LeBron James, a boy from a small town with a lot of financial problems, is now among the richest athletes in the world. With the No. 1 pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft, he made his NBA debut with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Having worked hard and dedicated himself to the journey, he traveled a long distance.
