He was drafted straight out of high school in the 2003-04 season, by the Cleveland Cavaliers. James is already on the road to success by achieving co-rookie of the year, and he appeared in the Olympics.

What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves.
