An inspiring middle-grade biography of the best basketball player of the modern era!

Whether you call him King James or simply LeBron, one thing is certain: He is THE face of the NBA. At just eighteen, with the weight of sky-high expectations on his shoulders, LeBron headed straight from high school to the pros. Cool under pressure, he went on to shatter the record books and become the most popular athlete in America.

Yet nothing was ever handed to LeBron. As a kid, he was forced to move homes constantly, even separating from his mother for a time. But through all the adversity, he took his natural talent and combined it with hard work to set himself on a path to greatness. Filled with sports action and bold illustrations, this exciting biography tells the story of a living NBA legend.
