Rezensionen

'Masterful . . . Propulsive . . . This is a fast break of a book, slicing into the many mini-narratives that James has lived and artfully tying them together to create a portrait of a man who has, by his own design, remained an enigma except to those he decides to trust. Benedict has constructed a sort of sports opera fueled by the drama and emotion surrounding his subject, but never sensationalistic or unfair. . . Benedict's greatest feat here might be the way he cuts through both the public hysteria surrounding James and the superstar's own protective field to paint a portrait of a man in full. . . . LeBron isn't just great sportswriting, it's also vivid narrative journalism' Los Angeles Times
