LeBron Raymone James

By Zane

Hello and welcome. I assume you're here to learn about LeBron RayMone James, but before we get started, you're probably wondering what we are going to learn about. Well, let me tell you what you're going to learn about. You're going to learn about his childhood, the sport he played, LeBron's fundraisers, and his basketball career, so let's get started.

First, we will talk about his childhood. LeBron James was born on December 30,1984, in Akron, Ohio. His mom gave birth to him at the age of 16. He was raised by his mother, Gloria. Lebron and his mother didn't always have enough money for an apartment or a place to live sometimes. Even though they worked very hard trying to get money. Lebron and his mom moved around a lot, so he often had change schools, and this made it very difficult for him to focus on school and make new friends. So instead, he kept quiet and stayed in the background. But when he was 8-9 years old, he moved in with a local youth football coach who also introduced LeBron to basketball.

Then LeBron started playing sports in fourth grade. One day, a youth football coach named Bruce Keller came to LeBron's neighborhood and he was looking for new players for his team. His team was the east dragons. I guess LeBron was perfect because he got in. He played football and he liked football until his coach introduced him to basketball in fifth grade. He later played amateur athletic union basketball for the northeast Ohio shooting stars. LeBron led the team and he liked it and, on the way, he made some friends they promised to attend high school together and they did.

Lebron has opened a lot of fundraisers, but his best fundraiser is the I promise school. It is a public elementary school in Akron, Ohio. He built it in 2018 and spent 41 billion dollars on it, and LeBron's family supports it and founded it. It is free and still open in 2026 to attend in Akron, Ohio.

Michael Jordan

  By: Wyatt

Michael Jeffery Jordan is an NBA God! He is 6 feet 6 inches tall and grew up in North Carolina. His nickname in high school was Magic, after another basketball great, Magic Johnson. But he had some bad times and some good times. Like he ate afood poisoned pizza, BAD TIMES! He won 2 gold medals in the Olympics for basketball, GOOD TIMES!  

He made a movie called “Space Jam” which had a combination of real actors and cartoons. He was the first athlete to earn 1 billion dollars. He retired to play baseball for the Chicago White Sox minor league team, because his dad died.  He came back, but on the Washington Wizards. 

He played 15 seasons in the NBA for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards. He made his own shoe called Air Jordan's.He was also on the 7 best players. He holds a world record for most points ever scored in the playoffs period with 5,987points. Jordan was named NBA’s most valuable player 5 times and is in the Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame since 2009.  He owns the Charlotte Hornets basketball team. 

He has a son that destroys teams, his child’s average is 41 points a game and his assists is 12 a game. When he was 10, he could shoot an NBA 3 pointer which is over 3 feet from the basket. He’s so good, that referees give him high fives. One-time his team had 104 points and the other team had 4 points. I would feel bad for that team. The team's jersey color is lime pink and black. 

The reason I choose Michael Jordan is because he plays basketball and I play basketball. He plays baseball and I play baseball. He was in Space jam and I like Space jam. Overall, I just like Michael Jordan so thanks for listening. And thanks for coming to the bistro. 

I got my research from my knowledge, Wikipedia, Google, and NBA. Oh, and also my Mom
