We here at “Sports Inner City Online” we try to bring you information that sports radio will not discuss at all. More positive information on sports stars. To many times of course we here about negative stuff on NFL and NBA and MLB players.

A lot of them are African Americans or people of color when we hear about players in trouble. We want to bring as many positive stories as we can to you the readers. So you the readers will NOT read about players and ex players being called names like “thugs” and other negative names like we hear on sports radio stations like KJR and 710 ESPN here in Seattle and on Fox Sports Radio with hosts like JT The Brick and other sports jocks.

Lebron James was honored in his home town of Akron, Ohio at a minor league game for his work in the inner city for young youth with his “Wheels For Education” Foundation. It was a overflow crowd at the game to honor “King James”.You may dislike James for the way he left Cleveland a few years ago but one thing for sure LeBron has always given back to the inner city. He has not forgot where he came from. He has given back BIG time. He has build a new Boys and Girls Club for the kids in Akron and other positive things. This is great on his part.

When I was out at Seattle Seahawk training camp recently one of the questions I asked all the players is do they have a foundation for the kids or what are doing to give back to the community. I ask this because I feel players should not forget where they come from after they make their millions.

The only negative thing I will say in this story is a lot of Seattle natives who play in the NBA have forgot where they come from. They donate money to organizations that are “majority” owned but organizations like “Music Inner City Entertainment” have to BEG for help.

It has been a great year for James. Another MVP award, NBA title, Olympic gold medal and more. You matter what you think about LeBron James on how he left Cleveland, you never hear about him in trouble. He is never in the news for hitting his wive or hanging in the clubs at 2am. James is a role model for little kids to look up to. That is for sure.
