Wow Lebron James Breaks a Record - One of the Greatest Basketball Players of the NBA went to Catholic School and Gives Glory to God!
To the surprise of some who have questioned his faith, James’ response:
“I hope we don’t think that way. It’s never that way,” he said. “When you get your guys back, you prepare just as you prepare before. There’s only one guy ever in the world that everything will be all right when He comes back and that’s Jesus Christ. Other than that, you can’t bank on nobody being OK.”
James was born and raised in Akron, Ohio and first gained national attention playing for St. Vincent-St. Mary Catholic High School, from which he was immediately drafted into the NBA upon graduation. At home and at school, he had Christian influences that appear to have made a lasting impression.
He’s made public appearances in church and attended church charity basketball games near Cleveland.
In 2010, James watched as fellow-player Rodney Stuckey suffered a seizure on the court and was taken to Cleveland Clinic Hospital. James responded by calling the players together into a prayer circle, where he prayed to “our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” for healing, he told reporters afterward.
While some fans would like to attribute God-like status to his abilities, James is quick to deflect such comparisons. “I’m nowhere near close (to God’s powers),” he said.
He once said his abilities as an athlete are from, “the grace of God above; He gave me this athleticism.”
