LeBron James announces full scholarships to University of Akron for his I PROMISE kids

Hey A-hole,

he is from Akron,

and not everyone will be a long horn fan or aggie fan whose living in Houston.

 

Spot on!

People have a hard time separating entertainment from reality. He's removing a barrier for many kids that may not believe they could ever afford school. While there are many programs that do assist those who need help, there's a big mental aspect with regards to self esteem. It now gives some of these kids something to strive for.

Meanwhile, MJ invests in prisons and makes it so that people have to fight over his shoes by restricting supply. Smart businessman, terrible human being.

 

On Thursday, James announced a partnership between his foundation, the university, and JPMorgan Chase in which any child under James' mentorship who graduates from Akron Public Schools and meets yet-to-be-determined testing, attendance, and community-service criteria would receive receive a free ride to the University of Akron.
The scholarships, paid for by the university, will cover tuition and Akron's general services fee -- currently worth about $9,500 a year.

Don't talk about the GOAT like that. Be like Mike.

Be like Kobe, but avoid the hotels in Colorado.

 

Then what's LeBron contributing?

 

His name.

 

as a leader, I have to give him a high five for this.

 

Big ups to a true humanitarian .on....he can also play a lil basketball!
