[QUOTE="schmendrick, post: 2792957, member: 1951"] Maybe so. But your so-called narcissist is also an astounding philanthropist in the best way: quietly. No need to read if you want to cleave to your opinion, though. [URL="https://born2invest.com/articles/lebron-james-generous-nba-star-today/"]Here’s why LeBron James might be the most generous NBA star today[/URL] James knows how to share and donate money where it matters. Here are five proofs that he might be the most generous NBA player today. [SIZE=3][B]After-School All-Stars[/B][/SIZE] His foundation supports the [URL='http://moneyinc.com/lebron-james-five-humongous-charitable-donations/']After-School All-Stars[/URL] for children in Akron, Ohio. It initially started as a “Wheels For Education” which helps children in education and get involved with extracurricular activities. So far, James has donated $40 million. The program is supporting over 800 children and the first batch of graduates will be on 2021. [SIZE=3][B]Supporting other legends[/B][/SIZE] LeBron also recognizes legends in other sports. He has donated $2.5 million to “Muhammad Ali: A Force For Change” exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson have also contributed to this cause. [SIZE=3][B]“The Decision” proceeds[/B][/SIZE] When James spurned Cleveland to take his talents to Miami, he did it via the highly controversial TV event called “The Decision”. He then donated the proceeds of the spectacle to Boys and Girls Clubs of America. He and his wife have also helped renovate classrooms. Aside from donation 1000 new computers to 59 Boys and Girls Clubs, the estimated amount he has given to the club is at $2.5 million. [SIZE=3][B]ONEXONE[/B][/SIZE] James is also a believer in ONEXONE which supports at-risk children by helping them get better by providing solutions in hunger, health, education, water, and play. The Cleveland star does not forget where he came from, thus his affinity to institutions that support children. [SIZE=3][B]Promise School[/B][/SIZE] Recently, LeBron announced that his [URL='http://www.cleveland.com/akron/index.ssf/2017/04/lebron_james_family_foundation_2.html']Promise School [/URL]is going to open soon in partnership with Akron Public Schools. The school will debut innovative features focusing on hands-on learning, science, technology, engineering, and math. Michele Campbell, executive director of James Foundation, believes in the initiative. “We know this is going to be successful because LeBron James has brought a community of partners, resources, and expertise, and with the help of these partners, we’re ready to take this next huge step,” she added.
