LeBron James grew up in Ohio and ended up playing for Ohio’s professional basketball team and won them their first championship. I can’t think of a better example. I know he’s on the Lakers now but he will always be a legend/hero there.
LeBron James Junior grew up in Los Angeles and ended up playing for Los Angeles’s professional basketball team and won them this year’s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III” tournament at Encore. I can’t think of a better example. I know he’s on the Lakers now and he will always be a legend/hero there.
