King James

In the NBA, Lebron James has become a dominant force and seems to be a man amongst boys. I have alwasy looked up to Lebron, not only as a player , but also as a person. During my basketball days when I was a nationally ranked player, I met Lebron on numerous occasions. He was always a pleseant person to talk with. I have been watching Lebron since his high school days at St.Vincent St. Marys. I always admired his game which often spoke for itself, but the thing I loved most was his dedication to the game of basketball and how hard he has worked over the years to get where he is now as he still continues to push through adversity, Lebron has always stayed humble, through his downs when he left his hoemtown to play for Miami in which he won to championships, and his ups as he returned home to leave his legacy and bring fortune and happiness back to his hometown. With Lebron being such a big name, he is often criticized whether good or bad and he never lets it get to him. Lebron once said " people can say what they want because at the end of the day they have to go home too their jobs and I continue to play the game I love so they can say whatever they want." That quote shows Lebron being a man of HIGH character and that is what i admire about Lebron.
