LeBron James career
James has won two Olympic gold medals, three All-Star MVP awards, four NBA MVP awards, four NBA Finals MVP awards, and four NBA MVP honors.
After being named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2004, he quickly rose to become one of the top players in the league, taking home the NBA MVP trophy in 2009 and 2010 and guiding the Cavaliers to their first NBA Finals trip in 2007.
James left Cleveland as a free agent in 2010 to join the Miami Heat after failing to win a championship; this was revealed in the television show The Decision and is one of the most contentious free-agency moves in sports history.
In addition to winning the league’s MVP and Finals MVP awards in both of these seasons while playing for the Heat, James won his first two NBA titles in 2012 and 2013. James chose to forego the final year of his contract with the Heat in 2014 and re-signed with the Cavaliers.
He helped the Cavaliers come back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Golden State Warriors in the Finals in 2016, bringing the team its first championship and putting an end to the Cleveland sports curse.
James signed with the Lakers in 2018 and used his contract option to leave the Cavaliers. There, he won the 2020 NBA title and earned his fourth Finals MVP award. James is also the first NBA player in history to earn $1 billion while still playing.
James has amassed more recognition and money off the court thanks to his many endorsement deals. He has appeared in publications, documentaries (in which he served as executive producer and won two Sports Emmy Awards), and television advertisements.
He has hosted Saturday Night Live, won 19 ESPY Awards, and acted in the sports movie Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021).
James leads the LeBron James Family Foundation, which has developed an elementary school, housing complex, retail plaza/community center, and medical center in Akron. James has been a part owner of Liverpool F.C. since 2011 as well.
