LeBron is the greatest basketball player of the 21st century, and vying with Michael Jorden as the greatest of all time. He wears the crown like he was born with it. Yet his ascent has been anything but effortless and predetermined. As a child, he was a scared and lonely boy living a nomadic existence in Akron, Ohio. His desperate mother placed him with a family that gave him stability and put a basketball in his hands. Bringing home Cleveland's first NBA title was the culmination of a stellar multi-championship, multi-MVP, gold medal-decorated career. Today LeBron also produces Hollywood films and television shows, has more than 100 million followers on social media, engages in political activism, has taken outspoken stances on racism and social injustice, and transforms lives through his visionary philanthropy.
