While LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers are getting back on the court tonight in the NBA Bubble, looking to even their best-of-seven series against the Portland Trail Blazers, James accomplished another first off the court.
Last week, LeBron James released his first-ever children’s book “I Promise,” which was done in collaboration with illustrator Nina Mata. And after one week on the shelves, or at least the virtual shelves, LeBron has himself a New York Times bestseller. On Thursday, the Times released their latest bestseller list for Children’s books, where LeBron’s “I Promise” was the No. 1 selling book in the country.
James has been published before, but this book was his first foray into the space of children’s books. James has another book in the works that will focus on speaking to middle-aged children, so this book is just the start of a new aspect of LeBron’s still growing influence off the court.
