Why did I love this book?
Lebron does not put you in the mind of just a NBA player, but a businessman, a philanthropist, a husband, father, and ultimately a champion, and in reading the headspace, trials, and tribulations of a champion, it truly allowed me to feel like I had the tools to become a champion myself.
The novel is written in such a way that the reader really feels like they are inside LeBron’s headspace in all its moments.
Chronologically weaving an engaging tale that kept me turning the page. In its sections that retold NBA championships, it was written in vivid detail, flashy, and just as feeling as if you’re the one making the game-making plays, but also manages to slow down, navigating the tricky politics of being courted by multiple NBA teams, and how a man of Lebron’s status is careful in cultivating his relationships.
Lebron is a novel about a champion, and for all aspiring champions, it is a way to understand how to become one, what it takes, its many pitfalls, and the sensation of how it feels to win.
