“I think it’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever been apart of,” James said Thursday, via ESPN.com. “This is very special to me. As a kid growing up in the inner city and as an African-American kid, you don’t really think past high school because it’s not possible or your family can’t support you. For us to be able to do something like this … it means so much.”
The University of Akron also announced it has renamed its College of Education after James’ foundation.
