Tiger Woods gave an interview in which he talked about the Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, praising the American basketball player's talent of him. Tiger said: "First of all, I think that being great is doing something that no one can do, but also what separates those people like LeBron or the MJ or Gretzky it's just the duration.

What LeBron has done for what, 15 seasons now, is just remarkable. Because it's that type of longevity and to be able to be up for that long a period of time. And to be able to adjust as well because we all know as we age, we're not going to be as athletic as we used to be."

LeBron's career

James is an active supporter of many charities, including the Boys & Girls Club of America, Children's Defense Fund, and ONEXONE.

On December 25th, thanks to the 39 points scored against the Brooklyn Nets, he becomes the best Christmas Day scorer in NBA history, again surpassing Bryant's previous record.
