We may not like some things about LeBron James but nobody can say a word about how he is with his kids. I wish my dad was an ounce of the father that LJ is..

You became a great dad without having the blueprint. I experienced the same thing without the notoriety being a great dad without having the blueprint. Watching this video warmed my soul !

I love this man as a dad. He’s a very busy man but yet still finds/makes time to be father. There’s no excuse why some of y’all can’t be a father to your kid.
