LeBron James' high school team upsets No. 1 Oak Hill Academy (2002) | ESPN Archive

Some dude was sitting in class knowing he had to guard lebron on national television

Imagine struggling in algebra 2 then having to face Lebron

🤔 The fact that LeBron James was the most hyped High School athlete in the history of the world is one thing,. the fact that he ACTUALLY EXCEEDED those expectations is a whole another thing all together! 😳🤯🤯

Just realised how good reporters were at their jobs back then. this commentary was absolutely gold

Imagine being 17 and being compared to MJ and Magic. And 20 years later the conversation is still going on.

13:38 vitale says "please surround yourself with people that care" 18 yrs later no arrests no bad publicity his close circle are all bosses and millionaires. bron is really that dude

I'm watching this immediately after he just broke Kareem's record. Absolute legendary moment in history as he will continue to blow minds across the world.

8:55 “There aren’t many guys in the NBA who make their teamates more efficient. I think he has that potential” WOW. Perfectly predicted

So LeBron been carrying teams since high school

"I'm not saying he's Magic" - 17 years later he's leading the league in assists playing PG for The Lakers.

I’m watching this after he had played on a injured foot in the playoffs and still dropped 40. WHAT A LEGEND

Watching this 20 years later in 2022 gives me chills. The commentators were great here; acknowledging the potential threats he could face as a young super star was especially insightful. 20 years later, he has stayed far away from all these troubles, and consistently stayed a great athlete. Consistently stayed a champion. Also, this video proves that a supportive family member helps you go a long, long way. Watching his mom cheering and jumping up and down just made my eyes watery. Incredible footage. What a role model. I hope all the best for LeBron James and his family.

It’s interesting how the commentators literally forecasted his entire career almost perfectly.

A random guy called Skip Bayless was watching this game and was like “… wow, I can build a whole career around this kid”

Even his interview skills at that age was praised. Bro is meant to be a superstar.

People don't really understand how good this man has been for so long 👑 🐐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

“If he’s half as good as all I’ve heard about him, he’s gonna he one special athlete”. Turns out he’s twice as good as everyone thought lol

Lebron was so dominant in high school dawg it's not even fair

Amazing that 21 years later, I get to see LeBron still playing today. Had a triple double this afternoon with 28, 11, and 17 assists at age 39. He keeps living up to those Magic comparisons. Respect to the king 👑

Been dominating for 20 years, lived up to all the hype. Fan of him or not, LeBron is just a once in a generation type of athlete. Appreciate him while he's still playing.
