Overall, Lebron's high school experience was one that would be valued forever. He developed the closest bond with his teammates, and his coach, Keith Dambrot, who now coaches the Zips of the University of Akron. Lebron was quoted in the book saying "I enjoyed the experience so much. I loved playing in big games and putting on a show for the crowd." Well, putting on a show is exactly what he did. Lebron would fill up the gym for all of the home games, and little kids would show up with "King James" signs and yelling his name. Lebron was well aware of the dangers with being such a sought-after recruit. He had to constantly remind himself not to accept any favors from recruitors or coaches, or the NBA for that matter. Lebron was put in a tough spot because he was the most famous high school basketball player in the nation and he had to follow the rules that everyone else had to. One of his most upsetting memories was losing to Cincinnati's St. Bernard Roger Bacon High School in the state championship.
