He was featured on the covers of both Sports Illustrated and ESPN
The Magazine. He has the scouts of every pro basketball team
drooling. He has been touted wildly on national TV by basketball
experts from Dick Vitale to Bill Walton. He has a reported $20
million dollar shoe contract pending.
And he's still in high school.
Why the big deal about LeBron James?
The odds were against LeBron from the start. Born in poverty to a
16-year-old, drug-addicted single mom, without a father, raised by
various family and neighbors . . . he could have become just
another scarred product of a rough childhood in the projects.
Instead, he's the darling of the sports world--and he plays the
part well.
Sportswriter David Lee Morgan has covered the LeBron phenomenon for
the Akron Beacon Journal since the kid's freshman year and has been
granted unequaled access to LeBron, his family, and his close
friends. He's seen the exceptional play on the basketball court.
But he's also seen how surprisingly well LeBron has handled the
pressure, the scrutiny, the criticism that arrived with the early
onset of stardom. (Just imagine how most of us would have handled
that as a teenager )
An unusual inside look at the rise of sport's hottest young
prospect, now poised at the brink of superstardom.
