Take a trip back in time with stunning snapshots of LeBron James as he lit up the basketball floor.
LeBron first picked up a basketball in fifth grade, quickly rising through the ranks by showcasing his talents not only on the hardwood, but also on the football field during his high school years. His professional journey began with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003, where he made an immediate impact. After seven successful seasons, he took his talents to South Beach in 2010, joining the Miami Heat and winning two championships before returning to the Cavaliers in 2014.
In a surprising twist, July 2018 saw LeBron make a significant move to the Los Angeles Lakers, a transition that set high expectations for the upcoming season. However, the season proved difficult for the NBA superstar as he suffered a groin injury during a December matchup against the Golden State Warriors, sidelining him for 17 games— his longest injury absence to date. As the season progressed, things got worse when it was confirmed that he would miss the final six games, abruptly ending his campaign and missing the NBA playoffs. It marked a stark contrast for a player who had reached the NBA Finals with every team he had represented since 2010. Fast forward to 2024, and LeBron continues to wear the purple and gold for the Los Angeles Lakers.
