READING COMPREHENSION /12


.
1) LeBron James is an American basketball player with the Los Angeles Lakers. James first got
national attention as the top high school basketball player in the country. With his unique
combination of size, athleticism and court vision, he became a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player.
After leading the Miami Heat to titles in 2012 and 2013, James returned to Cleveland and helped
the franchise claim its first championship in 2016.

2) James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. At an early age, James showed a natural
talent for basketball. He was recruited by St. Vincent-St. Mary High School to join their basketball team
in 1999. Overall, James scored 2,657 points, 892 rebounds and 523 assists during his four years there.

3) With his impressive record, it was no surprise that James was the first player picked in the 2003 NBA Draft right
out of high school. He signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers and he proved to be a valuable addition to the team.
The team had ended the previous season in eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

4) During the 2003-04 season, James made history when he became the first member of the Cavalier franchise to
win the NBA Rookie of the Year Award. He also became the youngest player — at only 20 years old — to receive this
honor.

5) On January 1, 2012, James proposed to his high school sweetheart, Savannah Brinson. The couple married in a
private ceremony with about 200 guests in San Diego on September 14, 2013. James and Brinson have two sons
and one daughter together. In October 2004, James welcomed his first son LeBron Jr. On June 14, 2007, Brinson
gave birth to their second son, Bryce Maximus James. Their third child, daughter Zhuri James, was born on October
22, 2014.
