James was the overall first pick in the 2003 NBA draft. And even before playing on an NBA court, ?The King? already had multiple endorsements offered to him. Furthermore, one of the first major purchases he did during his time in Cleveland was to buy a 30,000 sq. ft mansion in Akron, Ohio.
Good news for LeBron James and his Miami Heat teammates
The 19-room mansion?features a ton of things in it. It has six bedrooms and eight full toilets along with six and a half toilets as well. The mansion also has a two-lane bowling alley, a theater, a barbershop, an aquarium, a sports activities bar, an on line casino, and a two-story stroll-in closet in the master bedroom.
And that is where James decided to host a Thanksgiving dinner for his Miami Heat teammates. And the only reason he held that dinner in his Akron, Ohio mansion was the fact that the Miami Heat were on the road to face the Cleveland Cavaliers?in 2013.?
It was quite obvious that the team would?ve preferred to spend Thanksgiving in Miami instead of Cleveland with their families. But they were lucky as LeBron James already had a property in the city and all of them got to spend it together.?
LeBron James made sure to take care of every small detail to make it a memorable dinner for his teammates. His wife Savannah and his chef reportedly split the cooking duties.

His co-star from their Heat days, Dwyane Wade said, ?We’re not at home with our families for Thanksgiving, but it couldn’t work out any better that at least we could be in someone else’s home.?
?And it’s a very nice home that we’re going to, so I’ll make sure I’ll put on the right clothes and the right socks, gotta-take-your-shoes-off-at-the-door type of house,? added Wade.
