My hero is Lebron James. He is one of the best basketball player ever. Lebron started to play at a young age. He lived with his mom because his dad left him when he was little. When he was young he took pride in playing basketball but he also played football too. When he was younger his mom would make him stay with his coaches because he did not have a very good place to live. During his elementary school year he made some good friends who loved to play basketball. When Lebron was in 8th grade he could dunk on a 10 foot hoop.
