A Big Birthday Present For LeBron James

Filed under: Sports

LeBron James might have had the most fabulous 25th birthday ever. LeBron and the Cleveland Cavaliers took on the Atlanta Hawks and were victorious with LeBron clocking in an amazing 48 points. The game was a bit of a squeaker with Anderson Varejao making his first career three-pointer with 17.2 seconds left to give Cleveland a 106-101 victory. In the photo above Lebron James is being presented with a seat cushion in lieu of a present.

The night just got better for the basketball phenom who celebrated with a party at a nightclub with all attendees required to dress in black clothing. After the game, he also got an amazing gift from teammate Shaquille O'Neal, a white Rolls-Royce. This isn't the first time Trump has given this gift, Shaq also gave Donald Trump a white Rolls-Royce for his 2005 wedding present.

LeBron James may make millions but his nonprofit organization isn't so lucky. The LeBron James Family Foundation launched by the Cleveland Cavaliers star is cutting its staff and some of its charitable work. The foundation will still do their annual June bikeathon but will use consultants instead of staff. James has said that the foundation is being streamlined to make better use of money. The foundation may end up only having a board of directors. Charities all over are cutting back. The major draw for sports star charities is of course the name of the player. Over the past few years having a foundation has become pretty much mandatory for players of note in a variety of sports but these charities also depend on community and corporate support which may be lacking in the current economic climate.
