LeBron James: The Man Who Would be King

News 18  

LeBron James, blessed with unparalleled basketball skills, exceptional longevity and unafraid to use the platform of NBA superstardom, has forged a unique destiny in his quest to be the best player of all time. James became the first player in NBA history to lead all players in a playoff series in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks as he delivered Cleveland’s first NBA title and the city’s first sports championship since the Browns won the 1964 NFL crown. He was an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, unfazed by a right wing media critic’s admonition to “shut up and dribble.” The I Promise school founded by James in Akron is a groundbreaking public school aimed at serving not only at-risk students but also their entire families. That year, James won his fourth NBA championship with the Lakers, showing that his move to Los Angeles wasn’t an early retirement — even if Hollywood offered him the lead role in “Space Jam 2” 25 years after Jordan brought the original to life. While Jordan always looms in the past, with his six titles in six Finals appearances to James’s four in 10, James remains fixed on the future and a new dream — to play alongside his son, Bronny, in the NBA.
