On December 30, 1984, in a small industrial city called Akron, a sixteen-year-old high school student named Gloria James gave birth to her first and only son. She raised him as a single parent with help from her mother. She named him LeBron Raymone James.Almost exactly three years later, this child received his first basketball hoop and ball. Little did anyone know that was the moment everything changed. Akron was a rough town with even rougher neighborhoods. It’s a handful to raise a child there while in the conventional two-parent household. And yet, although Gloria bounced between various apartments and jobs, she was able to keep her son away from the violence found in the worst parts of the city. She raised him right, even though it took a superhuman effort to do so. Eventually, a man named Eddie Jackson entered as a father figure into LeBron’s life. As he entered grammar school, LeBron found a connection with the kids in his class by playing sports. However, he was man among boys. At the age of nine, LeBron played his first season of organized American football, scoring a whopping 18 touchdowns in 6 games. Later, he began playing basketball at the Summit Lake Community Center, schooling kids two or three years older than he was. His football coach, Frankie Walker Sr., became another positive influence in LeBron’s life. At some points, the developing athlete would move into Walker’s stable household, where he would be instilled with discipline. He improved from missing 87 days of class to none in fifth grade. He did chores. He easily ingrained himself into their family. Living with a coach helped him athletically, too, such as learning to dribble with his weak hand. And, through his friendship with Frankie Jr., LeBron met and developed tight bonds with classmates that would become his life long friends, running mates and confidants: Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee, Sian Cotton and eventually Romeo Travis. That crew became an instant sensation over Akron, playing ball together, winning games wherever they went. They built up a reputation around the city as rising stars. And once Akron was theirs, they then took on the country. They joined a summer basketball team called the Shooting Stars that was coached by Dru Joyce’s father, and they played in tournaments from one coast of America to the other. And they began to win them, with LeBron taking home MVP trophies at every stop. Eventually, LeBron moved back in with his mother, but he always had a place with the Walkers if needed. He also stayed at the Joyce’s house. He and Dru were close, and like before, it helped living with a coach. And on Sunday nights, the crew began playing with his friends at the open gym in St Vincent/St Mary’s High School. After observing LeBron play, the St. Vincent’s assistant basketball coach walked over to the head coach and said, “This kid’s going to be unreal.” The summer before the friends enrolled in St. Vincent/St. Mary’s, they won the 13 years-and-under national tournament. LeBron picked up another MVP. There was nothing more for him to prove at this level. And high school basketball was not prepared for him.
