LeBron James’ 2004-2005 Game-Worn Cavaliers Jersey: A Piece of NBA History
An Iconic Rookie Season
LeBron James, a name synonymous with basketball greatness, began his illustrious career with the Cleveland Cavaliers as the first pick in the 2003 NBA Draft. During his rookie season, James made history by becoming the youngest player to score 40 points in a game, averaging 20.9 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game. His remarkable performance earned him the Rookie of the Year award, making him the first Cavalier and the youngest player in NBA history to receive this honor. He joined the ranks of Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan as one of the only three players to average at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in their rookie season.
