50 Facts about LeBron James that You Didnot Know
The Lantern blog updates the dossier of the best player in the world.
1. LeBron's mother kisses the Miami players at halftime.
Gloria James gave birth to LeBron at the age of 16, raised him herself and gave him her last name.
She is still the closest person in LeBron's life.
2. In the fourth grade, LeBron missed 82 out of 160 school days
When James was in the fourth grade, Gloria spent seven days in prison for disorderly conduct.
He was so ashamed that he did not go to school and missed most of the classes.
In Gloria's weighty case – contempt of court, hooliganism, violation of public order, illegal entry into someone else's property.
This is even if you donot count her behavior at James ' matches – she tried to deal with everyone who allowed himself to mistreat his son, and earned from him the nickname "Iverson's Mother.
Take two."
From the age of five, James moved seven times a year: Gloria often changed apartments, sometimes settled for a while with friends.
3. As a child, LeBron lived in the house of Frankie Walker, the school football coach
The first game in which James was successful was football.
When the coach of his team, Frankie Walker, found out that LeBron was skipping classes, he tried to influence his mother: according to the agreement, the fourth grader moved to Walker's house for a while.
It was he who introduced him to basketball, taught him how to throw left handed and made sure that James did not miss a single class in the fifth grade.
James stayed with Walker for a year and a half.
After that, the coach helped Gloria pay for housing when she had financial problems.
4. LeBron began to learn to play for partners from the age of 8.
James received his first lesson in basketball wisdom at the age of 8.
He and his friends played in the Akron league, and after winning all the matches, the coach invariably called the" most valuable players "on the team – although James was the highest and did the most on the court, he never received the" title " of MVP.
To all his protests, the coach replied that he would definitely get his own, but one should not forget about the partners.
5. LeBron's father was a famous streetball player in Ohio.
James never knew his biological father Anthony McClelland.
But, according to rumors, in addition to the fact that he was a fraudster traveling from prison to freedom and back, mccleland is a fairly well – known streetballer in Akron and the surrounding area.
In 2008, a certain Leister Bryce Stovell sued LeBron, accusing him of refusing to recognize him as a father and falsifying the results of a DNA test.
In Stovell's testimony, a detailed five page story is given, where the plaintiff recalls the night of James ' possible conception.
The most surprising part of these testimonies remains Stovell's biography – he graduated from Princeton, received a law degree from the University of Chicago and worked for a long time at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
6. LeBron's foster father served six years for drug trafficking and loan fraud.
LeBron had a very close relationship with his adoptive father Eddie Jackson, with whom his mother began dating when James was two years old.
Sporadic trips did not interfere with these relations too much.
When LeBron was 17, Jackson gave him his first car – a Ford Explorer of the 95th edition.
The last time we heard about Jackson was last fall: he was arrested for hooliganism and vandalism in Akron.
7. At first, LeBron played under the number 32 in honor of Julius Irving.
Everyone knows that James ' favorite player is Michael Jordan.
In Cleveland, the forward ran under the 23rd number, and then called on all the clubs in the league to withdraw this number from circulation (thereby indirectly admitting that he was going to move to Miami).
Another of those who influenced him the most is Dr. Jay.
8. LeBron is a connoisseur of the history of basketball.
None of the documentaries about the stars of the past is complete without the participation of James: everyone knows that LeBron is obsessed with the history of basketball and the evolution of the game.
He is interested in everything related to the past, not only because it helps to understand his own place – he focuses not only on the stars and their achievements.
Rather, he is simply interested in the process itself.
Although, of course, we are "witnesses of history".
9. LeBron made his first dunk in the 8th grade during a match between students and teachers.
In 2002, during a practice game in Ohio, James broke a shield and almost broke his neck.
10. LeBron himself voiced his character in The Simpsons.
LeBron James is a fan of The Simpsons.
He fell in love with them since childhood and when he was offered to participate in the creation of the episode, he gladly agreed.
The forward did not even raise the issue of the fee, as he himself considered it an honor to be invited.
11. LeBron underwent eye surgery.
As a child, James had terrible eyesight: because of myopia at school, he had to sit in the first row.
At the same time, LeBron never wore glasses – as he says, "his pride did not allow him."
This had almost no effect on basketball: except that James ' percentage from behind the arc was not so great, and his eye problems affected peripheral vision.
After five years in the NBA, LeBron underwent surgery laser keratomylosis – with which he corrected all the violations.
12. LeBron rides a bicycle to matches and training sessions.
In 2007, James became a co owner of Cannondale, a bicycle manufacturing company.
Since then, this two wheeled mode of transport has become the most preferred for him.
