MATCHUP #2 – There are two intriguing stories in this duel – the LeBron 9 Elite was the shoe he wore to win his first NBA Title, while the LeBron 3 represented one of the four characters in the memorable “The LeBrons” ad campaign.

MATCHUP #4 – Two big occasions are represented in this pivotal 4 vs. 5 match-up. The Air Zoom Generation was LeBron’s first-ever NBA Home game, while the LeBron 4 was a Birthday surprise for the budding superstar.
