Known to some as “King James,” LeBron James is a famous basketball player that currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron has had a long, decorated, career of awards and milestones in the sport of basketball. Just 24 years old, he has a long career ahead of him to look forward to.

Ohio isn’t known for much, but one thing it can boast is that it gave rise to LeBron James. James spent his younger years going to school and playing basketball on his high school basketball team. Impressively, James was able to make it on the team as a starter even in his freshman year. Luck had nothing to do with it, as LeBron went on to claim an inspiring 20 points average per game.

Sophomore year of high school was even better for King James, as he ended up obtaining the name “Mr. Basketball” among the state of Ohio after a state victory. LeBron’s statistics continued to improve, being bumped up to 25 points each game- something on par with professional athletes in the NBA. Clearly on the road to success, LeBron continued to stay out of trouble and refining his game.

Basketball is something that LeBron felt strongly about, and as such, his passions didn’t waiver in the least in his final years in high school. Whereas most teenagers in his shoes would have completed high school without a single thought, LeBron James instead had the good idea to get to the NBA early. Unfortunately his petition to do so failed, and he hadn’t graduated high school, so he had to finish out the final two years of his high school career before hitting the professional courts.

The first year with the Cavaliers, LeBron made a few milestones. Even in his first game, LeBron James managed to obtain 25 points in total. He would go on to get the Rookie of the Year award, and having done it by being the youngest person to ever do so on the Cavaliers. James continued to do well as he was elected to the All-Star Game, where he also made an exceptional performance and turned heads in the process.

James LeBron is being compared to the likes of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, in terms of total points scored each game, being one of the youngest talents in history to achieve so much, and to accomplish feats such as the “triple-double.” Still in his younger years of life, it would seem that James LeBron has a lot of space in which to grow and improve.

Final Thoughts

Few have obtained as many accolades as King James has, and he hasn’t showed signs of stopping yet. He is currently considering options in renewing his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, yet also investigating other opportunities in his excellent basketball career.
