LeBron Raymone James (born December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio) is an American professional basketball player who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). James, commonly nicknamed "King James," was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar while still a sophomore in high school at St. Vincent - St. Mary High School, and was named Ohio's "Mr. Basketball" three times. At the age of 18, he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cavaliers and signed a US$90 million shoe contract with Nike before his NBA debut. He has since set numerous youngest player records. During his first season, he received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and in the following four seasons received All-NBA and All-Star honors. He has led the Cavaliers to consecutive playoff appearances in 2006, 2007, and 2008; in 2007, the team advanced to the Conference Finals for the first time since 1992 and the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.

A very good basketball player who came in with people expecting him to be the next Jordan. He's just slightly overrated, as another player who came into the league with him, Dwyane Wade puts up numbers that are as good as, and some better, than Lebron's. He deserved rookie of the year, but MVP speculation in his second year is ridiculus. And Carmelo ain't got shit on him.
Guy 1: Did you see Lebron James and the Cavs play the Heat last night?
Guy 2: Yeah man, Dwyane Wade owned the Cavs more than Lebron owned the Heat!

the undisputed greatest player of all time to play in the NBA, and also to ever touch a basketball or any object that has ever had a rounded shape. The lord and saviour of Cleveland, Miami, and the United States of America. He is the Jesus Christ of the modern day era. Instead of feeding us, his followers, bread and fish, he feeds us with jaw-dropping plays and moments of true greatness. He is the main figure of following in almost every state and city in the United States of America (excluding Boston, Chicago, San Antonio, Detroit, Golden State, and Indiana) who disallow the following of our great lord because of their following of Satan, the great demon and their deviation from normality.

A player in the national basketball assosciation. He plays for the Clevland Cavaliers and is the only reason the Cavaliers made the playoffs.
Although people may say that from his solid statistics and for carrying an abismal team to the playoffs that he should have been named MVP in the 05-06 season.
However, the views of many analysts are that Lebron with his current lineup will never lead his team to an NBA Championship like Michael Jordan did his 4th season (equal to lebron's current season)
The bottom line is that if Lebron spends his career with the Cavs he will be known as "the guy who was almost as good as Jordan with worse stats, no dunk comp championships or Nba championships.
If he moves to a team with other good players eg New Jersey he will not be remembered as his all around stats would drop dramatically as he would not be the only decent player on the team
