King James overview
Good summary of James so far but no personal depth or opinion. It's all based on secondary sources.Good for the basic and that's it. Easy read

King James is an even better player than you thought!
This Lebron James biography is fantastic! It has so much content! We get an in-depth look into Lebron’s high school career, his early years in the NBA with Cleveland, his developing years playing in Miami, and his triumphant return to Cleveland. This book doesn’t just act as a biography though. It also guides us through Lebron’s work ethic by giving in-depth looks at the training exercises he uses in the gym and on the basketball court. King James isn’t one of the greatest players of all time just because of his basketball talent, he is also one of the smartest basketball players of all time. He is a genius when it comes to leadership and basketball strategy; I appreciated how this book also investigated those aspects of his legacy.I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys basketball because Lebron James is one of the reasons basketball is great. This book acts as a biography, philosophical guide, and training manual and is a must-buy for any King James admirer.

King James: the Idea Behind the Legend
What sets this LeBron James biography apart is the accent author Steve James puts on the ideas and the philosophies that shape the personality of King James. After turning the last page the reader finds out that it is not the super performances, matches won, records broken that are important, but what is essential is the thinking, the attitude and the decisions that eventually produce the moments of greatness.Author Steve calls King James the “Best player of today and all time” despite writing the biography of Michael Jordan earlier. He goes on to add, “LeBron James surely is someone that comes around once in a generation.” It is LeBron’s insightful cognitive processes and the ability to fight odds both in life and on field that are the hallmarks of his greatness.The book provides rare insight into how the mind of a genius works, his goals, qualities of perseverance, idiosyncrasies, attitude towards failure and sources of motivation. The author takes us much beyond the 28x15 size of the basketball field to the vast space of human mind which encompasses a limitless arena of learning and changing. The basketball court arouses emotion, conflicts, struggle, disappointment but only great players like LeBron James find the layers and layers of meaning within that small space. The book talks of a personality that grows making changes— not just high-points of the career of a legend.The most interesting chapters to me are the ones that recount his motivations and the little known facts of his life. I’ve felt truly inspired to apply some principles of James to refine my own rough edges too. Some of the sayings from the biography I will always treasure in my life:• Not winning means unfinished business,• Fear of failure to motivate not to inhibit,• Play every game like it’s your last• Take pride in your family.LeBron James biography is a truly inspiring story for every reader to benefit from. I highly recommend this book!
