Sħãlïq™ Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 LeBron hints at competing in 2016 Olympics AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- LeBron James squeezed his mom's hands, the way he did as a kid. Moments before being honored again in his hometown, where they still love him and always will, James stood among family members and friends. With the days in this summer of summers dwindling quickly, this was another moment to savor. So as he waited to be introduced, James hugged his mom, Gloria, around the neck, took out his phone and snapped their picture. He was home. "I know this place," he said, "and it knows me." Fresh off leading the U.S. men's team to a gold medal at the London Olympics, James was praised Sunday during a minor league game for his recent basketball accomplishments - an MVP award, NBA title and the gold - and for giving back to Akron, where his "Wheels For Education" initiative has provided inner-city kids with supplies, programs, mentors, and above all, hope. "I was one of these kids," James said. "It means everything to me to be able to give back. I have a passion for it. I love seeing kids smile, and for them to have someone who can lead them. For me to be in this position and being able to help and give back, means a lot." James received a warm ovation from the crowd of 3,843 - more than double the average attendance - when he walked onto the infield at Canal Park, home of the Double-A Akron Aeros, during the middle of the eighth inning escorted by Akron Mayor Don Plusquellic.Full Story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
