How Old Was LeBron When He Was First On The Cover Of Sports Illustrated?
The prodigy drove a borrowed car to St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. “He was down to do whatever,” LeBrecht said. They started in the locker room, just LeBron, LeBrecht and one photo assistant. LeBron posed on a desk. Sitting in front of a locker. Then more poses after practice. On the court. Soaring to the rim. LeBrecht remembers his subject as “easy to instruct. It was a long shoot … Whatever I asked, he felt comfortable and did it. It’s always real cool when a subject is down to trust you and do certain things.”
The magic moment happened in front of a black backdrop, with one strip light high, and one low, LeBrecht peering through his Mamiya RZ67 Pro II. LeBron held a pale yellowish-green basketball LeBrecht brought “because I thought it stood out more than a regular ball.”
LeBron’s facial expression looks as if he was simultaneously excited to gaze out at America and amazed by his unwritten future. “That was me trying to draw some character,” said LeBrecht, now a veteran of dozens of SI covers. “Everyone was always all hard, tough, serious. Or happy. I wanted an expression to come from it.”
When Is LeBron James's Birthday?
In What Grade Did LeBron First Dunk A Basketball?
The way LeBron occultized "the dunk" invited the question: When did he first dunk a basketball?
His response was as reflexive as it would've been had you asked him his birthday.
"Eighth grade," he said.
"Do you remember the time?"
"Absolutely."
After a pregnant pause, James asked, "You want the story?"
James then looked at his watch, for effect as much as the time. He and Wade had spent 12 and a half minutes behind the microphone. With an 8:00 p.m. start in Miami, deadlines for most of the print reporters had long since expired.
"Ah, okay."
There's a collective laughter from the room.
"It was a middle school game. It was teachers versus students, and I got a fast break on the teachers."
Wade couldn't contain his laughter.
"This isn't funny. This is serious, man! I went to Riedinger Middle School in Akron, Ohio! I got a fast break and this was the first time I ever even tried it. I said, 'I'm going for it.' When you first start dunking, you go to the very -- "
James gestured with his hand, reaching out to an imaginary goal. Illustrating something as bio-mechanical as a dunk with words is difficult, so Wade jumped in.
"All the way to the corner," Wade said.
"All the way to the corner! The side of the rim. That's, like, the easiest one to get when you first start dunking."
After all the descriptive flourishes, LeBron's voice drops a level and his tone becomes more earnest. He seems surprised by how much sentimentality the story evokes for him. Wade has stopped chuckling.
"It was definitely ... It was an unbelievable moment for myself when I realized I could dunk."
Did the teachers fail him?
"Nah, they knew better."

Which NBA Player Was Born In The Same Hospital As LeBron?
There's something in the water in Akron, Ohio.
LeBron James wasn't the only NBA MVP born there. Stephen Curry was too.
And not only were the two born in the same city (which is a remarkable enough coincidence), but they were also born in the same hospital—Akron General Medical Center, to be exact.
While James' ties to Ohio are well-known, Curry has always claimed Charlotte, North Carolina, as his hometown. It is, after all, where his father played 10 seasons with the Charlotte Hornets.
But before joining the Hornets in 1988, Dell Curry played the 1987-88 season for the Cleveland Cavaliers—during which time he and his wife, Sonya, gave birth to a future NBA giant.
However, Curry's ties to Charlotte still trump Akron.
"I'm from Akron but Charlotte raised," he told reporters Thursday.
But if you ask LeBron, Curry's birthplace has everything to do with his success.
When asked in 2012 if the reason Curry could make other athletes play at a higher level was because he was born in Akron, James said, "That's already self-explanatory."
