really putting his $ where his mouth is. very few superstar athletes carry themselves as well as LBJ does or do more for their community. Props to him.

LeBron James is giving kids from Akron -- ones with challenging backgrounds like his -- the chance to go to college for free.

The NBA star has partnered with the University of Akron to provide a guaranteed four-year scholarship to the school for students in James' I Promise program who qualify.

The scholarship will cover tuition and the university's general service fee -- currently $9,500 per year.

According to the Akron Beacon Journal, as many as 2,300 children could potentially benefit from the scholarships.
 
Props to him. But you know some can will still criticize him and say that's not enough.
 
Good to see Lebern doing the world some good.

Tru dat. He raised a ton of money by doing the Decision and still got criticized for it.
 
Good guy Bern.

He should pressure his other high-profile stars to match him. And he should pressure his rich ass boss to match and triple him, at least.

Because like that Chris Rock bit goes, "Shaq is rich. The white man that signs his paychecks is wealthy"
 
Hey, Mr. James. Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do, make our dreams come true?

Good on him, that's awesome.

He's already trying to get his boss to pay more than double that for a bench player. Don't think he's going to push his luck here.
 
LeBron should take jon jones on as a little brother program
 
if more wealthy people were generous, people would all love wealthy people.

He shouldn't be giving kids who only want to thug out chances at free rides to school when there are plenty of other kids in America who are struggling themselves financially yet are completely committed to furthering their education.

It would be better if LolBron ran some functional analytics and gave his money based on kids tests scores, attendance and activity within school (which doesn't discriminate). Not just because of a kids color and because they don't have a Dad.

TLDR: LolBron is wasting $40mil and is racist.

Nobody has to do anything with their money because someone else does. This 'pressuring' of to do this and do that in society today because it 'looks good' is worthless.

Lol @ quoting a misinformed racist like Chris Rock. What does the color of the skin have to do with the guy signing Shaq's checks? He is wealthy because he's white? Or because he worked his ass off or is smart (or both) and earned his money?

See my other post in regards to LolBron maximizing his $40mil to be used to it's furthest potential. Then I would be all for the "rich white men" tripling LolBron's postings.

The university and the LeBron James Family Foundation are still finalizing the criteria for the scholarships. The students will have to graduate from high school within Akron's public school system, achieve standard testing requirements, and fulfill a community service obligation

Nice job reading the article idiot.

LOL graduating HS and meeting standard testing requirements.

Yes because we need a bunch of average joes like yourself who didn't understand my simple post getting free rides to college.

Go get eaten by a gator you swamp rat.

lol @ the unemployed gamer calling a first year Deputy who graduated at the top of his class in the academy with first dibs on patrol and not the jails. Only 4 others got that honor.

But go on about how you think graduating HS is somehow amazing when there are poor kids all over who are in GATE and committed yet due to many other reasons (won't get into all of it) are unable to get into college.

Lol @ you calling me an unemployed gamer, you must have me confused with the other guy with the la roux av. Literally none of the rest is true.

But go on about how you think graduating HS is somehow amazing when there are poor kids all over who are in GATE and committed yet due to many other reasons (won't get into all of it) are unable to get into college.

Never said this lmao
