The Rise Of A Star

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be the greatest basketball player of all time? In the story called “The Rise Of A Star” by David Lee Morgan, LeBron James can feel that way. This book is based on LeBron James one of the greatest players to ever step on the basketball court, in many people’s opinions the best. He was just a poor little ghetto kid that had nothing until June 26, of 2003.
Can you imagine what it would be like to have to move almost 7 times a year? That’s how it was for LeBron James. He had to move a lot due to money problems and shelter. LeBron James had a very scary and hard childhood. One good thing that happened for him is he met three guys and those four guys all together were so close that they called each other the “Fab 4.” They were so close that nothing would ever tear them down or bring them apart. Later another guy moved to their town and they let him become part of their gang so they called themselves the “Fab 5.” Which was also the starting 5 of their varsity basketball line up. All of the “Fab 5” were so close they were like family. Nothing will ever tear their friendship apart.
Currently today they all stay in contact and they all talk to each other. LeBron moved on straight to the NBA from high school, Sion Cotton went to college, Willie McGee went and played football at Ohio State, and Romeo Travis and Dru Joyce attended the University of Akron and now currently play on a European league team together. These 5 guys are individuals are all men that all kids can look up to. They grow up with just about nothing and now are successful and they are known to be one of the greatest starting 5 in high school basketball history.
Talking about history, LeBron in many people’s opinions is the greatest player ever to play basketball. There is stuff that he can do that no other player ever could, or ever will be able to do. The cool thing is, he is young, and strong, and smart so he easily dominates the league and everyone in it. Not only is he a great player, but also a great man. He is always going back to his home town to help kids and families so they don’t have to go through what he had to. He is always going to charities and donating moneys to help all kinds of causes of America. The world will never be perfect but specific individuals like LeBron is willing to help to try and make it a better place.
In conclusion this book was great! It was a great story and would give everyone incredible entertainment and a great story for them to read about. They can realize why LeBron is the person he is today, because what he had to go through. It seems like the people who grow up living a hard life are nicer in the future and the people who grow up living a nice life are selfish and not as nice. Wouldn’t you think it would be the other way around? Like for instance Michael Oher, he grew up in a terrible area and had no family. He is one of the nicest athletes today, and will always treat people good because he knows what life should be like, nice, and not terrible like him or LeBron had to go through.
