Just thought it was a good article proving he's 21. A lot of people in my area try to tell me all the time he's got to be older than 21 well he's not... :!:

i don't understand how the media is allowed to post that kind of personal stuff around. True, its info we can obtain all over the place on his birthdate and place. I guess LeBron gave them permission to post that but still why :?

LeBron James slips off his signature Nikes and yells, to no one in particular, "I need five bags of ice!"

Three chairs over, Dwyane Wade shoots LeBron a sly look and retorts: "That's because you're 30 years old!"

:lol: Thats a good one,I actualy laughed at that.
So what if he isn't 21,who cares.
Edit:Maybe he looks older because he works hard or he's under stress, alot of people who are stressed look older.

Some people age and grow differently than others

True, based on personal experience and from other persons I know.

People should just face the fact that Lebron is a freak of a physical specimen.
I'm was shocked to see then 18-year olds Curry and Diop weigh at 280-300 lbs. and still be able to play competitive sports.
Maybe Lebron unknowingly took the right time to train his body while it was developing which gave it an added boost, unlike Curry who probably had too much cheeseburgers or donuts.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

No, it doesn't mean he lied about his age, his date of birth has always been listed as December 30th, 1984. I'm pretty sure he couldn't have entered the 2002 Draft either as his class hadn't graduated yet; one of the requirements of high schoolers when they were still allowed to enter the Draft.

must be the offseason

lol this is the best the world wide leader in sports can come up with? was his age really in question?? it's not like the guy deflected from a place like Cuba or Dominican Republic.

If they can tell me how old Mutumbo is, I'd be interested, but this is stupid.

Who cares if he isnt 21? At least we've got somebody in the league who is as good as him.

You know the best thing about Lebron being 21? is that he's been on the league for 3 seasons already and if you think about it didn't MJ came to the league at 21???
