LeBron James had the weight of the world on his shoulders while being a mere junior in high school. Dubbed as ‘The Chosen One’, the future Hall-of-Famer didn’t shy away from the media attention as he went on to embrace it, getting that moniker tattooed on himself and subsequently fulfilling the ‘prophecy’ that was laid out in front of him. 

At the beginning of his journey however, James surrounded himself with people who he could trust. The most important of them all was Savannah Brinson, his high school sweetheart. The two met each other through a mutual friend clicked after James asked her out on a date following a get-together with friends.
