Whether you know him as King James or The Chosen One, LeBron James is one of the most famous N.B.A. players of all time. His nicknames, acquired early during his high school career, spoke of future greatness. James entered the N.B.A. at 18 years old with the Cleveland Cavaliers, launching a career that would see James excel. The first major upset came when James began to make career changes as a free agent. He lost a large number of fans, but the manner in which he addressed his choices made him who he is today: one of the best basketball players in the nation. Readers follow James's journey from the Cavaliers to the Miami Heat to the Lakers, and will examine the reporting of his career with the help of media literacy terms and questions.
