Who is LeBron James?

LeBron James was born in Akron, Ohio to a single mom. He had a really challenging childhood because his mother had trouble making ends meet. Because of that, she send LeBron to live with a family friend who was a local youth football coach. He was the one who introduced James to sports. While in high school LeBron played both football and basketball. But it seemed like basketball was his true calling. In 2003 he was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the number one overall pick. Since then he has won three championships, three Finals MVPs and 4 league MVPs among many other accolades.

Who did LeBron James play for?

James started his career in his home town of Cleveland, Ohio. Winning Rookie of the Year put James on the path to stardom. In the seasons that followed he solidified his place as a superstar by winning his first two MVP awards and making the All-Star games among other achievements. Unfortunately, during his first tenure with the Cavs, LeBron didn’t manage to get to the Larry O-Brien Championship trophy. That resulted in what was knows as “The Decision”, when James announced on live TV that he will be signing with the Miami Heat. This resulted in his jerseys being burned on the streets of Cleveland with fans calling him a traitor.

James’ years in Miami

By signing with Miami, James had a lot of people to prove wrong. Fortunately, that is exactly what he did. During his time in Miami he put the league on notice not only by winning his second back to back MVPs, but also winning two back to back championships. Forming a big three with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, James was still the best player on the floor. However, after a disappointing loss to the San Antonio Spurs, which kept the heat from completing a three-peat, LeBron decided to go back to Cleveland and make good on his promise to bring a championship to the city of Cleveland.

Going back to Cleveland, LeBron solidified himself as one of the best to ever play the game

LeBron’s second tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers

After going back to Cleveland James wasted no time and took the team to the NBA Finals. Facing the Golden State Warriors, led by the MVP Stephen Curry, the Cavaliers lost the series in six games. That, however, was just the beginning of a rivalry that would span four years. After losing in 2015, the Cavs and Warriors were once again the contenders for the title in 2016. This time James had the help of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. After the Warriors led the series 3-1, the LeBron led Cavs came back strong and became the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Finals, winning the title in 7 seven games. Naturally, James was named the unanimous Finals MVP. The rivalry continued in 2017 when the Warriors defeated the Cavs in 5 games and in 2018 when the Cavaliers were swept by the Warriors.

After the sweep in 2017, LeBron signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. Unfortunately, his first season with the team was a complete let down. This resulted in James missing the playoffs for the first time since 2005, as well as the Finals since 2010. In 2019, however, things looked a lot different. By adding superstar Anthony Davis to the roster, the Los Angeles Lakers became an immediate title contender. Now, after defeating the Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and Denver Nuggets in the playoffs, the team is off to the Finals, where they will face James’ old team – the Miami Heat.

LeBron James is also knows as King James

The King’s charity ventures

James is well known for his strong opinions on politics, racism and injustice. Having grown up in a low income household, James knows what it means to be an underdog. After founding the LeBron James Family Foundation, he opened his I Promise school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. He has also been a strong advocate for racial equality. He has also expressed his strong feelings against Donald Trump’s presidency, resulting in a Twitter beef with the President. What’s more, LeBron’s opinions on police brutality and his support for the Black Lives Matter movement have caused people to ask him to “shut up and dribble”, insisting that it is not his place to deal with those things. This caused quite a stir and many fans and people who agreed with James’ opinions voiced their support for him.
