Born to a single mother, James was raised by her and a succession of her boyfriends, many of whom had criminal records. The identity of James's father has always been a mystery; the Akron Beacon Journal has reported that he is dead. A neighborhood couple befriended the boy and taught him basketball, for which he almost immediately showed a gift. Today James, who stands 6 feet 8? inches (2.05 m) and weighs 255 pounds (and an astonishing 245 lbs when he was drafted first overall in the 2003 NBA Draft as an eighteen year old out of high school), is one of the most versatile players in the NBA. Although he primarily plays the small forward position, he is capable of playing point guard and shooting guard as well. His incredible court vision, passing skills and willingness to share the ball has led many to compare him with the great Magic Johnson. However, his athleticism and scoring ability have been compared to Michael Jordan. Despite his young career, his combination of size, strength, talent, and athleticism have many people predicting him to become the greatest player of all time.