13. A few days after the "Decision", the price for the domain LeBronSucks.com it amounted to 10 thousand dollars.
The project has been ordered to live for a long time, but you can always share your feelings for James on the website ihatelebronjames.com.
14. LeBron is America's most popular athlete on Twitter.
LeBron James ' Twitter account has over 9 million followers.
He is second only to two athletes in the world Cristiano Ronaldo (19 million) and Kaka (16).
LeBron not only leads Twitter himself, but also, as they say, reads the answers.
In many ways, this is why during this season's playoffs, he refused to use a phone and other devices to communicate with the outside world.
15. LeBron doesnot like to read, but he wrote a book.
In 2009, James co authored the book "Meteorites"with the famous journalist Buzz Bissinger.
The work is dedicated to the young years of LeBron and his friends in the Fab Four a team in which he played first in the amateur league, and then at St. Vincent and St. Mary's School.
In fact, "Meteorites" is James ' first response to critics, the first attempt to tell about the pressure that has haunted him since the first days of his playing career – crowded stands, maximum attention of newspaper reporters, temptations.
16. At school, James was forced to cover his tattoos with plasters.
James attended a Catholic school.
They looked askance at tattoos there, and therefore they had to be glued during matches.
17. At school, LeBron smoked marijuana.
The hypervigilance did not pass for James just like that.
At some point, it began to seem to him that he was being watched permanently, and he relieved tension in the same way as his less athletic neighbors in the ghetto.
18. Ticket prices for games with LeBron in the last year of school were $ 100-120
James ' popularity by this point had become such that some meetings had to be moved to the University of Akron arena, and the rest of the home games were broadcast on local television.
The confrontation with Oak Hill was shown all over the country by ESPN2.
19. James ' first tattoo is an image of a lion on his right shoulder.
20. At school, LeBron was disqualified for two games for accepting two retro NBA jerseys as a gift
The sports store handed James two retro T shirts worth $ 845, and he allowed him to use his image on advertising posters.
After that, the local school sports association deprived James of the opportunity to play sports and restored his rights after LeBron protested this decision in court.
As a result, he missed only two games.
21. Jordan's personal doctor helped LeBron recover from a broken hand.
James broke his left hand in the summer before the 10th grade.
This injury automatically ended his football career: his mother was seriously worried that the injury of football could interfere with LeBron and urged him to quit this game a few years before.
During his school years, James was a member of the state football team as a receiver.
James and Jayzee have a secret handshake.
In March 2008, JayzEe recorded the track Blow the Whistle in support of his friend, whose abilities were questioned by DeShone Stevenson.
23. LeBron became the first black man to appear on the cover of Vogue.
This happened in 2008 and turned into a scandal because of the racist background.
24. LeBron's favorite subject at school was geology.
25. When LeBron became taller than Jordan, he refused to measure height.
In the ninth grade, James grew by six inches and became taller than 198 centimeters, the height of his childhood idol Michael Jordan.
Since that time, he refused to measure his height – his official data (203 centimeters) is recorded from his words and is questioned by many basketball fans.
He explained it this way: "I donot want anyone to know me.
I'm like a superhero.
Call me "basketball man".
26. The International Management Group agency began monitoring LeBron from the 9th grade.
27. LeBron participated in an illegal training session with Cleveland before the draft.
Before the draft, clubs are allowed to conduct a limited number of viewing trainings with players.
Contrary to the rules, the Cavs invited James to an unofficial training session, which was also attended by Cleveland players.
The experiment cost the head coach John Lucas 150 thousand dollars and a suspension for two matches, but it fully justified itself: any doubts disappeared.
28. According to tradition, LeBron orders a German chocolate cake for every birthday.
The tradition goes back to the time when James lived with Coach Walker.
29. LeBron tried to get into the NBA without graduating from high school.
The one and done rule, which increases the age limit of players in the draft to 19 years, was introduced in 2006.
Before that, school graduates could also exhibit.
James went further and tried to apply to the league with a request to allow him to stand for a candidate a year before graduation.
The NBA did not dare to make revolutionary changes, and LeBron had to spend another year at school.
30. LeBron writes and eats with his left hand, and throws with his right.
31.
After not playing a single minute in the NBA, LeBron signed a sponsorship agreement with Nike for $ 90 million
The contract was designed for 7 years.
32. In the 10th grade, LeBron participated in the Adidas ABCD Camp, playing in Nike, and in the Nike All American Camp, playing in Adidas.
It was such a fat trolling.
An interesting detail is that the Adidas sneakers were given to James by Kobe Bryant, then the main face of the brand.
In 2003, they both already represented Nike.
But Kobe was far from the only one: at school, James was flooded with sneakers, and he handed them out right and left, throwing them in the school cafeteria.
