A Biography Of LeBron James Of The Cleveland Cavaliers
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.
LeBron James started off life in Ohio, where he remained for his high school years. That is where LeBron started to shine by getting picked to be a started in his freshman year. This feat is unprecedented, and something only truly skilled basketball players an achieve. Even at this young age, LeBron managed to obtain over a 20-point average for each game.
Freshman year was a good start for James, but his second year in high school was even better. James managed to increase his average points per game, and even took his school’s team to the state division and won it. LeBron obtained more recognition than he had already previously had, even nailing a spot on the All-USA First team sponsored by USA Today. He has been the only sophomore to ever do such a thing.
The first half of high school couldn’t seem to be topped, but indeed it was. LeBron James, or “King James,” continued to increased his average points per game and even decided he was good enough for the NBA. King James put out a petition to get on the NBA draft and start his career early, but sadly failed in doing so. His efforts weren’t in vain, since he caught the attention of major teams around the United States. This led to his quick pick up in the NBA Draft.
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.
