I'm a big LeBron fan but I'll admit he is kinda... eccentric. (He was world famous as a teenager so it's understandable). When KD left for Duquesne LeBron wrote a letter to UA endorsing his former high school coach Dru Joyce Sr. for the job. When Dru was passed over he felt disrespected & I think that's when LBJ put some emotional distance between himself & UA. Hopefully he gets over it. I'm crossing my fingers he moves back to Akron (at least part time) after he retires & gets involved in the community like his high school friends Romeo Travis, Sian Cotton, & Willie McGee have done. Those guys could be living in condos on a beach somewhere but they're all involved in various aspects of STVM/iPromise enterprises. (So are Josh & John Williams, btw.)
Yeah. The poor iPromise kids largely come from... suboptimal... home environments so though they've been given every publicly-funded academic advantage known to man they still have failing academic progress ratings. LeBron also built very nice, new condos for the families on the corner of Maple & Exchange but the families aren't taking care of them, as there are already holes in the walls & often-broken windows as well as homeless sneaking in to sleep (& defecate) in the hallways 🤦♂️. A young lady was just shot & killed in there a week ago 😕
