FROM THE PUBLISHER:
"His path was laden with possibilities and pitfalls, cheers and criticism, laughter and lamenting, but he arrived at his destination-the NBA-fortified by a solid personal code of honor and academic achievement." -From the Foreword by Nancy Gilliam and M. LaVora Perry::::
Within LeBron James' story are lessons that echo from the years when he and mother struggled to survive and endure hard choices. These lessons deepened when LeBron's unique basketball skills became apparent, drawing national media attention to him and the small Catholic high school he attended.
As he conquered the high school arena and set his sights on the pros, LeBron faced his share of naysayers and skeptics, but he silenced all doubters with his stellar rookie performance during his first NBA season as a multi-million dollar draft pick for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Through it all, LeBron stayed true to himself. Despite phenomenal wealth and fame, the lessons he learned as a young player will hopefully always remain with him, keeping him focused and grounded on his way to perhaps becoming one of the best-and classiest-athletes to ever play the game. |  |
