Today in Sports - LeBron James is drafted #1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron James being drafted No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers highlights a day in sports history filled with major breakthroughs, league milestones, and title-changing results. The roundup notes Hazel Hotchkiss winning U.S. Lawn Tennis Association singles, doubles, and mixed doubles for a second straight year, defeating Louise Hammond 6-4, 6-2. It also recalls 1991’s NBA Draft, when UNLV power forward Larry Johnson went first to the Charlotte Hornets, and 1996, when Georgetown guard Allen Iverson was selected No. 1 by the Philadelphia 76ers. In 2003, the timeline spotlights LeBron James, 19, chosen first overall by Cleveland after St. Vincent-St. Mary HS (Akron, Ohio). Earlier events include Denmark’s 2-0 upset of Germany in the 1992 UEFA final in Gothenburg and Wimbledon’s 2002 upset wave eliminating five top-eight seeds before the third round.
