LeBron James didn't go the traditional agent route in his NBA career, and he recently explained his decision and how it worked out for him.
At 16 years of age, LeBron James was already one of the most popular athletes in the United States. It's like everyone at that time knew he was destined for greatness.
Coming into the NBA with that type of hype, James needed to ensure he made all the right decisions so he could make the most of his gifts. However, he made a decision that surprised many.
From the beginning, James skipped getting a traditional agent, and instead involved his closest friends to represent him. This paid off massively for him, and he recently explained his thought process.
