Basket Ball

Known as “King James,” LeBron was arguably the most talked-about NBA draft pick, (and definitely the most-talked about high-schooler) putting himself on a short list that included only centers before him; Lew Alcindor, Shaquille O’Neal and Patrick Ewing. In his short time in the NBA, unbelievably, he has lived up to the hype. The body of a power forward, the quickness of a small forward, the eyes of a point guard, and the knowledge of a 10-year NBA veteran, the only weakness James has is a consistent jumpshot and even that is beginning to look like a shaky argument.  LeBron's size and strength, his athleticism and knowledge, his ability to see the floor with Larry Bird/Magic Johnson depth, the ease with which he gets into the lane and finish - all these attributes defy his age and experience.
