LeBron James, heading into his 19th NBA season, is no stranger to the big stage. In fact, James has been at the centre of all the hype ever since he announced himself on the global stage while playing at St. Vincent Mary’s in Akron, Ohio. Starring on the cover of Sports Illustrated prior to even making his league debut, the ‘Chosen One’ was thrust into fame since his days in highschool.
As the NBA fraternity recovered from Michael Jordan’s final retirement in 2003, they saw the next and perhaps the best successor to his Airness in a rookie LeBron James. 4 championships, Finals-MVPs and MVPs later, safe to say, the King has delivered. Being drafted by the Cavs in ’03, James resurrected Cleveland, outdoing the expectations in carrying the franchise, & leading Ohio to a title after 52 years.
