To be honest it’s crazy seeing Lebron dominate at this age as of now. What was the hype back then like in the early 2000s up until his draft in 03. I was born in 2000 lol. What are some thoughts or stories you guys had back then of Lebron coming up?

Unreal. Something else not mentioned, I remember being blown away that celebrities were going to high school gyms to watch a game.

One thing also not mentioned. There's a video of Bob Costas telling Lebron there's so much hype that if Lebron isn't a first ballot HOFer, then his career would be a disappointment.

Yet someone lived up to and exceeded the hype
