[Comprehensive evaluation] LeBron James, wearing jersey No. 23, the leader of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Therefore, it is also commonly known as the little emperor, and some people call him the little king. BILL SIMMONS ranks second on the list of the least traded, and is also the person with the highest trade value. He is young, has a good figure of 6-8, abnormal athletic ability and outstanding strength, and can do anything on the court. An absolute all-star player.

[Offense]

Shooting: His mid-range shots and three-pointers are improving year by year. Coupled with his selfless sharing of the ball and the correct shot position, although he shoots A lot of times but he has an amazing shooting percentage that is rare among defenders. However, due to mechanical practice, the movements are relatively stiff. Also, the free throw shooting percentage is not very ideal, averaging around 74% in the past three years. (There was once a video of him abnormally throwing N three-pointers in a row during backcourt practice. It was very scary and worth watching).

Passing: Passing is another unique skill of his. Although he is 6-8 tall, his vision and precise passing skills are better than those of ordinary NBA point guards, making him a rookie. He started the season as a point guard. In the second and third seasons, he also held the position of small forward. He is omnipotent and can score everything on the court. This can be seen from his data.

First of all, as a swingman, his vision of the court is top-notch. He can pass the ball out when his teammates need it most, and he is familiar with everything from behind to hitting the ground.

Breakthrough: Sharp breakthrough, both in first step and change of direction. He often breaks into the paint and gives the enemy a tomahawk dunk. A good foul maker, he often uses his strong body to create fouls during LAYUP, and also often uses his coordinated body to send the ball in and score 2+1. But I don’t seem to like continuous breakthroughs very much.

Fast Break: You can often block in the backcourt, then rush to the frontcourt ALLY-OOP or steal the ball yourself and use your own unique JAMES Dapeng wings to dunk the ball in. He is not only the completer of quick moves, but sometimes the initiator of quick moves. He passes the ball beautifully so that his teammates can easily LAYUP or DUNK to score.

Low post: He has certain post-up skills. Although he is not as sharp as a breakthrough player, he mostly relies on his excellent strength to complete the game well. (But looking at the statistics, it turns out that the PF position is the most efficient, I am completely speechless)

[Defense] is supposed to be a good defender, with excellent physical fitness that is even close to that of BT. It is difficult not to become a good defender. defender, but his defense is still slightly inferior to his offense. It seems that most people who have not gone through college have some problems with their defensive steps. The little emperor also has these problems, but he is already much better than other high school students. At least if he is not good enough, he can make up for it with his excellent body. But the defensive gamble is too great, and he likes to steal the ball with his skills, so he has good steal data, but you must know that in the NBA, if you don't steal the ball, you will be passed...

[Position] Many people like to compare LeBron and Magic. Indeed, many of them are too similar. They can all play positions 1 to 4, and even the 5th position. LeBron may not have as weird a pass as Magic, but his overall view and leadership ability are no less than Magic. His dribbling ability is better than that of an average point guard. At critical moments, it is LeBron who controls the ball and organizes the offense, but this will affect many of his offensive abilities.

[Signature move] Biting fingernails.

On December 30, 1984, LeBron James was born in Akron, Ohio. His mother, Gloria James, was 16 at the time. His biological father, Anthony McClelland, was a man with multiple criminal records and had no interest in being a father. Gloria raised LeBron alone, and to this day LeBron still bears his mother's last name.

The life of LeBron and his son was very difficult at that time. Gloria's childhood was also full of problems. Some of that was caused by her mother's death when LeBron was just a baby. Sometimes doing some retail business, sometimes doing accounting work, Gloria has never been able to get a stable job. The mother and son kept moving, and they lived in Akron, about an hour south of Cleveland, with a population of more than 20 A city of thousands - a ghetto.

Despite Gloria's many shortcomings, she still worked hard to save LeBron from poverty and street violence. This is not something that can be done easily, and sometimes, (the pressure of life) makes his choice of boyfriend puzzling. When LeBron was 2 years old, she began dating Eddie Jackson. Jackson had constant trouble with the law and was sent to prison in 1990 for drug trafficking. (In 2002, he pleaded guilty to mortgage fraud and mail fraud.) However, LeBron had developed a good relationship with Jackson, and Gloria wanted a man by her side who was willing to take on a fatherly role. Her brothers, Terry and Curt, also helped a lot.

From a very young age, LeBron showed talent in basketball. When LeBron was a baby, Gloria gave him a small hoop and ball, and he happily played with them for hours every day. LeBron also has the genes to grow into a tall, elite basketball player. Although Gloria is only 5 feet 5 inches tall, she has some relatives who are much taller than her.

When LeBron entered elementary school, the negative effects of his itinerant lifestyle began to show. His home life made him feel awkward, and he had few friends.

