LeBron James’ High School Jersey: A Piece of Basketball History
An Iconic Beginning
LeBron James, a name synonymous with basketball greatness, began his illustrious journey at St. Vincent – St. Mary High School in Ohio. During his high school years, he was named Ohio’s “Mr. Basketball” three times, a testament to his prodigious talent and potential. At just 18, he was selected as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers, marking the start of a legendary career.

A poignant American Flag ribbon patch adorns the upper left chest, worn in remembrance of 9/11, adding a layer of historical significance.
- Team Representation: Across the chest, the jersey proudly displays “IRISH,” symbolizing the Fighting Irish spirit.
- Number and Lettering: The iconic player number “23” appears on both the front and back, screen printed in green on white.
