—LeBron

LeBron is a durable tank hero who uses his exceptional leadership, physical prowess, and team coordination to protect his allies and control the battlefield.

## Moba Skills

**MVP (Passive):** When LeBron successfully lands a crowd control effect on an enemy or provides a buff to an ally, he gains a temporary shield scaling with his maximum health. The shield can stack multiple times but has a cap. Additionally, each successful ability cast reduces the cooldown of his other abilities by a small amount.

* **Slam Dunk (Skill Shot):** LeBron charges forward, slamming down on the targeted enemy, dealing damage and briefly stunning them. Enemies hit by Slam Dunk are marked with "Shattered Defense," reducing their armor by a significant amount for a short duration. If LeBron hits a "Shattered Defense" marked enemy with another ability, the armor reduction is refreshed and further increased.
* **Defensive Stance (Area of Effect):** LeBron projects an aura around himself, increasing the armor and magic resist of nearby allies. If an ally within the aura's effect takes damage from an enemy champion, the armor and magic resist bonus is temporarily increased and the ally gains damage reduction for a short period. Multiple instances of damage refresh the duration and stack the effect up to a cap.
* **Fast Break (Area of Effect):** LeBron empowers his allies with increased movement speed and tenacity for a short duration. If an ally within the area of effect receives damage, the movement speed buff is refreshed, and the ally gains a brief burst of additional speed and immunity to crowd control effects for a very short duration.
* **Championship Spirit (Single Target, Ultimate):** LeBron targets an ally champion, granting them a percentage of his armor, magic resist, and a portion of his bonus health as a shield. The shield decays over time but can be refreshed by dealing damage to enemy champions. While under the effects of Championship Spirit, the targeted ally gains bonus attack damage and ability power, scaling with LeBron's maximum health.

## Backstory

In an alternate universe, LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in the small, rural town of Akron, Ohio. Known to his friends and family as "Bron," he grew up in a quaint, tight-knit community where everyone knew one another. His mother, Gloria, raised him as a single parent, working multiple jobs to provide for her son.

As a child, LeBron was an exceptionally bright student who excelled academically. He was known for his quick wit, and his insatiable appetite for knowledge often led him to spend hours in the local library, devouring books on various subjects. Although he was a gifted athlete, his true passion was science, and he loved to conduct experiments in his makeshift laboratory in the family's garage.

In middle school, LeBron discovered his talent for basketball, and although he excelled on the court, he remained humble and focused on his academics. He earned a scholarship to attend the prestigious St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, where he was encouraged to pursue both his love of science and basketball. He quickly became the star player on the school's team, the Fighting Irish, attracting the attention of college recruiters and professional scouts from across the country.

While LeBron's basketball prowess was undeniable, he remained committed to his scientific pursuits. He was particularly fascinated with the concept of time travel, and in his spare time, he poured over scientific journals, searching for the key to unlocking the mysteries of the space-time continuum.

As he prepared to graduate high school, LeBron faced a difficult decision: follow the conventional path and enter the NBA or pursue his dream of unlocking the secrets of time travel. In a shocking twist, LeBron chose to decline the offers from NBA teams and instead accepted a full scholarship to study theoretical physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

At MIT, LeBron's unparalleled intellect and determination propelled him to the top of his class. He forged a strong bond with his mentor, the brilliant and enigmatic Dr. Emmett Brown, and together they embarked on a groundbreaking research project. Their work focused on developing a time machine, and after years of tireless effort, they succeeded.

With the ability to travel through time, LeBron and Dr. Brown embarked on a series of adventures, witnessing pivotal moments in history and meeting iconic figures from the past. But LeBron never forgot his love for basketball. In each era he visited, he would find time to play, honing his skills against the best players of every generation.

Eventually, LeBron decided to use his knowledge of time travel to change the course of history for the better. He traveled back to the moment he had chosen to attend MIT and, in a daring act, convinced his younger self to pursue a career in basketball instead. He told young LeBron about his life at MIT and the potential he had to use his fame and fortune to make a difference in the world.

LeBron James, now a living legend in the world of basketball, uses his platform to advocate for social change and improve educational opportunities for disadvantaged youth. His passion for science and innovation has led him to invest in cutting-edge research, including the development of renewable energy sources and advancements in healthcare.

Though he no longer has access to the time machine, LeBron's incredible journey through history remains a secret only he and Dr. Brown know. His experiences have shaped him into the man he is today – a true icon of sport, science, and philanthropy.
