He never knew his scientific dad, who was respected to be a exceptional street-basketball player, and continues to be quiet about him to this day.

Always will be," James told Jack McCallum of Sports Illustrated. James's loyalty is declared to the world with the huge tattoo on his arm: it reads "Gloria." From a young age, he revealed a natural ability for basketball. James was sponsored by St. Vincent-St. Mary High School to join their basketball team in 1999.
