where did lebron james play high school basketball
LeBron James James played basketball at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, where he was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar. After high school, he entered the 2003 NBA draft and was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the first overall pick. After entering the NBA, James quickly rose to superstar status which was met with lofty championship goals from media and fans alike. In 2010, he left the Cavaliers as a free agent for the Miami Heat that was announced in an ESPN special titled The Decision. This was one of the most controversial free agent decisions in all of American sports history. James would eventually win his first NBA championship in 2012 and then won another in 2013. In 2014, James opted out of his contract after four seasons with the Heat and signed back with the Cavaliers. In 2016, James and the Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors to win Cleveland's first NBA championship and end the city's 52-year professional sports title drought.
