LeBron James
Athletes Who Made a Difference
From the Series Athletes Who Made a Difference
LeBron James has been the face of men’s basketball since he first stepped onto the court. In addition to winning four NBA Championships, ten trips to the NBA finals, and two Olympic gold medals, he has become a superstar outside the stadium for speaking up for the Black community. For being an outspoken advocate for underprivileged children and against police brutality, James earned the NAACP President’s Award, a prize given to players who demonstrate leadership, sportsmanship, and a commitment to social justice. This graphic biography shows readers the moments that have defined his life as a basketball player and an activist.
