LeBron James is getting close to being more than just a legendary player on the court; he is on his way to being inducted into the Hall of Fame with the opening of his first official museum. The world’s first official LeBron James museum is being established by the LeBron James Family Foundation
Anticipated to be a multi-media narrative experience, LeBron James’ Home Court will take viewers on a never-before-seen journey through the athlete’s life, from Akron to the NBA to the Olympics, and even in business and philanthropy.
The museum, which will honor all of LeBron James’ achievements, will be located in Akron, Ohio’s House Three Thirty. His mother Gloria James starts the entire journey by rebuilding his Spring Hill Apartment #602. Fans are taken through his incredible St. Vincent-St. Mary’s Fab Five years, his 2003 NBA Draft, and his championship runs in Cleveland, Miami, and Los Angeles.
Highlights include his time winning an Olympic gold medal, his commercial and charitable ventures, and his sense of community. Important pieces include his McDonald’s All-American high school jersey, the original TV from his Spring Hill apartment, his all-white 2003 NBA Draft suit, and the famed 3-1 drum set.
“I’ve always wanted to make Akron famous,” LeBron declared in a release. It means a lot to me to have a location in my hometown where I can tell my story to admirers around the globe. Over the years, I’ve been known to hoard a lot of stuff, but I always believed their time and place will arrive. House Three Thirty, which my Foundation founded to support my I Promise families and the area as a whole, has my highest praise.
Tickets for the November 25th opening of the LeBron James Home Court Museum are presently available for purchase.
