MORE LeBron Raymone James, nicknamed "King James", is an American professional basketball player for the Miami Heat of the National Basketball Association.

James has been an NBA champion, an NBA Finals MVP, a three-time NBA MVP, a scoring champion, and the NBA Rookie of the Year. He has also been selected to nine NBA All-Star Games, eight All-NBA teams, and four All-Defensive teams. James is also the Cavaliers' all-time leading scorer. James played high school basketball at St. Vincent – St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. A two-time Gatorade National Basketball Player of the Year, he was highly promoted in the national media as a future NBA superstar. After graduating, he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cavaliers. James led the Cavaliers to the 2007 NBA Finals, their first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history, but the team was swept by the San Antonio Spurs. In 2010, he left the Cavaliers for the Heat in a highly publicized free agency period. In his first year in Miami, the Heat reached the 2011 NBA Finals, but lost to the Dallas Mavericks. James won his first championship in 2012 when the Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, and was awarded the NBA Finals MVP Award.
