NBA superstar LeBron James was a freak of nature. As a teenager, James became a national sensation thanks to his mind-boggling athleticism and skill set. The Chosen One was compared to Michael Jordan when he was still in high school because of his athletic prowess. He was also compared to Magic Johnson because of his passing ability.
