picture from BullsEyeOrg

LeBron Raymone James (born December 30, 1984) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Commonly nicknamed “King James” and “The Chosen One”, the Akron, Ohio-born James was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA star while still in high school, and was named Ohio’s “Mr. Basketball” three times. At the age of 18, he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cavaliers and signed an unprecedented US$90 million shoe contract with Nike before his NBA debut. -wiki-

Seeing Lebron playing reminds me of the greatest player of all time Michael Jordan, they have the same jersey number, and both of them blow your head away by their moves and the from free throw line dunks, even though everybody does compare him to Magic Johnson and Jordan but James compared himself to a young Penny Hardaway. He stated, “Penny sees the whole floor and can score,” James said. “He’s still one of my favorite players of all-time.”, in 2007 he dominated  Game 5 of the 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Finals scoring 48 points, he is an NY Yankees fan “the major league baseball”, and Dallas Cowboys fan “NFL” just like me :) , he won 2007 NBA Eastern Conference Champions with the Cavaliers, and a Gold medal with Team USA, 2007 FIBA America, In December 2007, James is ranked at #1 in the Forbes Top 20 Earners Under 25 with an annual earnings of 27 million dollars, that means he is really rich for those who can’t count, expecting Lebron to be the best next season, since he got more experience now, his teammates are getting better in communicating with him on the court every time I watch their games, even though he did miss a few games those last weeks, but he came back, and the Cavaliers are paying attention to their game now more than before, Lebron is an Icon for every teenager that knows the game of basketball, and that takes us to another point “Don’t smoke crack” :) , take care.
