Billionaire NBA Superstar LeBron James recently inaugurated The LeBron James Innovation Center at Nike World Headquarters in Oregon. And a few days after that, he received an ovation from Draymond Green, PJ Tucker, Lisa Leslie, Maverick Carter, and Paul Rivera in the same building.

LeBron has been a Nike Athlete for nearly two decades now and he is arguably the greatest ever. And Nike honored The King by naming a building after him. The LeBron James Innovation Center is a brand new 84,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art lab that is specifically designated for research. It is set to employ tons of scientists and researchers.

The center is home to one of the best and biggest motion camera systems in the world. And it features a full-size basketball court along with a soccer field.

This took him back to the grind and all the hard work he put in over the years. And the work that his mom and his family put in over the years.
