LEBRON JAMES TEACHES KIDS TO GO GREEN
NBA star Lebron James has partnered up with Nickelodeon to teach kids to be environmentally friendly.Besides educating kids on the importance of going green,Lebron is also teaching kids the importance of exercising:
Beyond the global-awareness message — part of Nickelodeon’s Big Green Help campaign — James is hoping to educate kids on the importance of exercise.
We’re trying to get kids out of the house,” Cleveland’s All-Star forward said while dressing in his trailer after filming the PSA, which will air in mid-July. “Get outside, ride bikes, play hoops. And in this, we’re trying to save water and do other things that can help the environment. … It doesn’t take much to recycle a can or turn the faucet off.”
At 23, James is still a kid at heart. A big SpongeBob fan, the two-time Olympian is also a father of two young sons, and he understands the impact he can have on shaping other kids’ lives.
“They are our future,” he said as his 1-year-old, Bryce, begged for daddy’s attention. “You never forget things when you’re a kid, so every time I do something I like to have it involve kids. I was at my basketball camp earlier and the memories those kids made are going to stay with them the rest of their lives. What I do is kid driven. I don’t do it because I have to. I want to.”
Lebron James has two sons:The first, LeBron James Jr., was born on October 6, 2004 and the second, Bryce Maximus James, on June 14, 2007.
I think Lebron does alot of positive things, which is good because alot of young men look up to him and want to be like him. Sports players are role models to many young people.
I agree with you Georgia, but not all Athlete’s are role models to todays society of young men. Prime Example, Michael Vicks actions led him to his fate…Lebron would be a good influence on young men who set goals for themselves in early life.
GO LEBRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
