LeBron James was a star prior to ever hitting the NBA hard court, with ESPN & other networks picking up on many of his high school games, something that is seldom seen even with today’s top targets & the increased media exposure they face. This rare offering dates from LeBron's "breakout" season of 2002 where he would gain national recognition. This original February 2002 edition of Sports Illustrated features high school junior LeBron James as "The Chosen One", signed on the outside cover page with a boyish high school autograph. Potentially the earliest signed LeBron James item we have seen! Take notice as he continues his run of breaking nearly ever record written in the NBA! Overall in fine condition with minor handling wear. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
