LeBron James, who signed a four-year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers in the past days, is already the most talked about basketball player of the summer. With a contract of $ 154 million, we took a look at LeBron's life, career and successes

Who is LeBron James?

James opened his eyes on Akron, Ohio on December 30, 1984, and spent most of his life in Akron. As a child of a poor family, LeBron has been a spore since childhood. At the beginning, he was interested in football and he met with basketball at the age of 9.

LeBron, who first fought against NEO Shooting Stars, a part of the Amateur Athletic Union, had many local successes. The high school is St. Vincent-St. After registering for the school's basketball team, LeBron James, who was on the way to Mary High School, started the real story. The performance he showed here first appeared in local and later national media news and was featured in "The first steps of the future basketball star of your future".

The matches he has played in high school have already started to be seen in ESPN all over America. Many magazines or television channels were interviewing him and his family, not wanting to miss the chance to talk to him in the early days of his future NBA star.

When LeBron was expected, the real legend was beginning when the Cleveland Cavaliers were first picked in the 2003 NBA draft.

Cleveland Cavaliers Years ?

LeBron signed the team of the city where he was born and raised in 2003 and had a great start to the season. In the rookie, James scored 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, and for the first time, NBA championship in the NBA finals. Cleveland Cavaliers, who faced the San Antonio Spurs in the finals after taking the team to the conference championship, was able to make the effort with his team's 4-0 victory.

"Carrying Capabilities to Miami" ?

One of the biggest breaks in LeBron's career is undoubtedly the decision he made in the summer of 2010. Almost all of that summer was talking about what American Lebron would go for. James even made a decision called "The Decision" and finally explained his choice, explaining that he decided to move his skills to the south and would now wear the Miami Heat form. James, who had a good chemistry with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh when he joined the team, first reached Miami in the hope of reaching the championship, which he called the greatest dreamer. LeBron James, who won the Miami Heat title in 2012 and 2013, made a new decision in the summer of 2014 after signing statistics such as 26.9 points and 6.7 assists in Miami's seasons.

Return Home ?

In the summer of 2014, just as it was four years ago, LeBron James was talking about what he was going to wear. LeBron did not wait for people this time, and announced that he would return home with a surprise decision to many, and again to wear the Cleveland Cavaliers form. With the team of the town where LeBron was born and grew up, the desire to win the championship was dominant and Cavaliers first came to the finals with the team formed around him, and then the championship in the 2016 NBA finals led to an unforgettable victory.

Journey to the City of Angels ?

LeBron, who won four times in the second Cleveland season and once won the championship, gave his third big decision of the career in the past days. This time he never waited to announce his agreement with the Los Angeles Lakers. This decision was an expected development for most basketball fans. What kind of team is going to be formed around LeBron in the Lakers is now the most curious question for NBA fans.
