Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James came from the small town of Akron, Ohio. And he was the only son of Gloria Marie James, who worked hard to provide him with a stable environment and bought him up against all odds. James credits his mother for his huge success and for being a role model. And he recently sent an emotional message to his 54-year-old mother.

LeBron James was born in 1984 when his mother was only 16 years old. It was a less-than-ideal situation for the James family, as Gloria lived with her mother. But unfortunately, she passed away when James was only 19 years old.

And this led to Gloria James raising her kid all by herself. She had to make sacrifices to raise him as a single mother and had to work hard to provide him with a stable environment. And as a result, LeBron James and his mom remain very close to this day.

LeBron James shares a heartfelt message to his mom

LeBron James’ mom recently posted a message showcasing her love for her son. She captioned it with a photo of the two and she said, “My truest blessing. I couldn’t have asked God for anyone better. Love you my son.” And James reposted his mom’s post on his story and wrote: “I LOVE YOU MORE MAMA!”
