Sometimes even the greats take a little time to get going. While Lebron won Rookie of the Year in his freshman season, his second year represented a significant statistical leap. The forward progress earned him his first All-Star Game berth, where he notched 13 points, eight rebounds, and six assists, leading the East to an easy victory. Shortly after that, LeBron registered his first 50-point game and began flirting with triple-doubles on a nightly basis. In his sophomore campaign, Lebron tallied 27.2 PPG, 7.4 rebounds, and 7.2 assists, all significantly higher than his rookie season. The 20-year-old LeBron also led the league in minutes played and moved the needle by helping the Cavs to their first winning record in nearly 10 years.
LeBron’s second-year 2004-05 Topps Chrome card features him leaping toward a reverse slam dunk. This /99 Gold Refractor reflects all the raw athleticism that generated so much excitement around the league and among fans. It's nothing short of a cornerstone card that combines an iconic brand, an immensely popular parallel, rarity and an absolutely stunning photo that will ensure it stands out forever.
