So ive been intrigued about this for a while. Who is your Favorite sports person and why?
What defines an all time great? Should that be world wide wins, personal accolades or just because you like what the individual stands for?
Mine would have to be LeBron James. I am an avid fan of Basketball and have been to watch live games in the UK and the US and watch around 3-4 games a week with their On Demand service.
He comes from a poor background and was raised by a single mother and Basketball got him through, he was a phenom from aged 17 when he was playing high school basketball and signed a multi million dollar deal with Nike @ aged 18. He has won 2 championships, 4 most valuable player awards and is regarded as one of the greatest to ever grace the hardwood.
He comes across as a very humble character and never takes the plaudits personally always deferring to his team mates. He has taken a lot of flack for leaving his home town club to pursue a championship and faced a lot of adversity in his career, His game has been scrutinized and analysed since he was 17 years old and has always let it speak for itself and the accolades that he has gathered speak for themselves also!
