Over the last 20 years, NBA fans have heard James introduced hundreds of times. And whether he’s listed at 6-8 or 6-9, or he’s wearing No. 6 or No. 23, you can always count on the shout to St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

Understandably, James is synonymous with his alma mater, a small college preparatory Catholic high school in Akron, Ohio. After all, the school became a household name among basketball enthusiasts nationwide once James burst onto the scene in the early 2000s.

It’s one thing to acknowledge that James was a one-of-one phenomenon during his days at St. Vincent-St. Mary, but it’s another to use the numbers and accolades to put it in perspective.

Revisit James’ high school years by looking back through some of his stats and top highlights, all of which foreshadowed the player that he has become today.
