LeBron James on Becoming the Face of the NBA

Love him or hate him, there’s no denying LeBron James – known as King James to fans the world over – has become the most dominating force in the game. From a small kid growing up in Akron, Ohio, to becoming the face of the NBA, James’s journey to the top is an intriguing one; a life that so many would envy seemed destined and fated from the start. As a man whose energy seemingly knows no bounds, James has managed to shape quite the glorified career, raking in two Olympic gold medals, three NBA Championships and numerous MVP accolades.

During the last stop of his “Strive for Greatness” Tour 2017 alongside Nike, James managed to drop down into the bustling city streets of Hong Kong to play ball with the local diehard fans. The basketball superstar also took the time to appear at the Rise Academy Challenge to show off his skills to the star struck crowd and share some inspiration to the city’s aspiring young players.

Following the event, HYPEBEAST had the opportunity to sit down with James for an exclusive one-on-one interview to discuss the difficulties in his life and how he overcame them, his most memorable career moments and what drives him. Check out the full interview over at our site.
