LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes, if not the greatest. The Los Angeles Lakers star didn’t have a silver spoon to move his way up in life. Today he is known as “King James”, in the world of basketball and generally. It is a nickname that signifies his dominance in the league and as a person. Unfortunately, James only had a single parent throughout his life, his mother, Gloria Marie James.

Gloria was just 16 years of age and gave birth to LeBron on 30th December 1984, barely out of high school. However, it is believed that LeBron’s biological father is Anthony McClelland. Many people claim to be LeBron’s father, but none could be proven after the DNA test. McClelland and Gloria had a casual relationship and that is the reason he didn’t stick around after Gloria birthed LeBron.

McClelland’s absence in life inspired LeBron to become who he is today, saying, “My whole life I grew up resenting my father, everything was like, “F*** pops, he left me. Why would he do that to my mom? James”,  told Yahoo Finance, “I was like if I ever met him, we going to blows right off top.”

In 2002, the 4x MVP made headlines, he was in the national news. LeBron was grabbing the spotlight as a high school basketballer.

Who is LeBron James’ stepfather?

LeBron had a stepfather for a brief time before his mother Gloria broke things off with him. Eddie Jackson Jr. is the father figure James had in his life. But, it wasn’t any good either, as Jackson Jr. spiraled down in life after his relationship broke with Gloria.

Eddie was arrested on multiple charges for suspicion of drunk driving and fights with the police. It is conclusive to say LeBron didn’t have a father figure to look up to, but he certainly is a great father figure to his sons and daughter.

LeBron has always faced challenges in his life, and from the very beginning, living without a father, and facing criticism from the NBA critics. Whatever anyone threw at LeBron, he handled it like a man and with the utmost maturity. Today he has played in 10 NBA finals , winning 4x NBA titles, 4x league MVPs, 4x Finals MVPs, and the list goes on. Now, he is on his way to becoming the all-time leading scorer in the NBA.
