 * 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.

The Lakers got D'Angelo Russell back at the trade deadline last year as a part
of the three team mega deal that sent away Russell Westbrook, and down the
stretch, D-Lo kind of looked like that vintage former #2 overall pick that the
Lakers drafted out of Ohio State in 2015.

He was a really consistent starter who averaged 17.4 points per game, and almost
shot at 50% since he joined the Lakers. But that still wasn't enough to make him
the plan for point guard going forward, as the lakers went out and acquired Gabe
Vincent over the offseason. 

This leads one NBA expert to believe that D-Lo could be traded to the Utah Jazz
sometime near the NBA trade deadline this season.

Look, Vincent's numbers in his time in Miami last year were a little less than
Russell's in LA, he averaged 9.4 points per game to Russell's 17.4, but his
playoff prowess led people to believe that he could be a very viable option in
the league, whether it's off the bench or starting.

Ultimately, I think D-Lo will be the day one starter with Vincent coming in off
the bench. 

The move to get Vincent was likely just to add depth to a roster that really
needs it. We saw just how much they needed it last year when Anthony Davis and
LeBron James both went down with injuries.

Could the Lakers move off of one of them at the deadline? Sure. Do I think it
will happen? Probably not.
