 * Students from LeBron James' I Promise school seem to be struggling
   academically.

 * The 8th-grade class hasn't passed a math test in the last 3 years.

 * School board members from Akron, Ohio are concerned about the results.

One of LeBron James' greatest facets is his philanthropic nature. James has made
a conscious effort to give back to his community. Perhaps his most important
project is the 'I Promise' school which provides education for underprivileged
children from minority communities. But a recent story reveals some concerns
about the school.

A recent report revealed that students from the 8th grade of the I Promise
school have not passed the Ohio state math test in several years. One board
member questioned how that could be possible, as it is highly unusual for
children in their age group to have such poor results.

"Not one? In three years?... It is discouraging." 




It should be noted that the school's goal is to serve as an intervention for the
lowest-performing students in the state, but this result is unusual. On top of
that, some of the largest demographics in their school are performing far below
state levels. Akron, Ohio public school board president shared his concern too. 



"For me as a board member, I just think about all the resources that we're
providing. And I just, I'm just disappointed that I don't think, it doesn't
appear like we're seeing the kind of change that we would expect to see."


LEBRON JAMES LOVES THE 'I PROMISE' SCHOOL AND WANTS TO GIVE BACK TO HIS
COMMUNITY

LeBron James has consistently spoken about how much the 'I Promise' school means
to him, and how he wants to give back. Last year, a little after the end of the
NBA season, James took time away from his schedule and made an appearance there
to surprise the students on campus.

James' friends have also supported the endeavor. Global superstar Drake donated
$1 million to the school last year, even stating that he wanted to come down and
deliver the money himself.

Hopefully, for the sake of the students, the administration of the 'I Promise'
school can navigate the issues they're facing and improve the test results of
their students.

Damian Lillard wants to play with Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat. However, in a
shocking turn of events, the NBA might have a final word on that.

Damian Lillard has chosen the Miami Heat as his next team to play
alongside Jimmy Butler. After the Portland Trail Blazers took Scoot Henderson in
the 2023 NBA Draft, there was no turning back.

Lillard is currently under contract until the 2026-2027 season. In 2022, he
signed that two-year extension worth $225 million. However, there were many
doubts about his future considering the Blazers are still far away from being a
contender.

Though Damian Lillard wants to leave Portland, the trade package offered by
Miami hasn’t been enough. Now, there’s another problem. The NBA is seriously
considering a big sanction for the star player.


NBA SENDS HUGE WARNING TO DAMIAN LILLARD




A few weeks ago, Damian Lillard officially requested the Trail Blazers to be
traded. Nevertheless, Portland’s front office might not be willing to attend his
demands. If the Heat don’t have a strong trade package, there’s no transfer.
General manager Joe Cronin has already warned that time is not a problem.



“We’re going to be patient. We’re going to do what’s best for our team. We’re
going to see how this lands. And if it takes months, it takes months. That’s how
my approach has been and will be with this.”

Even in this scenario, Aaron Goodwin, the agent of Damian Lillard, has called
other teams interested to inform them that the player won’t accept any offer.
Just the Miami Heat. That information was reported by Adrian Wojnarowski.

As a consequence, according to ESPN, the NBA might take action against the star
and sent a memo to each team assuring that any player or his agent who makes
public or private comments indicating he won’t “fully perform the services
called for under his player contract in the event of a trade” will be subject to
discipline.

In the memo to all the teams, the NBA clarified that Lillard and Goodwin have
guaranteed that the player would commit to his current contract regardless if he
goes to other team or stays at Portland. Of course, that ending is yet to be
seen as Damian might have lost a lot of leverage to work with.
