LeBron James Biography


LeBron Raymone James ( also known as King James ). LeBron was born on the 30th of December 1984 in USA, Akron, Ohio the same place that another star was born Stephen Curry. But this isn’t a biography of Stephen this is about LeBron James. 

Where did LeBron grow up and go to school ?
LeBron grew up in Akron where he had a difficult childhood his dad ( Anthony McClellan ) had been to prison so he wasn’t around when LeBron grew up. His mums name was Gloria James. His family were also poor and this meant that he had tough time and struggled a lot. But his basketball coach, Frankie Walker, took LeBron under his wing and let him stay with his family where he could  then focus on his basketball and school grades. LeBron went to high school at St Vincent - St Mary high school in Akron, Ohio. He led his basketball team to three state titles and was named “Mr Basketball” in Ohio for three straight years. He decided not to go to college and went straight to NBA where he was the number one pick in the 2003 NBA draft.

What NBA teams has LeBron played for and his family ?
LeBron was picked by the Cleveland Cavaliers where he played his first seven seasons. Since he grew up just down the road at Akron, Ohio he was considered a hometown superstar and maybe the biggest star ever in Cleveland. However even though LeBron was outstanding on the court, the team was unable to win a championship.

In 2010, LeBron became a free agent. This meant he could go play for any team he wanted, so many teams wanted him and it was big news when he had made up his mind. He actually has the ESPN covering his decision and they even had a whole show called “ The Decision “ where LeBron told the whole world that he was going to the Miami Heat. During his four years with the Miami Heat, LeBron led the Heat to the NBA championship finals every year, winning the championship twice.

In 2014, LeBron moved back to the Cleveland. He wanted to bring a championship to his hometown. The Cavaliers made it to the championship in 2014, but lost when two of their star players got injury, but LeBron then finally brought the NBA title to Cleveland in 2016. LeBron then got married on the 14th of September 2013 to Savannah and had three kids LeBron James Jr, Bryce Maximus James and Zhuri James.
