LBJ Shows Up at Appreciation Day in Akron


Recommended Posts

AKRON, Ohio -- LeBron James made a dramatic appearance at his party -- after it ended.

 

With thousands of his hometown fans already gone or leaving "LeBron Appreciation Day" on Saturday, James walked through a side entrance into nearly empty InfCision Stadium on the University of Akron's campus and made his way down to the playing field.

 

As fans screamed and pushed to get a look at the superstar, James, who lives a short drive from the school, was presented with a crystal trophy, which had already been placed back inside a box before his surprise appearance.

 

"Akron is my home and life," James told the crowd. "Everything I do is for this city. I love every one of you all. Akron is home."

I drove by Akron's stadium and saw the event, seemed pretty nice with t-shirt giveaways etc....wish I went since LBJ was there. Big surprise.
