    Lebron James is a man of no small reputation in the world of sport. His skills and talents on the basketball court have captivated the hearts of millions around the world. I personally have spent many hours in front of the TV cheering him on to victory in the NBA (National Basketball Association). Although I have always been a huge fan of Lebron James, I had never taken the time to research his life up until now. I decided I wanted to learn as much as I could about Lebron’s background, his career and personality using only social media websites. Books and magazines are great, but we live in a world today that allows us to access a whole library’s worth of information by a click of a button. Unlike my parents I have been born into an era where social media is the ideal way to share, create and exchange information around the globe. With Lebron James holding such a high status in the sporting world, there was no doubt in my mind that social media websites would contain all the information I could want to know about the star athlete. After taking into consideration the vast amounts of Social media websites that were available, I narrowed down my resources to Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. These are easily some of the most popular websites being used in the world today.…
