Kirk Herbstreit Interviewing A 16-Year-Old LeBron James Is a Weird Walk Down Memory Lane

In 2001, Kirk Herbstreit interviewed LeBron James. At that time the 16-year-old was a high school sophomore with two state championships already to his name. His future looked very bright, but few could have predicted just how great his career would become.

Enjoy the way-back machine and ponder a world where James wasn’t afraid of the contact that came with playing big-times football.

Also, Herbstreit’s hair has really stood the test of time. Not a single piece out of place ever.
