The incredible reason that unites James LeBron and Diego Maradona

All stories have a beginning, and one of the most remarkable careers in the history of the sport began 18 years ago: on October 29, 2003, LeBron James made his debut in the Cleveland Cavaliers jersey in the 106-92 loss to the Sacramento Kings. which marked the beginning of an illustrious journey in the NBA.

James scored 25 points, dished out 9 assists and grabbed 6 rebounds that day, where he gave a small taste of the incredible talent for someone of such a young age. LeBron decided not to attend any university and to appear in the Draft after finishing High School, which did not stop him from being the first overall selection that year, as it had happened with Kobe Bryant in 1996.

October 29 should be a holiday. At least, sports holiday. It is that beyond celebrating a new anniversary since James LeBron's foray into sport, today Diego Armando Maradona would be turning 61. Without a doubt, the sky is celebreating today.
