LeBron James is rarely seen as the underdog, because he has every gift for basketball, but the game of life extends far outside the game of hoops.
Before he hit the big stage, James moved house to house within impoverished Cleveland neighborhoods. In his own words, he was "a statistic that was supposed to go the other way," so he felt no pressure when the odds were stacked against him during The Finals.
The story of James overcoming the odds was the overarching theme of his new commercial for Nike, which tells his story through "The Block" in Game 7.
