He gets it. LeBron James really does get it. Say what you may about some superstars making too much money (probably out of jealousy or naivete), but you just cannot say that about LeBron. God has blessed him with talent and riches, and James has used those blessings to bless those around him

He has had camps, family programs, and so much more to give back to his hometown of Akron, Ohio. But now, James has left a permanent legacy for his hometown that shows his love of children and adults alike. . . . James, in conjunction with Akron Public Schools, has opened the I Promise School.
