Guest VicNabb Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 AKRON, Ohio (AP)—All 13-year-old Justin Cozzolino wanted was a photo of his hero LeBron James’(notes) high school. He got a whole lot more. While on a “boys sports road trip,” the Connecticut teenager and his father, Rick, stopped at St. Vincent-St. Mary—James’ alma mater—to take a few keepsake photographs. Outside the building, they had a chance meeting with the school’s volleyball coach, who brought them inside for a tour of the locker room and the gymnasium James made famous. That was just the beginning. On Friday, Justin got to meet his idol. “I’ve got to get some ice to cool him down,” his dad said as his son beamed with delight after posing for pictures with James and New Orleans All-Star guard Chris Paul(notes). “I know he’s not going to sleep on the 10-hour drive home. This was a dream come true.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Aqo6ko.b4kalWwlrDORMelq8vLYF?slug=ap-lebrondocumentary&prov=ap&type=lgns This is the Face of the NBA. True character/idol.

JWaLL Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well, he definitely has a lot to make up for after his recent incidents (no handshaking, blowing off the media, dunked on scandal, lack of performance at Mo's camp). Not saying this was a good thing he did, because it was. But it almost feels like he was obligated to do it if he wanted to get his old image back.

Sun Tzu Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hopefully this will make everyone forgive LeBron for all his past incidents, although LeBron has got to do at least a few more of these to get his fame back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
