I wish people would stop praising Lebron James for "his" school
Sorry but it is a school that is largely paid for by taxpayers. NOT Lebron James or his foundation.

Oooh, lookie... someone's [b]ignorance[/b] is showing!!!
Of course, taxpayers will be required to pay at least part of the cost, it is a public school - which means that tax payers would be required to pay something to ensure that it remains what it is as well as being usable as intended.
Just a nugget of information for you to consider, Mr Ignorant... did you know that it would have been illegal for the foundation to fully fund the project - even if they had wanted to??? Yes, that does mean that tax payers were going to have to foot the bill regardless of the foundations help or not, the only difference is that his involvement has now released tax money that can be used on other things as opposed to the school that it was once earmarked for.

One, James has put in a good deal of money for the school.
Two, the district has already agreed to the money's needed to build and run the school.
Three, it's a district school, which means not private and not-for-profit, and therefore is under the umbrella of taxpayer education.
Four, this is what you're choosing to nitpick? The realization of a gift greater than one man's wealth with the aim of educating youth?

@Notmesam that is not further from the truth. Take a look at what is actually going on in Akron and you will see why it is nothing but a lie from him and his foundation. He is doing way less than half of what he claims. He is nothing but a liar.

@Harley4Life well, of course not if he gave all his money he'd be left with none, everyone needs to contribute soo the younger get a chance for a better future !!! what is wrong with that??

@IAMMONARAHIMI he has not done shit to really help the Akron Ohio school district. His "scholarships" for college ate guaranteed by the college NOT him. He has done nothing but lie about this and the majority won't say anything because of who he is. He is doing nothing but misleading everyone with his great "charitable work".

It's one thing to be charitible. But when you talk and take credit for it, it just becomes self promotion.
