LeBron James has had his fair share of secrets, life-altering addictions, weird connections to NBA stars, and he was even forced to work a nine to five. These are the 21 things you definitely didn't know about LeBron James. And for number 21, there's no way you knew that LeBron James almost ceased to exist. Yeah, during the 2006 season, LeBron carried the Cavs on his back, and as a reward, he was voted into the All-Star Game. And that's when things started to look dark.

I had always complained about our team playing. It was old, it was run down, but I always felt like something could actually happen to this plane.

After takeoff, everything looked fine, but halfway through the flight, something happened. Lights started flickering, panic started to arise, and when everyone saw the smoke, they knew shit is going sideways.

When I tell you every single body on the plane from Detroit to Houston thought they were going to die, we looked into the kitchen at one point in the flight, and there was smoke coming out of the kitchen.

But the pilot somehow managed to save everyone's life, and the plane landed safely. Shit, that could have been LeBron's last day, and that's probably why he got number 20, because there ain't no way you knew just how sick LeBron James' deal with Nike is. Because not only did my guy secure a lifetime deal with him, putting him in the same category as Michael Jordan and Cristiano Ronaldo, but his deal with Nike is rumored to be worth $1 billion.
Yes, with a B. But I mean, if this anyone worth it, it's LeBron James, because I bet you had no idea about number 19 on our list. LeBron James has one of the craziest records in NBA history. This dude has the longest streak in the regular season with a double-digit score. Right now, LeBron has a streak of 1,096 games with double-digit scores. Yes, 1,096 games. But I mean, LeBron James is a different breed, because you probably had no idea about number 18
LeBron shoots with his right hand, but he's actually left-handed. Sheesh, that's hella impressive. But not as impressive as number 17, because during the 2020 bubble season, LeBron and the Lakers went on to win the championship, and Brown was awarded finals MVP. That means he's the only player to win the finals MVP with three different teams. But that ain't the craziest thing LeBron has done for the NBA, because at number 16, very few people know that he saved another NBA player's life. See, during vacation, Brown, Mello, Wade, and CP3 decided to go on a banana boat trip, and when they returned to the boat, Mello was nowhere to be seen. The strong currents from the ocean were pulling Mello away, and things started to look bad for him. But Brown didn't hesitate for a second, and instead jumped in the water and saved his friend's life.

When he went and saved Mello's life.

**LeBron James** (2:44)
Nah, he saved my life.

**LeBron James** (2:45)
I can't hold you. He saved my life. He saved my life.

**LeBron James** (2:47)
He saved my life.

That shit's crazy. But I mean, we all know LeBron is always helping people who are in need. Because for number 15, I doubt you knew how much Brown was helping his hometown Akron. I mean, not only has he helped open up schools, but he's also donated $20 million to create three residential buildings with sports complexes. And he also contributes $1 million per year to manage teacher salaries and class sizes. LeBron really helps everyone. But there's one thing he can help himself with, which takes us to number 14 Because I bet you didn't know LeBron James has an addiction that he just can't stop. See, it turns out LeBron James literally drinks every damn night. Yeah, that's right. This dude has at least a glass of wine or a shot of tequila every night. But it turns out LeBron loves tequila so much that in 2020, he invested in an Italian tequila brand. And just two years later, he made Draymond Green and Anthony Davis do the same. But this ain't his first investment. Because for number 13, we all know the love LeBron has for all types of sports. But did you know he brought 2% of a soccer club? See, back in 2011, he decided to invest $6.5 million into one of the biggest soccer teams in England, Liverpool. Now, after some investigating, we managed to find out that the $6.5 million LeBron had invested is today worth 100 million. Yeah, you heard that right. This dude made $93.5 million in 11 years. Now, for number 12, you probably knew how hyped up LeBron was in high school. But you probably didn't know he was so hyped that ESPN decided to air the first ever high school game on national TV. And what's even crazier is that young LeBron dropped 31 points in that game. He was really the chosen one.
