Lebron James Biography

And if it were not for the age limit of the association that the player could not put his candidacy for the draft until he is 18 years old, then, undoubtedly, Lebron appeared in the NBA for a year, or even two earlier. David Stern did not want to change the League Constitution under the basketball wunderkind, so it remained only to observe how James Blim at the site of his school rivals.

But the treasured moment came: the Cleveland Cavalirez team, which launched a real battle with other outsiders over the last place in the NBA based on the results of the regular championship, chooses in the draft under the first number of LeBron. Naturally, a recent schoolboy still needs to adapt to a large basketball. So said many basketball experts. But the very culprit of the celebration was another opinion on this score, he decided to do without a grandmaster pause and literally burst into the league.

First, it was necessary to pass the strength test when, in one of the pre -season games, he received a knockout blow to the chest from Karl Malone. James withstood the test, and after the match he said: “Well, welcome to the league! If I withstood the blow from one of the strongest basketball players of the NBA, then I can play at a decent level. ” And he was able to.

Having scored 25 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 interceptions in the first match, Lebron forced the skeptics to shut up. He did not need a season for “rocking”, because he was preparing for the NBA all his life. James was born on December 30 in the small city of Acron, located near Cleveland. His mother, Gloria James, who was not yet fulfilled at that time, was forced to take care of the child alone.

Lebron's childhood passed in permanent trips from place to place, which really prevented him from studying at school and making friends. The only thing that has always been with young James is basketball, the addiction to which, as well as to American football, manifested itself quite early. Subsequently, the football coach of Lebron Frank Walker sheltered his ward at his home, thereby completing his endless crossings and skills of the school.

Together, they made their school team one of the best in the state. Lebron himself was a cut above his partners, both literally and figuratively. By the eighth grade, he grew up to cm, he could play in all five positions and, according to his coach, had a basketball sixth feeling. Not even a year has passed since the Lebron team reached the final of the National Championship among eighth -graders.

It was then that for the first time they started talking about James as a future basketball star. Some time later, Lebron and his associates, according to their favorite pastime, decided to continue their ascent to the basketball Olympus together and moved to everyone in the school “St. Vincent - St. and immediately the basketball team of this school for the first time since the year, became the champion of the state, winning in all 27 matches of the season.

And our hero gained an average of almost 20 points and was in the leaders of the team for almost all statistical indicators. Successfully speaking for the football team, Lebron nevertheless did not forget his main purpose, and the rumor about the basketball phenomenon gradually spread in the district. School matches began to be transferred to more spacious arenas, and if Lebron had not been so focused on the game, he could see the gaze of the scouts of the scouts of the NBA scouts directed at himself.

Thanks to the winning for the second time in a row of the final match of the state championship, which was held in the arena, the capacity of which goes off for, Lebron was counted to the All-american cohort along with Eddie Curry, Kuomi Brown and others. In the summer, basketball windoderkind did not lie on the beach, drinking Martini, but lit in various camps. Meanwhile, Jordan himself immediately invited LeBron to his closed training, and the schoolboy tried not to get lost between different Antoine Waker, Michael Finley and Penny Harduei.

By the way, just here, Lebron became well friends with Walker, who later often called him to find out how he was doing, how he behaves, and that to relax from the glory that had suddenly collapsed on him, Lebron switched for American football for a while. However, here he managed to distinguish himself and patch up the general attention. The third basketball season for the SVSM was less successful.

Despite the excellent game of James, his team could not defend the championship title and lost in the final. In addition, he was again marked in different nominations for the best basketball player. Having ignored the rules of the NBA, the head coach of Cleveland Cavalirez John Lucas invited the summer phenomenon to practice with the team before the start of the season and Lucas did not even embarrass a fine of thousands of dollars and disqualification for two games.

After all, he met the possible future of his team! This future was cut under the walnut of some negligent Cleveland players, scoring a couple of times through the hands of Chris Mim and Jumane Jones, as well as distributing several breathtaking “blind” transmissions. Once LeBron trained in one of the school halls of Ohio and almost received a dangerous injury.When he scored the next powerful Dank, the ring could not stand the pressure and broke, and Lebron collapsed with him on the parquet.

His school coach ran up to James for a moment, and the director of physical education rushed to the ring lying next to him. A ring broken by Lebron is money, it is thousands of dollars lying at the feet! Knowing this perfectly, James's adoptive father, Endie Jackson, also ran to the ring. There was almost a brawl between him and the director, and approximately the following dialogue occurred: - Give the ring, please.

