About the Author
LeBron James is widely considered to be the best basketball player in the world and one of the greatest players of all time. His extraordinary basketball skills and dedication to the game have won him the admiration of fans across the globe and have made him an international icon. Currently playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, James has won three NBA championships, two Olympic gold medals, and four league MVP titles. Coupled with his success on the court, his diverse business portfolio of investments and ventures - including co-founding production company SpringHill Entertainment and athlete empowerment brand UNINTERRUPTED - have established him as one of the most influential figures in all of sports. In 2017, Time magazine listed him as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. LeBron grew up in Akron, Ohio where he continues to create generational change through his LeBron James Family Foundation that focuses its efforts on helping youth achieve a better future through education. In 2018, his Foundation opened the I PROMISE School designed to help underprivileged students and their entire families succeed in school and beyond.
