Hail To The King
LeBron James was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003 straight out of high school. His impact as a teenager was instant – both on the court and off. King James delivered from the very start in the NBA and earned Rookie of the Year honors.
The King never slowed down after his first season in the league. He has created some of the most famous moments in basketball history. "The Decision" was about overcoming a 3-1 game deficit in the 2016 NBA Finals.
It helped bring a championship to his hometown team. The list of achievements goes on and on. Everything he did on the court, the spectacular dunks, the game changing defensive plays, were done wearing Nikes.
