Like every end of year period, it’s time to bring out the memories. And for the occasion, LeBron James rewarded his fans with a never-before-seen photo of him during one of his first Christmases. His gift at the time may have given rise to a vocation.

On December 30, LeBron James will celebrate his 39th birthday. Today he is the greatest active icon in the world of basketball, but if we go back more than thirty years, the King was just a little prince with a head full of dreams like any child. Coming from a single-parent family, LBJ’s past was not the easiest, however, as he often explained.

But obviously, he could at least boast of having a devoted mother who wanted to please her son. If basketball wasn’t yet a priority for him, Gloria might already have plans for the future. To celebrate this Christmas period, the King posted a story on Instagram in which he shows his wonderful gift received on his 3rd birthday.

The nice Christmas present for LeBron on his 3rd birthday

“Mom tried to lower the basket and I was going absolutely crazy!! Afterwards, she put it back to the maximum height! The chronicles of an only child! »
From a very young age, The Chosen One had to do things like the older ones. Was this a first initiation to the highest level on the part of his mother, or a simple way to please her son by offering him what he loves most? Because given the beautiful smile displayed by LeBron, it’s difficult to imagine him practicing another sport today. And for that, fans can thank the mother.

On the other hand, Father James has not been the most generous this year, with a defeat against the Celtics on December 25. He was also particularly discreet with 16 points, which is far from his standards of excellence, especially in big shocks. Fortunately his fans mainly focused on this beautiful photo.

LeBron James was surely predestined to become the legend of this sport that he is today. And this is perhaps thanks to his mother, who gave him a miniature basket when he was 3 years old. Prophetic act or not, this photo had the merit of bringing balm to the hearts of certain fans.
