LeBron James

As an athalete, i need to get ready before every game so i can kick some ass. On other words, i need to get pumped. Athaletes have many ways to get pumped including pounding their chest, yelling, listening to hard beat music, or even listening to soft classical piano mausic. For myself, i like to focus on what i want to achieve but at the same time stay loose. Normally, this a ritual so every game they can be use to doing the same thing. As you can see, LeBron James tosses powder in the air in front of the score table to get himself pumped up (and his fans love it).

James was born on December 30, 1984 in Akron, Ohio, and attended St. Vincent–St. Mary High School in Akron, where he became a starter during his freshman year for the Fighting Irish. He averaged 21 points and 6.2 rebounds, and led the team to a 23–1 record, en route to the Division III state title. Keith Dambrot, now head coach at the University of Akron, was the head coach at St. Vincent–St. Mary. Coach Dambrot started working with James doing $1 clinics at a local recreation center.In his sophomore year, James averaged 25.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.8 steals.He led the team to a 26–1 record and a Division III state title for the second straight season.He was the first sophomore to be named Ohio's "Mr. Basketball" and also became the first sophomore ever selected to the USA Today All-USA First Team. I think its amazing that a high schooler can make the USA first team. And he was still only a sophomore!!!!

In James' junior year his stats improved again. He averaged 29.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals and was again named Mr. Basketball of Ohio.He also earned a spot on the All-USA First Team, and was named the 2001–2002 boys' basketball Gatorade National Player of the Year. It was at this time that his nickname "King James" became a household staple in Ohio.
