Lebron James had nothing less than a completely stunning high school career. He became the most famous high school athlete, perhaps of all time. He was even referred to as "The Chosen One." The magazine cover in my previous post said that when Lebron was a junior, he could've been an NBA lottery pick. So at the end of his senior year...would he be the number one overall pick? The answer was yes. Everyone was wondering "which team would acquire the 'Chosen One'?" That was soon to be determined by the NBA draft lottery. The NBA draft lottery determines the order of the first few picks in the NBA draft between the worst teams the previous season. The worse you finished, the greater odds you had at drawing the number one pick. With a bit of luck, the number one overall pick was aquired by the Cleveland Caveliers...Lebron got to stay in Ohio. Instantly, Lebron signed huge deals with Nike and other athletic sponsors. His endorsements with Nike easily equaled 90 million dollars total. His future was sure to be a bright one.
