“When I got the call this was happening I couldn’t believe it! I was literally shedding tears.“
“It’s been an honor to be a part of such a great company for the last 18 years. And to know that a building with my name will reside on campus — it’s truly an honor, and I feel truly special.” -LeBron James
This man is an icon. He came from nothing, handed millions of dollars at the age of 18 and hasn’t stopped working his ass off since. Married his high school sweetheart, puts his kids and family first and now he’s working to help kids in Ohio get chances he never had as a kid.
