I don't know anything about this guy, but I think people have forgotten how good LeBron was coming out of High School.

And he does not dribble in one spot while the rest of his team watches nearly enough.

Oh damn. I just saw exile has the same sig as me.

I'm starting a revolution. Jump on while you can, i.e. before all the GSW fans do it and it doesn't become cool anymore.

Marcus Jordan is already doing 360 dunks and hitting game-winners, I think MJ's youngest son is the next LeBron!

The kid's only a junior. Lebron made the cover of SI in spring of his junior year. And this kid does have great court vision. There would be more assists on the film, but his teammates didnt convert the shot. Kid averages 7apg. 24ppg, 13rpg. Seriously, no he's not Lebron, but he's darn good and even MJ wasnt MJ as junior. He didnt even make varsity until his junior season of high school. This kid has some serious tools though.

He looks like a nice player but seriously, that highlight real doesn't even hold a candle to LeBron as a freshman in High School. At 13 years old, LeBron did things that some NBA players can't do. He was so unbelievably gifted, made the game look so easy and made his teammates look like All-Americans. After I watched him for the first time his 9th grade year, I got on PrepStars.com and told the everybody that I just watched the future face of the NBA.

His teammates were All-Americans. Romeo Travis went on to be MVC player of the year and Dru Joyce played D1 basketball and was a starter.

For those who haven't seen McLemore play, he claims that he attempts to model his game after Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. "I'm a very athletic, skillful, and hardworking guard who plays every game like it's my last," said McLemore.

McLemore has started off his sophomore season averaging 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 steals. It appears that he is focused and ready to prove his ability. McLemore will look to lead his Wellston Trojans to a late playoff run next March. "This season will be a success if we can come together defensively as a team and play every game like it's our last," said the confident guard. "Playing in Wellston, people have high expectations every year. We compete for a state title each year. I want to be a state champion!"


LOL great quotage!

Good find from his sophomore year. Now a junior he's averaging 24ppg, 13rpg, and 7apg. He's the Missouri version of Lebron. It appears to be Lebron's time as Kobe will soon be out the door. All the kids want to be like Lebron now.

^Yep and LeBron isn't injury prone at all (and has the option of playing PF in his final years), so his owning of the world could a lot longer than anyone before him!

His teammates weren't All-Americans. Travis turned into a nice player but he was very raw his first few years of high school. As for Dru Joyce, he was waaaay overrated. There were so many players in the area who were way better that didn't get to play D1 ball. He was gift wrapped that deal because of LeBron and because Dambrot got the coaching job.

Strong words. Kid's a high school junior. Oh and someone just posted a 2nd video of him dunking over his younger brother, who is a high school teammate.
