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.
