LeBron James ha sido la cara del baloncesto masculino desde que pisó por primera vez la cancha. Además de ganar cuatro campeonatos de la NBA, de llegar diez veces a las finales de la NBA y de recibir dos medallas olímpicas doradas, se ha convertido en una superestrella fuera del estadio por su respaldo a la comunidad negra. Por defender abiertamente a los niños en condiciones vulnerables y expresarse contra la violencia policial, James obtuvo el premio del Presidente de NAACP, otorgado a personas que demuestran liderazgo, deportividad y un compromiso con la justicia social. Esta biografía gráfica les muestra a los lectores los momentos que han definido su vida como jugador de baloncesto y activista.

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. Now in Spanish!
