Who is LeBron James?

LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio.  James was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA Draft. He was eventually named the Rookie of the Year, finishing with averages of 20.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game. At 19, LeBron became the youngest member of the basketball squad in 2004 Athens Olympics but he spent most of the time on the bench. He made NBA history again in 2005, when he became the youngest player to score more than 50 points in one game. He was selected for the NBA All-Star game for the first time.  James’ team ‘Miami Heat’ won the NBA championship for two consecutive years from 2012 and he was declared NBA Most Valuable Player, which he had been winning for two years already. He was part of the Olympic gold winning American team at Beijing (2008) and London (2012) games, and a bronze at Seoul Olympics (2004). He also has gold and a bronze FIBA Americas Championship medals. The 2011-12 season ended with Miami Heat beating Oklahoma City Thunder to win the NBA Championship – James’ first NBA title. In the final game, he scored 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists. He made NBA history in 2013, at age 28, he became the youngest and 38th NBA player to score 20,000 points, succeeding Kobe Bryant of the Lakers—who accomplished this feat when he was 29.
