LeBron James

James married Savannah Brinson, his high school sweetheart. Together they have two sons, LeBron James, Jr. and Bryce Maximus James. They currently reside in Coconut Grove, an affluent Miami neighborhood.

A philanthropist, he is an active supporter of the Boys & Girls Club of America, Children's Defense Fund, and ONEXONE. He has also established his own charity foundation called the LeBron James Family Foundation.

LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio, to Gloria Marie James and Anthony McClelland an exconvict. Gloria raised him on her own as his father was uninterested in being a parent.

Realizing he would be better off with a more stable family, Gloria allowed him to live with the family of Frank Walker who introduced him to basketball when he was nine years old.

He played Amateur Athletic Union basketball for the Northeast Ohio Shooting Stars and chose to attend St. Vincent–St. Mary High School, a white private school, instead of their local public school.

In his senior year too he was named Ohio's Mr. Basketball and USA Today All-USA First Team and Gatorade National Player of the Year for the third and second consecutive years respectively.

James was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA Draft. He was eventually named the Rookie of the Year, finishing with averages of 20.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game.

At 19, LeBron became the youngest member of the basketball squad in 2004 Athens Olympics but he spent most of the time on the bench.

He made NBA history again in 2005, when he became the youngest player to score more than 50 points in one game. He was selected for the NBA All-Star game for the first time.

With averages of 27.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 2.2 steals per game, he became the youngest player in NBA history to be named to an All-NBA Team, in the 2004–05 seasons.

In 2006, he helped his team beat the Wizards in the first round of playoff. Against the Pistons in the semifinals, even his average of 26.6 could not secure his team’s victory.

James’ team ‘Miami Heat’ won the NBA championship for two consecutive years from 2012 and he was declared NBA Most Valuable Player, which he had been winning for two years already.

He was part of the Olympic gold winning American team at Beijing (2008) and London (2012) games, and a bronze at Seoul Olympics (2004). He also has gold and a bronze FIBA Americas Championship medals.

The 2011-12 season ended with Miami Heat beating Oklahoma City Thunder to win the NBA Championship - James’ first NBA title. In the final game, he scored 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.

He made NBA history in 2013, at age 28, he became the youngest and 38th NBA player to score 20,000 points, succeeding Kobe Bryant of the Lakers—who accomplished this feat when he was 29.
