Witness Promise.<\/p>\n
In honor The I Promise School in Akron and its continued growth, today\u2019s Snkrs Day\u2019 Throwback Thursday<\/strong> pays tribute to arguably the most important athlete of the current generation, an athlete whose stature has transcended the game of basketball: The King, The Chosen One, LeBron James<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
LeBron entered the League in 2003 and took the NBA and world by storm, making an immediate impact on both hardcore and casual basketball fans alike by virtue of his athleticism, charisma, marketability, and personality.<\/p>\n
The hype surrounding his NBA debut at Arco Arena against the Sacramento Kings was fully justified as the entire basketball world had been put on notice about a certain 6 foot-8-inch athletic phenom from the 330 who had finally arrived on the world\u2019s biggest basketball stage. While James and the Cavs filled with young and up-and-coming players like DaJuan Wagner, Darius Miles, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Ricky Davis, and Carlos Boozer initially suffered through early growing pains en route to a 35-win rookie season, the stage for future greatness was set.<\/p>\n
