I think the discussion on this is interesting to see.

Is it perhaps somewhat narcissist? Sure. But apparently the profits are going straight to Akron. Of course many on this thread may not know this, which is kind of important - if he opened this museum for his own profit, that's something. But if it's basically just a fundraiser for his hometown that uses his name and fame, I have no problem with that at all. Maybe he needs better PR.

And the truth is... ok, sure, maybe he's a narcissist to some extent or another. But there's never really been any meaningful scandal around LeBron.

I would imagine, for instance, a lot of the people criticizing him on this thread love Kobe, who basically is a rapist. I'd much rather have a narcissist that helps his hometown with his narcissism than a rapist.
