LeBron James

LeBron James is on the verge of solidifying his status as a Hall of Famer, and his inaugural museum marks a significant step towards becoming more than just a basketball icon. The LeBron James Family Foundation is unveiling the world’s first official LeBron James museum, titled “LeBron James’ Home Court,” providing fans with a captivating multimedia journey through the athlete’s life, showcasing unique memorabilia spanning from his Akron roots to his achievements in the NBA, Olympics, and various ventures in business and philanthropy.

Dedicated to commemorating all of LeBron James’ milestones, the museum finds its home at House Three Thirty in Akron, Ohio. Offering an immersive experience, the exhibit commences with a recreation of his Spring Hill Apartment #602, artfully curated by his mother, Gloria James. Visitors are guided through pivotal moments such as his transformative years at St. Vincent – St. Mary’s, the 2003 NBA Draft, and triumphant championship campaigns with Cleveland, Miami, and Los Angeles. The exhibit also delves into his Olympic gold-medal-winning years, shedding light on his impactful contributions to business, philanthropy, and community development. Notable artifacts on display include his iconic all-white 2003 NBA Draft suit, the renowned 3-1 drum set, his high school McDonald’s All-American jersey, and the original TV from his Spring Hill apartment.

LeBron James expressed his enthusiasm about the project, stating, “My dream was always to put Akron on the map, so to have a place in my hometown that allows me to share my journey with my fans from all over the world means a lot to me. I’ve been known to hang on to a lot of things over the years, and I always knew there would be a time and place to bring them out. I’m so proud that place is House Three Thirty, a space my Foundation created to serve my I Promise families and the entire community.”

The LeBron James’ Home Court museum is scheduled to open its doors on November 25, with presale tickets currently available. In case you missed it, DESCENDANT and Albino & Preto recently unveiled their collaborative collection, “Unbeaten by Rain & Wind.”
