LeBron James’ Game-Worn “Zoom LeBron VI” Shoes: A Piece of Basketball History
An Iconic Performance
In the annals of basketball history, few players have left as indelible a mark as LeBron James. During the 2008-09 NBA season, James was named the regular season MVP, a testament to his extraordinary talent and leadership on the court. Averaging an impressive 28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game, he solidified his status as one of the game’s greats. On March 15, 2009, in a thrilling 98-93 victory over the New York Knicks, James donned this pair of size “16” “Zoom LeBron VI” promo sample shoes, recording a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
