  LeBron became famous in high school sports.

  he uses his hands. Many fans watch his right-handed

  sign autographs. This surprises a lot of people.
• 7:23

  right hand. This mix of handedness is
• 7:41
  unusual among NBA players. Now let's talk about his shoes
• 7:46
  and business partnerships. LeBron has had a signature shoe

  and families in his hometown. One of its biggest efforts
