After high school, James was drafted by the Cavs with the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft.

In his rookie season, he averaged 20.9 points per game and was named the NBA Rookie of the Year. The following year, he became the first Cavs player to be named an All-Star starter. He has been named an All-Star every year since then. In 2006-2007, he led the Cavs to their first playoff appearance in nine years. The following year, he was named the NBA MVP and led the Cavs to their first ever NBA Finals appearance. They lost to the San Antonio Spurs in four games.
