When lebron was 9 years old, he often went to play on the youth team under a football team in southern Akan.

When lebron was 12 years old, lebron injured his left hand in a game. So his football career is over.

Later, lebron said he played football just to get out of poverty.

Even before that, lebron loved basketball. Walker found lebron and his mother wandering around during a home visit, and it was Walker who convinced Glia to take lebron to his house.

Lebron later said, "I love the Walkers, because without them, I would never be where I am today."

Leblanc joined St. Vincent's in Akron. He started the Santa Maria High School basketball team in his first year.

The team went 27-0 and won the state championship in the final, where lebron scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. For the season, he averaged 18 points and 6 rebounds per game.

He won MVP honors in the McDonald's All-American High School All-Star Game, the American High School Roundball Classic, and the Jordan High School Charity Game.
