LeBron James stepped away from the fun and festivities of NBA All-Star weekend to give back to the community. James teamed up with Sprite to help renovate the Boys and Girls Club in Gretna, Louisiana (a small city 15 minutes outside of New Orleans).
Rolling out was on hand as James unveiled the new court and mural.
“It’s a lot going doing NBA All-Star weekend,” LeBron James said. “But I try to prioritize and do things that are a lot more meaningful. I got a chance to see the conditions of this place before and it was really bad. But to see the transformation is wonderful.
“When looking at these kids, you can see the energy and spirit that they have. It’s great for them to have a place like this and have people around them who will believe in them. To inspire kids in the inner city means more to me than anything. I have two kids of my own and I know how important it is for every kid to have a chance to make his or her dream a reality.”
According to The LeBron James Foundation, James has helped to renovate over 23 Boys and Girls Clubs nationwide.

Good job Lebron, I'm sure they appreciate everything you do for New Orleans.

Yet is ok for you to blast him for small or imaginery mistakes that people make.

How consistent and objective.

how are his mistakes "imaginary"...?

How consistent and objective.

as far as "consistency and objectivity", how about others trying to quit attempting to tell everyone else how to think? it DOES get tiresome...

This is just another thread for Heat fans to blow him harder than they already do.

We know he's good in the community, we get it. Nobody has debated that.

What is tiresome is the hypocrisy and childish logic used to criticize someone for giving to charity. Was this a thread worthy story? Probably not. Does it require a negative response? Nope

Laker fans do. Guy is one step short of puppy killer on the ladder or despicable human beings.

it's the OP's attempt to change everyone's mind about the great god LeClown again. he can't accept that everyone isn't flat-out in love with this guy for whatever reason...

 

[The Derski]

Everyone in the NBA is forced to do charity work. Ever see those NBA Cares commercials? Cmon. Not trashing LeBron or anything but everyone in the NBA does this so don't act like LeBron is some angel from above.

Leclown- being an example of unnecessary childish commenting. He can bashed just fine without the lame nicknames.

I guess I'm ok with the bashing as long as lakers fans realize how hypocritical they are.

 

[Black Adam]

btw, i have a question, though. how come other players aren't spotlighted as much when THEY do charity work? just curious...

2 things:

1.) It's not just Lakers fans who bash Lebron.

2.) No one (Lakers fan or otherwise) cares whether or not you are okay with them bashing Lebron or under what circumstances.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Why does it always go back to Laker fans? I'm no Laker fan, but you seem to always blame them

1.)On this site, it is 75% laker fans.
