LeBron James will always have a soft spot for the Cleveland Cavaliers even after leaving the team.

On Thursday afternoon, LeBron James delighted the students at his I Promise School by announcing a $1 million donation to build a new gym, made possible through the generous support of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Foundation. “Everyone here at IPS is overjoyed—it’s an incredible day,” James shared. “We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone at the Dick’s Foundation who made this possible.” This kind of generosity was completely unexpected. Our mission has never been about seeking recognition; it’s always been about doing something extraordinary for our kids
James believed that all of his academic success began in the gym, and he hoped that his fellow classmates would share same sentiment.
“I want you all to know that the gym we’re building isn’t just for sports,” he said. One more safe place for our kids. One more place where administrators, staff, and teachers might interact directly with the pupils.
I find the word “sport” to be incredibly meaningful because it sums up my upbringing. I understand; education is a topic we frequently discuss and will continue to do so because it is so important for the present and the future.
“The brotherhood, sisterhood, and camaraderie that you experience while participating in sports can assist you in achieving numerous goals in life.”
It’s encouraging to see that James, despite his departure from the Cavaliers, still has a strong sense of nostalgia for his hometown, both within and outside of the basketball realm.
