Yeaaaa sorry but people came from and come from worse situations.. LeBron had his coach help him and lived with him for awhile meaning life couldn't have been too bad.. js..

Being from Columbus, and a 2001 graduate as well as a division 3 basketball player…. I can tell you. We never even heard of LeBron until the year after this, and even then, it was during the tournament “there’s this dude in Akron that’s a 6’8” point guard”. I believe they went on to lose the state game that next year, but it was that point where the hype machine started really, really rolling. This was the last season where his life was normal.

Young King in the making right here. This is proof how special LJ actually was and is. Bball IQ through the roof. Humble and confident. Demonstrates poise and mature beyond his years
Sounds like you may already know him, but I was curious after seeing how good that little guy was, so just looked him up. Had a really good pro career in Europe. All-time league assist record, and has been a great college coach. He was lightin it up this game. Absolutely fearless. Looks like his father, Dru Joyce II, is the new head coach at Vincent-St. Mary..
I LOST IN THAT AREA 1 POINT 1978 MY SENIOR YEAR 😎 AGAINST AKRON CENTRAL HOWARD 🙏 BROKE MY HEART LIFE FACTS LESSON 🙏 TOLEDO SCOTT BULLDOGS IT WAS A BLESSING 🙏
I never knew he was a 6’2” guard as a freshman. Interesting. There’s a pattern of really good athletic big guys or outside shooting big guys being guards when they enter high school but having a huge growth spurt.
Nba players were hearing about lebron was he was 15-16… nba players were hearing about a 15/16 year old kid that “ can play in an nba all star game right now”.. Paul Pierce told a story about when he first heard about LBJ
@@allurbancentralclips definitely threw me off when i found out lol but it all comes full circle considering maverick is now a business partner with lebron.
Maverick carter and Lebron went to the same high school .. they both played highschool football & basketball .. Randy Mims and Lebron knew each other from childhood also. (they both attended Mavericks childhood birthday party too) Lebron, Randy and Maverick were ALL together when they first met RichPaul in 2002 .. all 4 of them have been business partners since 2006 (the FOUR HORSEMAN)
“LeBron can’t shoot” yet he’s showed he can swish 3s since freshman year of HS (including his first two 3s of this State Finals as a 14/15 year old!). False narratives on him been there for 20+ years! 3 deep jumpers through first 10 mins including 2 threes. LeBron sick vision since early teenager too. Unreal. He’s been throwing dimes to 3 point shooters before it was even a thing!
He had a different shooting motion back then. You can tell at 10:57. It looked more smooth and effortless, like a set shot. By the time he reached the NBA and played for a few years, it became this weird “aim and heave” motion. Looks like a shooting coach messed with his form.
@@claytron3000 I believe it's more a strength issue...he's gotten significantly stronger and it alters his "closer" shots. It's why deep threes look effortlessly and midrange shots look like he's trying to handle fine china lol

Look at the talent jump. From cooking high school kids his freshman year to cooking nba hof the summer he graduated high school.
It’s awesome that the commentators mentions Lebron as a freshman that he thinks he can play at the next level. Lol
