LeBron James just broke the NJCAA Javelin throw record.

Well, not the LeBron James in the NBA.

Or the other LeBron James (Jr.) in the NBA.

He was born on 1/27/2005.

On 1/26/2005, LeBron had 27 points, 15 assists, 9 rebounds in a win over Memphis.

His parents saw the vision for greatness after 1.5 NBA seasons. https://t.co/cMwTD0Uf1J

The Javelin record alone is awesome, but sharing a name with the greatest basketball player ever AND breaking records in your respective sport is incredible.
