The King’s First Showcase

Story
LeBron James rolled back into Cleveland last night, but the real throwback is the grainy footage from his high-school debut in Philly nearly 25 years ago. Maureece Rice, the guy guarding him that night, still sounds shell-shocked: “It was like, ‘Wow, this guy is in another world.’ You have to see him. You can’t miss it if you’re a basketball fan.”

Big Mike’s Take
Numbers don’t lie—18 points, 10 boards, 5 dimes in a packed Palestra, and he was only 16. The league’s been chasing that kind of hype ever since. Cleveland’s got the rings now, but Philly’s where the legend started. If you slept on that game, you slept on history.
