Nike To Open LeBron James Building On Portland Campus In 2020

 

Nike’s newest campus building will be named after LeBron James.

The LeBron James building, that is scheduled to open in 2020, will be home of Nike’s Advanced Innovation team, and will also include a Sport Research Lab.

James himself was moved to tears by this honor. In an Instagram post, he said:

 

“Man this is so surreal! When I got the call this was happening I couldn’t believe it! I was literally shedding tears. You guys know where I come from but if you don’t I come from the inner city projects, single mother, only child, and statistics would suggest I would never EVER make it out let alone be alive still to tell you about it. Now I’ll have my own building at the Nike Head World Quarters where my family and I legacy will live on forever.”
