There is a lot I don't like about this guy, but this is pretty awesome that he is giving so much for this project. He has done a lot of that part of Ohio, absolutely no denying that.

too bad him and Gilbert were not closer, those two's combined efforts (thought Gilbert is working more on Detroit) could've really been spectacular.

Really like what LeBron has done with his time and money. Unlike cheap and selfish ass Jordan There are quite a few in the league that are putting the money and time in as well. Kudos to them!

Agreed. Not a big fan of Lebron and some of his career pr 'decisions', but what he has done off the court deserves a ton of respect.

Lebron does great things on and off the court and wants to do great things with both. It's frustrating though that he isn't better at both. This is an example of him getting it right.

Kyle,

Not sure that LeBron has not done far more great things than bad both on and off the court.

The only blemish on his record, in my opinion, was when he did all of the pomp and circumstances
with his move to Miami.

There's nothing I know about him that'd I describe as bad

Often times a players popularity is based on fan team partisanship.

Off the court, he's exceptional and is doing a lot of good in the world. Never shut up and dribble.
