LaVora Perry ::::Within LeBron James' story are lessons that echo from the years when he and his mother struggled to survive and endure hard choices. These lessons deepened when LeBron's unique basketball skills became apparent, drawing national media attention to him and the small Catholic high school he attended. As he conquered the high school arena and set his sights on the pros, LeBron faced his share of naysayers and skeptics, but he silenced all doubters with his stellar rookie performance during his first NBA season as a multi-million dollar draft pick for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Through it all, LeBron stayed true to himself. Despite phenomenal wealth and fame, the lessons he learned as a young player will hopefully always remain with him, keeping him focused and grounded on his way to perhaps becoming one of the best-and classiest-athletes to ever play the game. ::::ENDORSEMENTS "Robinson.ably demonstrates how other[s].can take lessons from LeBron James' story and apply them to their own lives-whether it's realizing the importance of doing well in school or the challenge of working hard to be the best at whatever one wants to achieve or learning to appreciate the enduring value of family and friends." -Larry E.
