According to LeBron James, “It didn’t make sense to me. For me growing up in Akron, Ohio, all the hardships that I had to go through, you look for inspiration. You look for any inspiration you can and usually people that’s playing professional sports or people in the music industry is the ones that gave you that inspiration to make you believe you can be anything you want. So I had Ken Griffey Jr. and Deion Sanders, and a lot of other musicians.”
He further stated, “But Michael Jordan was kind of like that god. He was that angel sent from heaven that I kind of used him to help me get through some of the darkest days that I had. … There’s a lot of dark days when you grow up the way I grew up and you’re part of a single-parent household.”
In conclusion, James added “When you’re a 9-year-old kid and you need inspiration from someone, they become your father, which I needed, they become your brother, they become your teammate, they become your pastor, they become your superhero. It’s like Batman and Michael Jordan for me when I was growing up. Those were the two best superheroes in the world.”
