Why is “The King” a Good Role Model?
Even though he is considered one of the best
players who played basketball in the history, and
the inspiration for most of the young basketball
athletes nowadays, he is way more than just an
athlete. He has kindness and gratitude for his
hometown, Akron. He had consolidated several
projects that demonstrate to the society why is it
that LeBron James is a good role model. Between
all these projects I’m going to highlight the
following ones.
 Just A Kid From Akron / Points
• Lebron James is arguably considered the best basketball player in history
• The LeBron James Family Foundation
• I Promise School
 Just A Kid From Akron / counterpoints
• Some people still compare him
with Michael Jordan because both
are basketball legends, and the
discussion is about who is better.

• Some people might talk that he

created this foundations and
programs to be well looked by the
media and society.
Strive for Greatness

Even though LeBron James is in the

greatness one of his quotes which says
“Strive for Greatness” he is constantly
trying to improve not only as an
athlete but as a good person who cares
for his society.
Quote
“Any chance I get, you’ll hear me say
it loud and proud: I’m just a kid from
Akron. And I say that because of the
roots, the support, and the love my
city has always given me. From my
earliest days growing up in those
streets, the community wrapped its
arms around me. My mom and I had
our challenges, but the people I was
lucky to have around me would not
let me fail. I want to do everything I
can to be that for my kids in Akron
coming up behind me who have
incredible futures ahead of them.”
