He wears the #23- Can he live up to it? (LeBron's Career Highlights)
LeBron wears the #23 jersey as a Cavalier; he sure looks like to be the next Michael Jordan. Can he possibly live up to the legend by the famous #23 player?
LeBron admitted that he did choose the #23 to honor Michael Jordan, his role model in basketball. Aside from this, it seems like LeBron has been proving his worth for this claim and for this number.
LeBron's career boomed from the very start. Being the first junior high school student to snatch the spotlight for the NBA Draft, his spotlight did not dim a bit. He was the first overall pick of the Cleveland Cavalier in the 2003 NBA Draft, and joined the team formally in July 2003. Shortly after that, he made his way to the business. From his first year as a professional player, LeBron has been bagging several awards. Such performance is absolutely amazing to a newbie in the professional ball game; and it really made the public stop and check him out.
He got selected to be in the NBA All-Rookie 1st Team in 2003-2004. One of his breakthrough awards is the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2003-2004. This gave him the bragging rights to be the first ever- and youngest, for that matter - Cavalier to receive this award.
With great talent from the very start of his career, he had already marked his name in the NBA history by averaging 20 points in minimum, five assists and rebounds in a single season. With this, he took the third slot in history as a rookie who had this kind of performance for a season. Not only that: LeBron also joined the NBA legends Michael Jordan, Oscar Robertson and Jerry West for being the fourth player to set a record of an average better than 31 points, six (6) assists and seven (7) rebounds.
In 2004, he was selected to take part in the NBA All-Star Game. At the same year, he joined the USA Dream Team for the 2004 Olympics and brought home the bronze medal.
In a game with the Portland Trail blazers on January 19, 2005, he was declared as the youngest player to record a triple-double performance (27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists); the youngest player to have recorded 6000 career points; and the youngest player to nail 56 points in the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Toronto Raptors game on March 20, 2005.He was also part of the All-NBA 2nd Team in 2004-2005 and All-NBA Team in 2005-2006.
In 2006, he received the All-Star MVP award; the youngest player to ever get this award. That's another milestone for LeBron. Also this year, he led the Cavaliers to their first playoff appearance since 1998. He has also ranked a step behind Steve Nash for the 2006 MVP award. He took the bronze medal in September 2006 for the FIBA World Championship as part of the U.S. Team.
This year, he topped the final fan balloting earning more than two (2) million votes for 2007 All-Star Game. Lastly, he was recorded to be the youngest player in NBA history to top the All-Star voting.
The list is quite lengthy; and it is still counting.
