“We encourage all of Akron’s residents to look to LeBron’s incredible career as inspiration, and as a reminder that a kid from Akron can achieve anything with hard work, determination, and perseverance,” the city said in a release.
To commemorate the achievement, Mayor Daniel Horrigan declared Wednesday as LeBron James Day in the city of Akron.
“What a thrill it is to see Akron’s own LeBron James become the NBA’s All-Time leading scorer, a record that may never be broken again. On the court, LeBron James has demonstrated elite athletic ability, determination, and grit over the course of his career,” said Mayor Dan Horrigan. “Despite all the on-court and worldwide accolades, LeBron never forgot his humble roots right here in Akron.
