LeBron James: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball’s Greatest Players (Basketball Biography Books) Kindle Edition

LeBron James: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players is an inspiring tale that talks of LeBron’s rise from the poverty stricken streets of Akron, to his meteoric rise as an NBA superstar who is recognized globally today. LeBron has addressed various issues from his life, such as the lack of a father figure growing up, and the challenge of handling media with the knowledge that millions are looking up to you. It also closely follows LeBron’s basketball career, starting with his middle school AAU tournaments, his high school career and his immediate breakout into the NBA, forever changing the basketball hierarchy that’s previously existed. The book also touches on his family life. Even though LeBron is proud about the fact that his mother had raised him well, the lack of the father figure has been missed, and he intends to not do the same for his sons, by always being there for them. Despite all the high praise for LeBron he is without fault: in his career changing decision by joining the Miami Heat in 2010, he has shown more bravado than is needed and took on a villain persona throughout the season, which didn’t end up in his favor. All in all, this book is a must read for LeBron’s fans. It is still a good book for young people and casual basketball fans, as they will be able to relate to this work.

LeBron James: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Greatest Players is definitely like the title proposes, inspiring. I think, in general, any professional sports player, has an interesting story to tell and can be a great example for our youth. However, this one is certainly standing out by showing how much perseverance that athlete demonstrates at a young age, and does not give up on his goal, his dream. I have a middle school student myself and it is so easy for young people to get discouraged, because of peer pressure, lack of parenting support and unfortunately these days also bullying in so many cases. Being active, involved in a sport, can be an excellent outlet to bullying, drugs, or any bad influence the children are exposed to, as Lebron had to avoid himself. LeBron shows everyone in his book, that with hard work, and positive attitude, not only you can go on with life, and be successful, but you can truly become a national model for so many others. The beauty of this book is that you can read it a few times and get more out of it each time as it covers so many angles of LeBron’s life: personal and professional.

Mi nieto lo disfrutó mucho

Great for my son who I am encouraging to do more reading

I became interested in the NBA for the first time a few years ago, but even before I started watching basketball I knew who LeBron James was! This was a really interesting and in-depth book into his life and career, and I found all of the details about how he rose to fame fascinating. I'm still learning about basketball, but the skill James has is undeniable. I really enjoyed reading the details of the 2013 and 2014 NBA finals, since those were the first finals I ever watched. Reading about them now helps me understand what I was watching, and gives me a new appreciation for James' skill. If you love basketball and talented players, then this book will definitely keep you interested!

This is a very interesting and insightful, detailed history of of LeBron James life and his journey in becoming one of the greatest basketball players. This book goes through his life and how it was being raised by a single mother and without a father figure to guide him through life as well. Then it walks you through his basketball career from when he started playing basketball as a child until his now and current standing in the NBA. The story of LeBron James is a very inspiring story; It is also great to hear that he plans to be a better father than he had. This is definitely a great book to buy for those basketball lovers.

12 year old love Lebron so he chose this as one of his summer reading books. Seems to like it and gets an inside look at what it takes to become a world champion.
