Tag details
American professional basketball sensation LeBron Raymone James (aka "The Chosen One") was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio. He was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA entry draft.
LeBron James first gained notoriety as a freshman at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School. He landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine a couple of years later, dubbed as the most promising young basketball talent to have emerged since the likes of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.
As one of the most dominant players in NBA history, LeBron James was named "Rookie of the Year" in 2004 and "Most Valuable Player" in 2009. He won a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and in 1999, led the Cavaliers to their first division championship in 33 years.
In March 2008 LeBron James appeared on the cover of Vogue alongside Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, becoming the first African American man to appear on the cover of the coveted magazine.
James has two children with his high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson.

I love what (LeBron) does on the court when the ball is moving, the offense is being run, he’s in the open court, he chases people down, etc. I really, really don’t love what he does when he takes the ball and runs a 22 second iso play. I don’t love when somebody touches him and the world ends. When the team is ...5 hours ago -

I think the Cleveland Cavaliers should give Allen Iverson a shot. As much as it may seem crazy, it makes a lot of sense to me. Of course, Iverson would have to change up his style, but with things going the way they are for him, he may not have a choice. He is upset and facing the end of his career. He was waived by ...9 hours ago -

I really feel for Magic Johnson today. The poor guy had to begin and end his career in Los Angeles.

Magic also had to share backcourt time with ...10 hours ago -
