LeBron by Jeff Benedict

5.0

Fantastic book. LeBron James is arguably the most impressive American athlete of all time. He has lived most of his life in public and his biggest flaw is HOW he announced he was going to play for the Miami Heat.

LeBron’s basketball skills are not his most impressive attributes. His brilliance, instincts, maturity and discipline all outrank his athleticism. These attributes explain why 20 years into his career, LeBron is still one of the best players in the world.

Perhaps his greatest gift is his instincts for who to surround himself with. Starting with Maverick Carter and then Rick Paul, Randy Mims and his wife Savannah, LeBron surrounded himself with an amazing group of talented and loyal people that were vital to his ascension as an icon.

Once LeBron retires the empire he has built off the court will take more of a spotlight. He’s at the front of the line to own the NBA expansion team in Las Vegas. Twenty years from now I expect him to own multiple pro franchises and be one of the most powerful moguls in Hollywood.

This is one of the best sports biographies I’ve ever read about an amazing American. Highly recommend.
