Michelle and Barack Obama, Lebron James' dunk
During team USA’s final exhibition game on home soil before heading for the Olympics in 2012, NBA superstar LeBron James awed Barack Obama and Michelle Obama with a tremendous slam. The President of the United States, the First Lady, and Vice President Joe Biden then witnessed the American victory over the Brazilians in Washington.
For over 20 years, the face of the Los Angeles Lakers has dominated the NBA, and he has no intention of slowing down. LeBron James’ 19th NBA season came to an end when the Lakers ended 33-49 and failed to qualify for the Play-In tournament. He missed the opportunity to win the scoring championship because he didn’t play enough games to have his 30.3 points per game even be ranked. James spent four seasons with the LA Lakers, winning one title, losing twice in the first round, and missing two NBA Playoffs. He has missed several games in three of those four seasons due to injury, which has harmed the team’s consistency.

Is Lebron James the soon to be GOAT?
LeBron James stands out as an illustration of a player who has enjoyed remarkable success for more than 20 years and is vying for the honor of becoming the best NBA player of all time. He has won four overall MVP honors, four MVP awards in the Finals, and four NBA championships. The two-time Olympic champion averaged 25 points or more per game for 17 straight NBA seasons. James, who has participated in 18 of them and is the All-Star Game’s all-time top scorer, is an NBA record-tying three-time All-Star MVP. James ranks second all-time in scoring, only behind Kareem Abdul Jabbar, with 37062 points. Only Russell Westbrook has more triple-doubles among current players than he does.
James, who is also a philanthropist, partnered with Akron Public Schools and the LeBron James Family Foundation to establish the “I Promise School” in an effort to reduce the achievement gap in education in his Ohio hometown of Akron. Children in the programme who would not be on pace to graduate from high school are given resources and support. When the University of Akron joined the programme, James indicated in 2015 that students from Kent State University who met specific academic qualifications would receive free tuition there. Lebron, who has a $1 billion lifetime contract with Nike, is the second-richest athlete in the world, per a recent survey behind his idol Michael Jordan.
Michelle and Barack Obama reacts to Lebron’s tomahawk
King James looked very impressive when former US President Barack Obama stopped by during an exhibition game between Brazil and Team USA in 2012. He drove into the Brazil paint and got up for a thunderous dunk that rocked the entire stadium. Bron ascended so high that his head was nearly parallel to the rim and I t became more colder when he acted carelessly following the day’s play. The audience was certainly in awe of Lebron’s vertical as the play stunned Obama, Michelle, and current president Joe Biden. James scored 30 points as the United States defeated Brazil 80-69 after falling behind by 10 points early on.
In 2020, LeBron James and other black sportsmen and stars created More Than A Vote, determined to fight against black voter persecution and encourage them to vote. Barack Obama and Michele collaborated on a voting drive as the US presidential election draws near. Everyone liked the exhibition game, and they all rejoiced even more the following month when Team USA won the Olympic gold medal in 2012.
