In The LeBron Phenomenon: My Front-Row Seat to History, Morgan shares his firsthand account of covering LeBron during his time as a student-athlete at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.

Relive the early 2000s and experience an unprecedented era in high school basketball.

Also included are current stories from those who coached and played against LeBron during his high school career. This is a personal, nostalgic reflection on sports history. It is filled with Morgan's memories and the excitement of covering a high school phenom and watching LeBron ignite his path into the NBA and certain election to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as one of the greatest to ever play the game.
