LeBron James has won his fourth ring after appearing in the NBA Finals for the 10th time in his career. The 35-year-old has spent 17 years in the league and is yet to slow down.
Before LBJ joined the NBA, he was no different than any other kid. He was raised by his mother in his father’s absence. But these adversities served to make him stronger, and today he has become an NBA champion for the fourth time.
After the celebrations, James called his mother and thanked her for always being with him.
