Agreed





I've spent years criticizing him for what he does on the court but this type of work is far more important. I take my hat off to him for this. His words match his deeds.

That school looks amazing. Glad he could do that. Somewhat sad he has to.

The guy's always been cool off the court, and not just with philanthropy. His letter about returning to Cleveland (and I'm sure someone helped him write it, but whatever) was really, really cool.

Seems like a great person off the court but fuck him.

Miserable human being. His ego totally bloated. He opened a school so he could fill it with his shoes. Individuals should not be in the business of opening and branding their own schools. Very Hitler Youth.

This is a good read. Didn't know that he was homeless as a child and missed 80 fucking days of school 1 year.

Yep.

Lebron is a better person than MJ.

This seems like when someone donates to a college in exchange for a building named after them. It is nice for sure but yet another thing for them to acquire.

I think it would be funny if Jordan now built a better school.

Maybe he could turn the Highland Park house he's been trying to sell into a school. It's already got a gym and full size basketball court.

Sounds like he basically bought naming rights.

It's a great deal for LeBron, and he is treated like he's some god of philanthropy. He get's a ton of positive PR and a school that is basically a shrine for him for a very small initial investment. We will see what the results are on this. It basically seems like it's a charter school, and those have a fairly dubious track record.

School looks worse by the day.

This was obvious when the media blitz that accompanied the school's opening neglected to do much of anything beside worship LeBron's cult of personality. Anyone who didnt see this as a PR sham is an idiot.

GOAT status denied.

They really think LeBron will be their friend. They think he'll come over to play video games with them. It's amazing. It makes me like Jordan's dickishness more.

Did you read that? It’s a PR stunt that the media could not wait to suck up to. His name is on a public school. His involvement basically ends there.

I read the article and beyond the "not criticizing him" and the "woke political platform" stuff I was aware of everything else. So how does the school look worse?

It looks like something out of a totalitarian state. LeBron is in murals all over it. And he pays for a fraction of it. The rich play by different rules.

You still haven't explained how this makes the school look worse. What does this say about you that you're triggered by this? His name and his money is attached to the success or failure of the school. That's a huge risk whether he's funding 25% or 100% of the school. It is laughable that you or anyone else has an issue with him spending $2M of his own money annually and giving his time. I mean it's not exactly Trump University.

I've read that he's paying the most he can without it being considered a private school.
