The first definitive biography of basketball legend LeBron James,
by the acclaimed author of Tiger Woods. LeBron is unquestionably
the greatest basketball player of the 21st century. Off the court,
LeBron's political activism, outspoken stance on racism and social
injustice have helped build a social media presence that includes
117 million followers on Instagram and 51 million followers on
Twitter. He is an international brand worth billions of dollars. He
doesn't just have huge endorsement deals with some of the biggest
corporations in the world; LeBron sits on boards of directors and
has an equity stake in the companies he sponsors. He has forged a
close friendship with President Barack Obama and clashed publicly
with President Donald Trump. As a child, LeBron was a lost little
boy living in a public housing project in Akron, Ohio. His mother,
who had LeBron when she was just sixteen, would disappear for days
at a time. Scared and alone, LeBron rarely attended school. He was
dirt poor and fatherless. And he had never played organised
basketball. Yet he would become the most successful and most
popular athlete that the United States has produced this century,
bringing success to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los
Angeles Lakers. To tell this epic story, Benedict has done
exhaustive research, digging through thousands of pages of primary
source documents, articles, books and hundreds of hours of video
footage. He's also conducted hundreds of interviews with the people
who were intimately involved with LeBron from the beginning of his
life to the present. He shows the initial slow rise of a star that
suddenly transformed into a speeding comet during his senior year
of high school. It is a unique and unmissable insight into one of
the world's greatest athletes.
