Representing the NBA with character

LeBron’s impact has been felt off the court as well. He has done a great deal of philanthropic work over his 14-year career. Proceeds from his much-maligned “Decision” in 2010 benefited Boys & Girl’s Clubs in Ohio. He’s sent several children to college by way of the LeBron James Family Foundation. LeBron has also been outspoken on several social issues during his time as a player, often alongside his peers.

In the end, LeBron has proven himself to be a trailblazer and a difference-maker in NBA history. He has accomplished much in his career and has yet to show any signs of slowing down. Parker made several statements on Monday but one in particular stands out. He believes that the Warriors will beat the Cavs in five games to win the NBA Finals.

If Parker is wrong on that one, he may find himself writing a similar story to the one he wrote after last year’s Finals.
