The I Promise School is LeBron James’ greatest career achievement

You’re not supposed to do what LeBron James has done in his life.

The neighborhoods he grew up in, the amount of school he missed, the crime rates. He wasn’t supposed to make it.

He put it best after winning the 2013 Finals: “I’m LeBron James from Akron, Ohio. I’m not even supposed to be here.”

In that series, he would average 25.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game en route to the Miami Heat’s second straight championship and, of course, his second Finals MVP award.

But that’s what makes it more incredible for The King: none of this was supposed to happen but all of it did.