It is mine! Come on in a good way. And James himself is better off to insure his health, because no one guarantees that next time the basketball stand will not fall on it. The fourth, last season Lebron in the school team started. He was to appear on the television screens of the inhabitants of Ohio 10 times, just so many games with the participation of King James were decided to broadcast on the local channel.

Lebron was already known to everyone and everyone wanted to see a gifted basketball player with their own eyes. The battle of Naiki and Adidas launched the battle for it, offering more than $ 20 million per contract. LeBron took a year for thought, but did not give up gifts from the companies. Lebron's mother prepared a truly gift to him: taking a bank loan for more than 50 thousand dollars, I bought a Hammer car to my son.

However, then the disqualification was removed, and after a short absence, Lebron immediately reminded of himself, gaining 52 points in one of the games - as much as the whole team of the opponent. Already in advance, refusing to enter the university, Lebron made it clear to everyone that he would put his candidacy for the nearest draft. He talked about his decision as follows: “I made much more difficult decisions in life.

For example, to quit smoking or going regularly to school was much more difficult to choose between the NBA and the University. ” In connection with this circumstance, several NBA teams launched a serious struggle for the worst result in the league, but Cleveland succeeded most of all, which ended up to choose the first. By the way, most likely, the club’s leadership deliberately gave in the middle of the season its main playing Andre Miller to worsen the team.

If so, then it is worth applauding Cavalirez managers for such a radical step, because it is obvious that Lebron James will bring tremendous profit to the club owners. I am a superhero. Call me a basketball man. " It seems that the phenomenal basketball player does not suffer from an inferiority complex. And, I must say, he has every right to such statements.

Because he is "the best schoolboy who has ever played basketball." Because he twice appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, and books are written about it and take TV shows. Because in some month he earned ten times more than Michael Jordan in the first years of his career. Because, by the number of appeals on the Internet, his name costs above all the stars of the NBA, above even Em Jay himself, and now there are talks about the inclusion of LeBron in the American Dream Team to the Olympics, he says so because he was always better than others, he scored more, he saw the site best, he jumped above all, he always had a number.

Lebron “reads” the game a few steps forward and gives out the most beautiful programs, not looking like Magic, like a Mike, he attacks the ring and hangs in the air for seconds, how Tracy understands the opponent’s team, how Ivy bursts into the three -second zone. Its athleticism and outstanding physical qualities amaze. James wins the selection of powerful central ones, but at the same time loves to appear in the position of playing.

He could now win the competition of Slam-Dankov NBA. It is worth recalling how he repeated the famous Coby Trick, Vince Carter and some others, scoring in one of the matches of the school championship from above, having previously transmitted the ball under his foot from one hand to the other. And when Lebron soars up in a quick breakthrough, it seems that a little more, and he will knock his head on the ring.

But most of all, among the rest, it stands out with its extremely high basketball IQ and a kind of instinct to the game. In general, a miracle, not a player!

Thinking about the question of what is more in Lebron James - commerce or talent from God, it is impossible to come to a categorical answer. On the one hand, after three months of the regular championship, there is no doubt about the incredible giftedness of the newcomer: not a single graduate of the school in the entire history of the NBA began his career like that. In the debut season, Kevin Garnett scored 10.4 points and 6.3 selection per game, Kobi Bryant scored about 8 points per game, Trace McGrady and even less.

Lebron statistics: 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. These figures are talking about a lot. But James's game itself speaks more. On the other hand, we can safely say that Lebron James is already a promoted brand.Having not yet played a single game in the NBA, the Golden Boy James has already earned more than millions of dollars in advertising contracts from Naika, Coca-Cola and several smaller companies.

T -shirts with the surname James are sold out instantly, his nominal sneakers, who went on sale shortly before Catholic Christmas, even faster. Prior to James, the Cleveland Game, American television companies showed quite rarely. This season, the US National Television included 13 matches in the broadcasting net! Obviously, this is not an idea of ​​some big uncle to “promote” Lebron and make the audience watch his matches.

Demand is growing - at the same time the proposal is growing. This simple economic formula is very well shown in the situation with all this marketing fuss around James. At first, some journalist was fortunate enough to write the first about a talented schoolboy living and playing basketball somewhere in Ohio, in some local low-engine newspaper. The audience revived, interest appeared.

Publications appeared in the larger newspapers. Gradually, readers wanted to learn more about the young guy who is being read by Michael Jordan's laurels. And rushed.
