While basketball began as a distinctly American sport, the advent of the NBA and the colossal stars that it produces has propelled it to a global stage. It would be hard to argue that LeBron James is anything but center-stage in that regard, and the man is making the most of it, taking his talents to South Beach China to promote the sport and give some game to the youth. During his tour, LeBron has hosted clinics for a varying degree of age levels, often switching between roles as coach and player. Whilst traveling, he also made a stop in at the local Nike Store in downtown Shanghai to discuss his new Asia-Pacific exlcusive sneaker, the Nike LeBron Ambassador IV.
LeBron’s travels throughout China are culminating this week in the Nike Festival of Sport, a four day experience set in Shanghai featuring other big names from the Nike roster like Liu Xiang and Paul Rodriguez. This event will be composed of endless activities in basketball,football,tennis, and skateboarding, all with the aim of boosting interest and skill in these realms throughout China. From tournaments to meet and greet sessions with these top athletes, the Nike Festival of Sport is poised to be a memorable event. Continue reading for a photo recap of LeBron’s China tour and a look at what’s going on right now at the Nike Festival of Sport.
Wasnt this the same tour when he got stripped and dunked on by a 6' 2" chinese player??
Yep it was. The guy stole the ball from LeBron and dunked on him in the same progression. Not a big deal though. A lot of NBA players get owned on street courts. Anyway, seeing these pictures made me happy. It's fantastic to see these smiling faces and how sports can bring people from all over the world together. You can say about LeBron what you want, but he definitely does a good job here. Peace
how about the first picture with that one black guy hahaha. he looks so out of place in the sea of asians
man! Lebron's hair line is out the game.
too funny, he got to stop rockin those headbands and let his hairline breathe.......Akron, Ohio Stand up
He is high as fuck on that dunk on the last page.
Haha i saw some men wearing kobes and kds in the last page haha
Virescit Vulnere Vertus: Courage becomes greater through a wound
That's great and talk IS cheap. What about effort?
Whenever NBA superstars (Kobe, Dwayne, Chris Paul, KD, LeBron) come to Asia, they could generate massive crowd that NO movie actors could. The chick on page 1 holding LeBron's pic, she cute!
This would a good time to say that lebron traveled
lmao @pg4 lebron havent seen a lebron cavs jersey for a minute
Asian women are beautiful!!
Long live the King! Sadly yes Lebron lost in the finals. But he's a winner at life!! P.S. LOL @ the dude who tried to jump with Lebron on pg.2!
Lebron is lecturing on how to be clutch in the 4th quarter.
The LeBron jokes are gettin REAL tired.I hear them EVERY SINGLE DAY.
your point is...
Then tell Lebron to win a championship. That's the only way these jokes will stop
A man do worry he will have the last laugh
hahaha good one never heard that one before
Too many people wear Nike Elite socks. LeBron just got to encourage them. Also the Ambassador IV's look way too much like KD3's.
too many people where hats... that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them