33. LeBron's first Nike series was inspired by the Hummer story.
The story of the Hummer is one of the key events in James ' preschool life.
A gift from her mother for her 18th birthday could not go unnoticed and provoked a scandal throughout the country: Gloria had to explain exactly where she got the money for such a car.
This story finally formalized James ' status as the brightest star in the United States and became the inspiration for the creators of the first model of the player's personalized sneakers.
34. The "Solution" helped to raise $ 2.5 million for charitable purposes.
Despite the fact that the "Decision" for some time made James the most hated athlete in America, it definitely got the right resonance.
Even in his failures, James is successful: the project helped to raise 2.5 million and use them for charity.
However, we heard this only after a couple of years.
35. After moving to Miami, Dan Gilbert lowered the prices for James ' enlarged heads to $ 17.41.
1741 the year of birth of Benedict Arnold, an American army general who defected to the British side.
36. In 2013, LeBron left the list of the most hated players in the league according to a Forbes poll.
In 2012, he was still in 7th place with 48 percent.
37. LeBron James has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated 20 times.
The second championship of the " Hit "marked another historical step in James' career – the anniversary cover.
The first one was published in February 2002 under the title "The Chosen One" and made LeBron get a tattoo on his back.
Now James is in 6th place – Kareem Abdul Jabbar (22), Magic Johnson (23) are just a little bit left.
Michael Jordan has the most – 50.
38. LeBron overcame his disappointment after losing to Dallas with the help of the book "The Ant and the Elephant".
After the defeat in the final of 2011, one of his friends gave James the book "The Ant and the Elephant: Leadership for Yourself".
The monograph addressed to businessmen shows that understanding the connection between the conscious and the unconscious is the first step for a leader.
An example of how overcoming internal fears and overcoming oneself helps to guide others is illustrated with the help of a metaphor – a rational ant and an elephant following the instincts, which together strive for an oasis in the desert.
It doesnot sound very good, but James preferred the book to TV for a while and, he claims, learned a lot from it.
39. In 2007, LeBron appeared as the host of "Saturday Night Live".
40. Michael Jordan invited LeBron to private training sessions in Chicago when he was still a 9th grader.
After the practice matches, Jordan gave James his mobile number, but lost it.
LeBron's roots started calling "His Airship" and hanging up, after which the number had to be changed.
Michael Finley, Juvan Howard and Penny Harudway participated in those games.
But James became especially close to Antoine Walker, whom he considers one of his close friends.
41. LeBron donated 20 thousand dollars to the election campaign of Barack Obama in 2008.
42. Although LeBron grew up in Ohio, he supports the Yankees, Bulls and Cowboys.
The love for the Yankees was materialized in the model of Air Zoom V LeBron sneakers.
43. In 2007, the Federation seriously doubted whether it was worth including LeBron in the national team for the 2008 Olympics.
James ' infantilism was pretty boring for everyone, and in 2007, Jerry Colangelo and Mike Krzyszewski seriously thought about unhooking one of the best NBA players from the national team: LeBron's childishness and irresponsibility fed up with everyone at the 2004 Olympics and the 2006 World Cup.
Then they said that no one tolerates James.
But he was still given one last chance: at the American Championship in 2007, Jason Kidd personally took over the upbringing of LeBron.
44. Only LeBron and Karim managed to get two MVP titles under the age of 25.
45. LeBron was close friends with Maurice Claret.
Clarett is the same age as James and one of the most scandalous athletes in America.
He received a scholarship as a football player at Ohio University, but after one year he was expelled for several offenses at once: conflicts with the coach, with the university management refusing to pay for some of his expenses, a scandal around an attempt to put pressure on teachers and a failed attempt to deceive the police.
Then Clarett participated in a high profile trial, trying to protest the NFL rules prohibiting the draft of players who did not attend college for three years.
Performances in the league also did not last long: Claret was first expelled from the NFL, and soon was arrested for attempted robbery and sentenced to six months in prison.
46. The reduction of hair on LeBron's head is one of the urgent problems of the modern science of memology.
47. In 2013, LeBron became the second in the list of the richest athletes in America.
James ' earnings for the season amounted to 66 and a half million dollars: 17.5 million salary and 39 from contracts with sponsors.
LeBron missed the presentation ceremony of the players in the second game of the Heat in Cleveland, as he went to the bathroom.
49. LeBron has 5 percent body fat.
Height – 206 centimeters, weight 111 kilograms.
The vertical jump is 111 centimeters.
And wingspan – 214 centimeters.
50. LeBron tattooed the face of his first child, James Jr., on his left arm
Only Michael Jordan and LeBron James managed to win the NBA title, Olympic gold, the title of MVP of the season and the MVP of the final series in one season.
