LeBron Appreciation Day was held at InfoCision Stadium on Saturday, June 19, 2010. It was organized by the people in the City of Akron who thought that LeBron James isn’t just a basketball superstar, a two time MVP. For them, LeBron James is a true ambassador to their area, shining a spotlight on the greatness for their region and its people. He draws in crowds from all over the world, providing a boost to their economy and support for their businesses. The event, which is free and open to the public, is designed to show James how much he is appreciated by the city he grew up in and its citizens for everything he has done for Akron and Northeast Ohio. This festivity drew nearly 4,000 fans in the venue. As the thousands of fans already gone and leaving, LeBron James turned the big bash into a surprise party. He stunned everyone by walking through a side gate into nearly empty InfoCision Stadium in the University of Akron, after the event was officially ended. As his fans screamed and pushed to get closer to the two-time NBA MVP awardee, LeBron James, who lives a short drive near from the school, made his way down to the playing field. The MVP was presented with a gorgeous crystal trophy, which had to be pulled out of the box after being packed away. “Akron is my home, it’s my life,” James told the crowd after accepting the city’s first Hometown Hero Award. “Everything I do is for this city. I’m going to continue to do great things. I love every last one of you all. Akron is home.” James was then escorted through a door to the football team’s locker room and waved to fans before disappearing almost as quickly as he arrived. James didn’t commit to organizers that he would drop by to the said event, which was sponsored by local businesses and the city of Akron. He never mentioned about free agency during his 10-minute stay. This was his second public appearance since the post season ended in the second-round against the Eastern Conference Champions, Boston Celtics. Video and more info..
