Mini bio
How it started.
LeBron grew up in Akron, Ohio, and became a national basketball prospect at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. He and his teammates won three state titles before Cleveland selected him first overall in the 2003 NBA Draft. He won Rookie of the Year in his first NBA season.
The moments fans remember.
In 2016, he helped Cleveland beat Golden State in Game 7 for the Cavaliers’ first NBA championship. He recorded a triple-double in the deciding game. In February 2023, a jumper against Oklahoma City made him the NBA’s career scoring leader, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Beyond the box score.
LeBron brings his basketball thinking to Mind the Game, where he and Steve Nash discuss schemes, teammates and the work behind a long career. His screen work includes starring in Space Jam: A New Legacy. He also writes for young readers, including I Am More Than with illustrator Niña Mata.
Still connected to Akron.
His foundation’s I PROMISE work centers on education and support for students and families. The I PROMISE School opened on July 30, 2018, through a partnership with Akron Public Schools. His foundation also documents his support for his old high school, including a renovated gym named The LeBron James Arena.
