Im a laker fan and defended lebron from some criticisms but this is is next level narcissism. I understand why a lot of people HATE lebron.
I get why people see this as narcissistic, but at the same time it’s LeBron capitalizing on his success as a means of giving back to his community. Football HOF is the next town over in Canton and I would imagine a lot of people going to that would be interested i
He's giving back to his community by charging them $23 to look at his memorabilia?
The $23 goes to his charity that pays for kids to go to college and employs underprivileged community members to work at this museum.
I'm not going to pretend to know all the inner workings going on here, but it would seem to me to be more beneficial to set the price point low enough to where members of those underprivileged communities can actually visit the museum and learn about a dude who came from similarly grim situations and made himself into an international superstar. Pricing out the folks who are going to get the absolute most out of this experience in the name of putting them to work feels really gross and backwards. Regardless of charitable contributions, it's still an absolutely insane price point. A ticket to see Michaelangelo's David costs $5 less and it is infinitely more impressive than anything LeBron has done on a basketball court.
