accepted answer should include accurate explanations for each line in addition to the final answer, including the title, which contains two indirect hints.
Note: (that kind of provides a hint)
In this poem, the term "traveler" can be taken in alternative sense to the one intended. Applying "traveler" in that way to the subject of the riddle is vaguely humorous, but not really correct, and I'm not trying to say anything in that direction.

Are you
LeBron James?
I am a traveler.
A basketball player (who gets away with Eurosteps and travels more than he’d admit).
In birth, I had struggles, but shifted a tad to become a double saint,
The first season he played in Cleveland, they did terribly; but he became a Saint in North East Ohio and probably MVP a couple of times.
Based, to be honest, on what I could do with a bit of paint.
He plays Power Forward, which is a position “in the paint” in basketball (let’s be honest, he plays every position)
I'm proud to say that I became unbeatable there,
The Cavaliers got really really good
although I had to drop one loss because of some wear.
He lost in the finals with Cleveland due to everyone being injured (and or not LeBron)
My next stop was spectacular - cloud nine!
He went to the Olympics as part of team USA
In my 7 there I had 2 - quite fine!
He won two gold medals
I was missing something there, though,
He never won a ring during his first stint in Cleveland
So I moved on to a place where I'd get in the flow.
The LeDecision took him to South Beach and the Miami Heat
The thing I was missing, I got not once, but twice!
He won two championships (but promised Miami like 7 though)
It felt good, though it came with a price.
Winning is good, the price was the hatred of Northeastern Ohio basketball fans, and also Chris Bosh’s career
I returned to the place that was missing one thing
He returned to Cleveland, missing a championship
And brought it back with me, now the king.
Never forget the Warriors blew a 3-1 lead (to LeBron)
I told you, I'm a traveler.
(And gets all of the calls)
There's one more major stop in my long journey
He moved on again
to a lake in the midst of the angels.
To Los Angeles, to play for the Lakers
That's where I am now, but that's not where I'll stay.
He’s going to play with Bronny when his son gets to the NBA
I am a traveler, and I'll always be that way.
(Please come to Toronto, Kyle Lowry still has nightmares about last postseason)
What is my name?
LeBron James!
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Definitely on the right track here, but some of the line-by-line explanations could be improved on. Up to LeDecison is a little iffy-you've missed a stop in his travels (an early one), and it results in some stretches for a few explanations.

I can't answer the question because I don't know enough about
basketball.
Travelling
is a bad thing in that game.
The one part of the clue I can parse is that
a lake in the midst of the angels
appears to refer to
the Los Angeles Lakers.
