LeBron James

10 questions · Sports

LeBron James, born in the US state of Ohio in 1984, grew up in poverty with a single, very young mother. Even as a schoolboy he was hailed as a once-in-a-generation talent and became one of the few athletes to actually live up to the enormous expectations. For many years James has ranked among the best basketball players in the world. He won four NBA championships with three different clubs: among them he brought the title to his home region, the Cleveland Cavaliers, which made him a hero there for good. His mix of power, court vision and unselfishness is unique; he is reverently called "King James". Most remarkable is his longevity: for over two decades he played at the top level and eventually became the player with the most points scored in the history of the NBA. James is strongly engaged in social causes: he founded a school for disadvantaged children in his home town and repeatedly takes public stances on social issues. Like Muhammad Ali before him, he is far more than just an athlete.
