Many NBA fans have wondered whether or not LeBron James has siblings. The LA Lakers superstar grew up without his dad, Anthony McClelland, and was raised by Gloria James.

While Gloria has no other children, LeBron does have a half-brother. His name is Aaron McClelland and was born in May 1987. At the moment, there aren't many details regarding LeBron James' siblings, so it's hard to tell whether he's in touch with his half-brother.

McClelland is currently 35 and stands at 5-foot-8. While he is not as physically imposing as the Lakers forward, he's still quite athletic and takes care of his body.
