Before becoming a billionaire basketball player, LeBron James had a humble beginning. The Los Angeles Lakers superstar struggled to find a stable home during his childhood. It was King James’ first ever basketball coach who sheltered him during his struggling phase. Years later, the basketball coach’s son hysterically called out the Akron Hammer for lying on Instagram forcing a retaliation from The Chosen One.

The 4x NBA Champion has never forgotten to express his gratitude for the much-needed help he received in his childhood. He once said, “I’ll never forget what the Walkers did for me, especially Frank.” Frank Walker not only provided shelter to James, but also introduced him into the world of basketball and gave him lifelong brother, Frankie Walker Sr.
