Great young Star Of the Game.



Today Basketball is more then a game it is a way of life. The best players live a good life, but it didn't start that way. An up and coming star is LeBron James. He has a shoe endorsement Nike. He also endorses Gatorade and even car insurance, but he started young. He played his high school ball at St. Vincent-St. Mary HS in Ohio. He came striate out of high school as a first round overall draft pick. LeBron came in to the NBA five years ago. The lucky team that pick up was the Cleveland Cavaliers. Who he still plays for them today. According to the NBA website in the 2007-2008 season started 74 out of 75 games and averaged 30 points, 8rebounds, 7assists and 2 steals per game. There are only two other players to every 30 points in NBA history, Michael Jordon and Oscar Robertson. LeBron also had great achievements in high school. He was named the consensus 2003 National High School player of the year. His junior and senior year he was named the Parade High School Boys Basketball Player of the Year. Gatorade named him the Player of the Year his junior and senior year to. He was doing great things on the court. LeBron lead his team to a win in the state championship 3 out of 4 seasons. His home state of Ohio as named him Mr. Basketball. LeBron his also played International basketball in the last three year. He played on the USA Olympic Basketball ball team. LeBron help his team win a bronze medal in the 06 World Championships. That team also won the FIBA Americas Championship in 07. Also this year in the past Olympics of 2008 helping his teams win a gold Medal. LeBron is a great player to watch play. He is a high scoring small forward. That can get to the hole at will and dunk on the computation. Lebron is a great young star of the great game of basketball.
