LeBron James, Akron’s greatest export this side of rubber tires, is being honored with an event in his hometown. The NBA’s two-time MVP will be recognized June 19 at “LeBron Appreciation Day” in the University of Akron’s InfoCision Stadium. The celebration is aimed at persuading James to re-sign with the Cavaliers in July, when he is eligible to become a free agent.
Akron community and civic leaders, including Mayor Don Plusquellic, are scheduled to participate in the free event with a goal “to send a unified message of support to our hometown hero LeBron James.”
