· One of my favourite NBA players : LeBron James
LeBron Raymone James is an American professional
basketball player for the
Miami Heat of the
National Basketball Association (NBA). Nicknamed "King James", he was a three-time "
Mr. Basketball" of
Ohio in high school, and was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar while a sophomore at
St. Vincent – St. Mary High School. At just 18, he was selected with the
number one pick in the
2003 NBA Draft by the
Cleveland Cavaliers and signed a shoe contract with
Nike before his professional debut. Listed as a
small forward, James has set numerous
youngest player records since joining the league. He was named the NBA
Rookie of the Year in
2003–04,
NBA Most Valuable Player in
2008–09 and
2009–10, and has been both
All-NBA selection and an
All-Star every season since 2005. In 2010, a much-publicized free agency process ended with James going to the Miami Heat. He became the third reigning
NBA MVP to change teams and the first since
Moses Malone in
1982.
[1]The focal point of the Cleveland offense, James led the team to consecutive
playoff appearances from
2006 through
2010. In
2007, the Cavaliers advanced to the
Conference Finals for the first time since 1992 and to the
NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. James has been a member of the
USA national team, winning a
bronze medal at the
2004 Olympics and
gold at the
2008 Olympics------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