Although he wanted to do well in school, he still had difficulty concentrating on his studies. He found an emotional and intellectual outlet in sports. Basketball and football are his favorites. James has grown into a super athletic player. In addition to his speed, agility and strength, he has the ability to handle situations on the basketball court or football field in his own way. His hero was Michael Jordan, and he imitated his idol's game. LeBron likes to put the ball in the basket. He also likes to shoot pull-up jumpers. At the same time, he is also very happy to distribute the ball to his teammates.

In football, he is usually a receiver. In his first six games in Pee Wee football, he scored 19 touchdowns. His coach at the time was Frankie Walker, a man who would soon have a profound impact on LeBron's life. After that season, Walker heard that the fourth-year star had missed the school's basic classes. Soon after, he discovered that LeBron was constantly transferring schools. Walker found Gloria, who agreed that her son needed a more stable living environment. They all thought LeBron should move to Walker and live with his family.

LeBron quickly adapted to the new environment. Walker and his wife, Pam, have 3 children, Chanelle, Frankie Jr. and Tanesha. Everyone in the family, including LeBron, has chores to do. A stable life has helped him a lot. In Grade 5, James received the school's perfect attendance award.

Walker also had a positive influence on LeBron in basketball. In particular, he taught James how to shoot with his left hand.

After being separated from LeBron for 18 months, Gloria let her son return to her. But when financial problems arose again, LeBron returned to the Walker family. Finally, they agreed to help Gloria pay the rent. Walker and his wife hope LeBron can have a home in Akron.

For LeBron, living in the Walker home also helped his friendship with Frankie Jr. Together with four other boys, Sian Cotton, Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee and Romeo Travis, they formed a good basketball team. On Sunday night, they gathered at the Akron Jewish Community Center, where Keith Drambot, the former head coach of Central Michigan University, organized them to practice and play together.

LeBron and Dru, who played point guard, became very good friends. When LeBron was 12 years old, he spent most of the summer living with the Joyce family.

Emerging Prominence

LeBron and his friends quickly made a name for themselves in Akron. They learned the basics of basketball from Drambot and developed a strong chemistry between them. It's no exaggeration to say that LeBron stands out among his friends. By the eighth grade, he had grown to 6 feet, he could play all positions on the court, and he had a special feel for the game.

LeBron and his friends, coached by Joyce's father, called themselves the Northeast Ohio Shooting Stars. They won the national championship in the 1997 AAU 6th grade national championship game in Salt Lake City, Utah. Face revealed in front of the audience. Two years later, they reached the AAU 8th grade finals in Orlando, Florida. The Shooting Stars won their first five games and met the Southern California All-Stars in the finals. They lost by 2 points (68 to 66), but LeBron's outstanding performance became the biggest highlight of that tournament.

Since then, the self-proclaimed "Four Tigers" LeBron, Joyce, Cotton and McGee decided that they were one and they vowed to play together. Together the foursome attended Saint Vincent-Saint Mary (SVSM) High School, a parochial school in central Akron. SVSM, which is good at academics, is about to stage a new legend led by LeBron.

Before playing basketball, LeBron served as a receiver for the SVSM football team coached by Jay Brophy, a former linebacker for the NFL's Miami Dolphins and New York Jets. A few weeks later, James made his varsity basketball debut on December 3 as a high school freshman and served as the starting backcourt for the Fighting Irish. Keith Drambot, the newly appointed SVSM coach, decided to let him start. LeBron, who wears Jordan's No. 23, is 6-foot-3 and scored 15 points in a victory over parish rival Cuyahoga Falls.

The strong Fighting Irish team, led by LeBron and Maverick Carter (his cousin and an All-State senior), compiled a 27-0 record and won the first-ever NBA championship. First state championship since 1984. LeBron averaged less than 20 points per game, shot over 50% in positional offense, and led the team in rebounds, assists and steals. He shows great ability that belies his age and makes every teammate on the court better. There are rumors that a Cleveland endorsement company has begun to contact him.

In the summer after his freshman season, LeBron continued to make progress. But his biggest change comes off the court. His height has grown by nearly 4 inches, reaching 6 feet 7 inches. LeBron looked more like a man then a boy.

Beginning in the fall of 2000, LeBron played another season of football at SVSM, accumulating more than 700 yards receiving. He made the All-State team, but the Fighting Irish finished with a disappointing 4-6 record.

As LeBron prepares for basketball season, people are starting to talk about this talented player from SVSM. In order to allow more people to watch the opening game of the 2000-01 season, the Fighting Irish arranged the game at the James A. Rhodes Arena (name of the stadium) at Akron University. 5,000 fans packed the arena. LeBron led the SVSM team to easily win the game, and the team entered a new stage from that game on.

The Fighting Irish met the tough Oak Hill Academy team in January. The Warriors (Oak Hill Academy's name), led by center DeSagna Diop and swingman Rashaad Carruth, are a strong team across the country. LeBron and his teammates are not afraid of strong opponents in the game. In this classic game, Oak Hill won by a slim margin of 1 point (79 to 78), but LeBron habitually became the brightest star in the game. Some NBA and college scouts also came to watch the game. He scored 33 points in front of the Warriors. His 3-pointers from outside made the opponents miserable. He ran rampant in the paint and the rim was dunked by him. LeBron had a chance to win the game, but he missed two key free throws and the final buzzer-beating jump shot at the end of the 4th quarter.

