About

LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio. He is an African-American and his zodiac sign is Capricorn. His mother Gloria Mae James and father Anthony McClelland were his only parents, though his father was absent for most of LeBron's life. LeBron lived with the Walker family, led by Frank Walker who was a local youth football coach, when his mother decided he would do better in a more stable home due to financial issues.

LeBron played organized basketball from fifth grade and attended St. Vincent-St. Mary High School where he joined the team and gained constant media attention (such as appearing on the cover of "Sports Illustrated" and being named Gatorade National Player of the Year). In 2003 he was selected first overall in the NBA draft by his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. He went on to win Rookie of the Year in 2004 and two All-Star Game MVPs in 2006 and 2007/08 seasons respectively. In 2010 he became a free agent and signed with the Miami Heat for which he won 2012/13 MVP award for the fourth time as well as two Finals MVP awards after winning back-to-back championships in 2012 and 2013.

In 2014 LeBron opted out of his contract with the Heat and returned to Cleveland signing with them officially in July 2014. In 2018 he opted out again becoming an unrestricted free agent once again, announcing that he would sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
