and the LeBron James Family Foundation spent Saturday in James’ hometown of Akron, Ohio hosting the 2009 State Farm “King for Kids” charity bike-a-thon.
James and Hornets’ bike buddy pushed the pace in the lead group of bicyclists, pedaling past James’ former high school St. Vincent-St. Mary and the Akron Zoological Park on the eight-mile route. The Cavaliers’ star was joined by All-Star teammate “America’s Got Talent” host Nick Cannon, Cleveland coach Mike Brown, Cavs general manager Danny Ferry, Lil’ JJ and some creepy looking dude dressed in orange. LeBron’s mother, Gloria, was also there to kick-off the event.