The Fighting Irish quickly recovered from the loss in that game. They led the rest of the regular season and made it all the way through the playoffs, winning their second consecutive state championship. The final held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in Ohio attracted more than 17,000 spectators, including North Carolina head coach Matt Doherty and California head coach Ben Braun. LeBron scored 54 points in the two playoff games he won and was undoubtedly the MVP of the tournament.

LeBron averaged 25.3 points, grabbed 7.4 rebounds, and sent 5.5 assists that year. His 3-point shooting percentage also improved to 39%. LeBron (along with Eddie Curry and Kwame Brown, etc.) was selected to the All-American team and was elected Mr. Basketball State as a sophomore for the first time in Ohio history.

Rise in prosperity

The summer after his sophomore year of high school, LeBron first participated in the USA Basketball Development Festival held in Colorado Springs. The first non-senior player invited to the training camp, he scored 120 points in 5 games, breaking the tournament record and winning the MVP.

LeBron next participated in the Adidas ABCD training camp held at Fairleigh-Dickinson University in New Jersey. This time he officially appeared in front of a national audience. Before that week, the focus was on Lenny Cooke, a 6-foot-8 forward from New York.

LeBron, who dominated training camp, dwarfs Cooke, who plans to enter the NBA draft. In front of the ever-present cameras of ESPN's "Life" show and under the watchful eye of college and NBA scouts, LeBron was firing on all cylinders on offense and suffocating on defense. But what really conquered everyone was his passing skills. Before this, most people said he was the next Jordan. Now, the comparison with Magic Johnson begins.

However, there were times in training camp when LeBron seemed tired of the competition and wasn't fully focused. That's when some began to question whether he was the brightest star in training camp. He first regained his focus on the game in a key non-senior game and won the game's MVP. He gave 22 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds. Later, in the wrap-up game that every player in training camp participated in, he and Cooke matched up. Cooke tried to strike first, stepping down and dribbling several times before hitting a 3-pointer. However, LeBron had the last laugh. He scored 24 points, held Cooke to only 9 points, and won the game with a 25-footer.

After ABCD training camp, rumors circulated - broken by the New York Times, and LeBron contributed to the rumor - that he was considering entering the NBA draft after his junior season at SVSM. He eventually changed his mind, thanks to the growing legend of "King James." After publishing articles about 16-year-olds, SLAM recruited him to write a permanent column for hip-hop basketball magazine.

At that time, Michael Jordan invited LeBron to participate in a special training. In that training, he had to take turns against players like Antoine Walker, Michael Finley, Juwan Howard and Penny Hardaway. LeBron struck up a friendship with Walker at Chicago's Mt. Carmel, and Walker remains one of his most trusted advisors.

After LeBron returned home, he began to prepare for the football season of his junior year. Gloria opposed him doing this because she was worried that LeBron would get injured and affect his basketball career. But LeBron still insisted on his opinion. After being a spectator in the opening game, he contributed three scoring passes a week later. Despite being solid at both ends, LeBron also had 52 catches for over 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns. At the same time, SVSM's performance improved significantly, qualifying for the state playoffs with 7 wins and 3 losses. In the first game of the playoffs, the Fighting Irish won 28-20. LeBron fractured his left index finger during the game. He did not report the injury and went on to play in the state finals. SVSM lost the game, and LeBron felt it might be his last football game.

LeBron immediately devoted his energy to basketball. At that time, rumors about his future were flying wild. He has a good grade point average (B) and might consider college. The more likely schools are the University of California, the University of Florida, the University of Michigan, Ohio State, North Carolina or Duke. However, many people have raised questions about whether LeBron should go to college. Although he was a good student, he was first and foremost a basketball player. All kinds of hype came from him one after another, and he had to face various temptations more like a professional player. Eddie Jackson bought him a Ford Explorer (car), which caused an uproar. His name appeared in the headlines of nationally circulated newspapers. Nike and Adidas fought hard to sign him. There are reports that the final signing amount may reach US$20 million.

In this environment, LeBron started his junior basketball season. The SVSM basketball team is coached by Dru Joyce, LeBron's best friend and the father of the team's point guard. The Fighting Irish face one of the toughest schedules in the country. Almost half of the opponents are nationally strong teams. LeBron and his teammates faced Germantown (Pa.) Academy in the first game, which included two stars, Lee Melchionni and Matt Walsh. Thanks to LeBron's 38 points and 17 rebounds, SVSM won 70-64. Next at JAR Arena, the Fighting Irish defeated Vashon of St. Louis and their slick point guard Jimmy McKinney 49-41. LeBron scored a game-leading 26 points.
