AKRON, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James has cut the ribbon to open a

clubhouse for children in Ohio named for him.

In a gym he played in as a kid, the NBA superstar Tuesday opened

the LeBron James Clubhouse at an Akron Boys & Girls Club, which

was renovated with $240,000 he donated through his family

foundation. James said he was humbled to be able to help area

youth. The Miami Heat forward promised to keep giving back to a

city that will “always be home no matter where I am.”

It likely will be an emotional day for James, who later will be

inducted into the athletic Hall of Fame at St. Vincent-St. Mary

High School, his alma mater. James said he was overwhelmed by the

honor.
