LeBron James

LeBron James, or King James, is one of the most dominating NBA players to ever play the game. Some even say he is the greatest of all time.

About LeBron James

Known for: Going from High School to Pro and dominating the NBA since day one

Nicknamed 'King James,' he was a 3 time Mr. Basketball of Ohio and was awarded a $90 Million shoe contract with Nike at the age of 18. Since his debut in 2003, he has led the Cleveland Cavaliers to consecutive playoff appearances from 2006 to 2009. Breaking numerous records already in the NBA, his most celebrated accomplishment was back in 2008 when he scored every point of an entire overtime to win a playoff game.

In a column on James' likelihood of getting named NBA's 2010 MVP, Bill Simmons wrote:

LeBron submitted the most convincing MVP campaign in 10 years. Maybe his numbers didn't differ dramatically from those in his previous two seasons -- although he nearly broke John Hollinger's Player Efficiency Rating record, shot 50.3 percent from the field, and averaged 29.7 points, 8.6 assists, 7.3 rebounds and 5.4 holy-s----did-he-just-do-that's per game -- but these 2009-10 games felt more like performances. We always wondered whether he would become a supernatural cross between Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Bo Jackson some day. Well, it happened. His command of every game, and every arena, was unlike anything we have seen since Jordan's heyday. He put a complete stamp on his team (both its style of play and its personality) like nobody since Larry Bird and Magic. His joy for every game was contagious. He brought it every night. He always gave a crap. Even last season, you couldn't totally say that.

LeBron James won the NBA MVP for the 2009-2010 season. James averaged 39 minutes per game, 7.3 rpg, 8.6 apg, and 29.7 ppg.

After being bounced from the playoffs by the Celtics, LeBron is currently the headliner on a long list of NBA Free Agents. Analysts have dubbed the summer as 'The LeBron James Sweepstakes.' LeBron's future is so important that President Obama recently weighed in on James' future saying:
You know, you could see Lebron fitting in pretty well there (with Bulls Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah). (The Bleacher Report)

On July 6th, 2010 James established a Twitter account to announce which team he would play for next season. In a matter of hours his KingJames account had followers in the tens of thousands. On July 8, 2010 LeBron announced he would play for the Miami Heat, capping an intense media circus, including a full one-hour prime time special on ESPN.
