To everyone’s surprise, LeBron exceeded expectations and curated one of the most legendary careers in NBA history. This Saturday saw the opening of the LeBron James Museum in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. The museum showcases the King’s journey from childhood to becoming one of the greatest players of all time.

Gloria James got emotional on her visit to LeBron’s Museum

LeBron James and his mother, Gloria James, share a close bond and have been together since LeBron’s childhood. They went through tough times together before LeBron turned their lives around by becoming an NBA superstar. Michelle Campbell revealed Gloria James’ emotions after entering the LeBron James Museum. “And then when it all came together, it was emotional when she walked in there. She sat at the table and just could remember playing cards and hanging out and just having those moments.”

The museum itself contains items and memorabilia dating back to LeBron’s childhood. Gloria worked very closely with the team for this project in hopes of creating a great experience for the visitors. The museum also has items from LeBron’s Hall of Fame career’s most significant moments, including his iconic NBA draft day suit. This museum is a part of LeBron James’ legacy and his pursuit to make people’s lives better.

LeBron James is still adding more chapters to his legacy

Even though The Kid from Akron has already built one of the most legendary NBA careers, he does not seem satisfied with his insane resume. At 38 years old, King James is still going strong and playing like he is in his 20s. He has been the best player for the Lakers this season, averaging 25.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 6.7 assists. He recently became the only player to reach a whopping 39,000 career points. LeBron is in his 21st season and looking far from retirement.

He is pursuing his fifth career Championship and does not consider anything less than that a big accomplishment. When the Lakers got eliminated in the Western Conference Finals last season, he revealed that he only plays to compete for Championships. It is great to see the King giving it his all even at this stage of his career, and with the way he is playing, the LeBron James Museum will surely add some more items from the remainder of his iconic career when it is all said and done.

Can he manage his 5th championship ring before his retirement?
