LeBron James “More Than a Game” Community Day
On Sunday September 20 2009, my school granted me an invitation to LeBron James “More Than a Game” Community Day at Basketball City (Pier 36). Being there was a dream come true for any true fan that admires LeBron “King” James. Without question, the event was well thought out and very successful. From live performances to the pick-up games, everything was a huge success and I was extremely thankful that I was able to attend this event for free. Seeing LeBron James made me very cheerful, considering that he is such an influential leader. His background makes his life and accomplishments all the more since he went through many early struggles in life. Not only is LeBron the best basketball player in the game, but he is also a business man, that will forever be a positive influence in my life and many other people globally.
Every part of the event was appealing but LeBron’s entrance on the stage was the culminating moment. As previously mentioned, it was a dream come true, since LeBron is my favorite basketball player and it was a personal goal for me to meet him face to face. What really made this my best part was my position standing front and center. When “King” James took, his seat it signified the most jovial moment in my memory. Furthermore, the modest and professional attitude of James made me enjoy the event more. The fact that LeBron’s friends indicated that success has not altered his personality demonstrated the qualities of a leader and true friend. Additionally, no part of the event disappointed me, the two-hour wait for LeBron turned out to be worth it. I never thought I would ever get that close to LeBron; as a result, I was very blissful.
LeBron James is a very advanced and perceptive basketball player, but that is not the only exceptional part of him. His life is “More Than a Game” of basketball. The aforementioned excerpt means that LeBron playing basketball at a high level is not the only part of his life. His struggles and everyday problems before fame were also included. “King” James’ life went beyond being a dominant player he saw conflicts just as any other person would. My best prediction is the movie, “More Than a Game,” will give the world a perfect understanding of LeBron’s life behind the basketball court and we can see why it is not only a game.
Ever since the “More Than a Game” event, I have decided what I want for the future and I am very thankful. The day was well planned and I was left with an abundance of joy, since I had the opportunity to meet my idol and the NBA’s MVP. In the future, I will remember this event forever; it was the best moments of my life and the best event that I have ever been to. Thankfully “we are all witnesses,” to the achievements of LeBron “King” James.
