LeBron James, nicknamed “King James,” is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and has won four NBA championships from 10 NBA Finals appearances – having made eight consecutive appearances between 2011 and 2018.

Timeless Treasures returned to the hobby hardwood packing plenty of hobby heavy hitters into each high-end 1-pack box. Treasures offers collectors a seamless mix of old school and new school players with plenty of autographs, relics, one of ones, and other intriguing hits per $100 hobby box. The “Rookie Year Materials” set featured current stars with their rookie campaign jersey swatches. This LeBron ROY Prime is numbered /25 or less. Even more interesting is the fact that it’s numbered #23, and when a sports card number matches a player’s jersey number -it can be considered a “jersey match”- and collectors are always willing to pay more for the card.
"They had to drag me out of bed to put this suit on," James said, when he won the NBA Rookie of the Year award. "I didn't want to get out. I thought I was going to practice when they woke me up this morning." But that season belonged to James, from his 25-point,nine-rebound, six-assist NBA debut at Sacramento through his resounding windmill dunk to close his season at Madison Square Garden.

The 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament was a multi-stage basketball tournament that played during the 2023-24 NBA season. It was the first edition of the NBA Cup. All 30 teams participated, each playing four regular-season games that count towards the tournament’s group stage standings. All games in the knockout round, except for the championship game, also counted towards the regular season standings. The tournament's semifinals and championship game were played at T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip. The tournament's format was similar to in-season, multi-stage tournaments in European soccer. The Lakers became the first team to win the NBA Cup. LeBron James won the inaugural MVP award, following his averages of 26.4 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, while shooting 56.8% from the field and 60.6% on threes.

The 2003-04 NBA season was the 34th season of the NBA in Cleveland, Ohio. In the years following their 1998 first-round playoff loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Cavaliers dropped to the bottom of the league and became a perennial entrant to the annual NBA draft lottery. The franchise’s freefall bottomed out during the 2002 season, as the Cavs fell to a 17-65 record, tied with the Denver Nuggets for the league’s worst.. However, the fortunes of the franchise shifted dramatically in May 2003, when the Cavs won the first overall pick in the draft. They selected high school phenom LeBron James from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in nearby Akron, providing the team with a centerpiece player around which to build.
