NBA All-Rookie First Team(2004)
2× NBA All-Star Game MVP(2006, 2008)

However,one constant gripe about him,is that he has no low-post moves,and his shooting is not good for a superstar like him.He's changed.Check this out.

To start off,we will see how amazing his shooting has become.



Sinking 6 three-pointers in a row...

And the reason why he is a NBA Superstar now:his fast,powerful dunks.You can HEAR the sound of the basketball smashing through the net...



And his fellow NBA mates telling us how good LeBron James is at dunking.

He has the passing eye of Oscar Robertson,the dunking power of Vince Carter,the shooting of Michael Jordan,the leaping ability of Nate Robinson...the list goes on.And it shows.

He's the kind of player that you must idolise.The moment LeBron walk in a stadium,you hear fanatic screams of:

LEBRON!LEEEBRON!!!LAAAA-BRON!!!!

He's charismatic,and he's good.His drives to the lanes are fast.The moment his engine is ignited...there's no stopping him.

His dunks are powerful enough to make your ears ring.

He has the speed of sound.For a man with that kind of muscles,he shouldn't be able to drive to the basket so fast.But he does it anyway.

His free-throw percentage is a decent 78.0%,which is a lot better than other small forwards.

He's the only non-guard to average just over a block per game.

He's regarded as a Legend.Not many people can be that.

The only bad thing about him is his low-post moves.No,no.He doesn't even HAVE low-post moves.That's his only major gripe. (Low post - an imaginary area outside either side of the foul lane close to the basket.)

That can be the only black spot on his clean,white illustrious sheet of his basketball career.But...does he need them?The speed at which he breezes past his opponent...he never stops at the low post.But when he gets older (slower),he may need them.As such...he better practise.

AND he's still 25 years old.That's young.He has potential to grow even more.He can even be better than Michael Jordan.Ouch.
