LeBron James was a star prior to ever hitting the NBA hard court, with ESPN & other networks picking up on many of his high school games, something that is seldom seen even with today’s top targets & the increased media exposure they face. This rare offering dates from LeBron's "breakout" season of 2002 where he would gain national recognition. This original 8" x 11" original 2001-02 St. Vincent St. Mary's Program features the schools local stars, along with now super star LeBron James as a member of the varsity basketball team, a team that was happy to have his presence. Signed on the inside feature page with a boyish "L.B.J 23" autograph next to his modest stats, numbers he would laugh at today. Easily the earliest signed LeBron James item we have seen! Take notice before he breaks nearly ever record written in the NBA! Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear. Authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services/Steve Grad with a full letter of authenticity.
