Lakers News: LeBron James Museum Opening in Akron, Ohio Later in November

Akron's hometown hero and the only player to bring a title to Cleveland will be having a museum opened in his honor by the end of the month.

LeBron James is, and has been the main face that those acquainted with sports and pop culture have associated with Akron and Cleveland, Ohio for the past 20 years.

It's entirely possible that outside of Kobe Bryant and his relationship to the city of Los Angeles, LeBron and Cleveland are the only other city and player synonymous to this magnitude.

Opening November 25 inside House Three Thirty... @KingJames' Home Court. The world’s first and only official museum dedicated to the journey and milestones of the kid from Akron! 👑

The fact that a player is capable of having a museum built in his honor is reflective of what LeBron has accomplished since 1999 when he enrolled at St. Vincent–St.Mary High School.

A two-time national high school player of the year and three-time Ohio Mr. Basketball, James' name was etched into the history books long before he became arguably the greatest player of all time.

Tag this onto winning multiple MVPs and the signature 2016 NBA Championship, and LeBron becomes by far the greatest Cavalier and Cleveland-born athlete of all time.

This is extremely well-deserved and truly displays LeBron's one-of-one talent and career.
