"19th year! ! I am very lucky to be a child from Akron. For the next child from …, no matter where you come from. Please leave your mark! To be continued? @ Nike Basketball # Leave your mark # Not just an athlete, "James wrote.
James wrote a personal letter to the fans as follows:
"It has arrived. The 19th year. I'm still as excited as the first year. God, how time flies. (James comments: I can't believe it's been 19 years! Do you remember where you started? ) "
" My relationship with northeast Ohio has always been more than basketball. From Xishi to Crosby Street, I have always called Akron my hometown. (Note: We are a family)
"Nowadays, it is more important than ever that we create space for others (Note: It's time! ）。 Create space for the next generation. Space for them to tell their stories. The kind of space they can have.
"I'm just a kid from Akron. I will always be. But I want to point the spotlight at another child. A child from Dayton, or Paris, or Los Angeles, or Beijing, or new york, or a child from anywhere you are.
"pursue greatness. I have been saying this sentence. This doesn't just mean giving on the court. This means making influence off the court for something beyond yourself (note: the kind of influence you can feel).
"adjust your seat. Take a deep breath. Write a chapter. This is your story. We are all listening. "
