LeBron James Doing More Amazing Things Besides Preparing Lakers During Offseason

LeBron James is all about basketball and community work. The king of basketball had a bad season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and many thought that he’d spend the offseason doing nothing. Well, that’s not the case, and LeBron is actually super busy.

One of his activities involves getting ready for the upcoming season. It’s a packed schedule, but LeBron had enough time to work on his I Promise School.

“Joined by four high school teammates, the NBA superstar dedicated a multicolored outdoor basketball court at the I Promise School, which he founded last year for underprivileged children in his hometown. James took a break from his starring role in Space Jam 2, currently in production, to spend time with the kids and support his family foundation.

“Before taking the court for a quick pickup game against the youngsters, James took the microphone and addressed the kids, encouraging them to chase their dreams the way he and his friends have.

“’This is a basketball court and we see basketball hoops, but it teaches you so much more than just basketball. To be able to create a brotherhood or sisterhood and create things that will last forever. A lot of people say things you do in high school you’ll forget. Well, we created a friendship 25 years ago and we’re still firm and strong. This is our way of giving it back to you guys — paying it forward.’”

LeBron was joined by his former coach Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee, Romeo Travis and Sian Cotton, the “Fab Five” from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School. It’s the same squad that won a state title and became popular. It marked the magnificent beginning of LeBron’s career.

A young player from Oklahoma City Thunder revealed that he learned so many things from LeBron as a mentor. Thunder forward Darius Bazley revealed that he feels lucky and happy to be mentored by the Lakers star. He will be given a big role for the Thunder next season because Russell Westbrook and Paul George are out of the team now.

LeBron is also busy with the filming of Space Jam 2. It’s one of his biggest projects.
