FILE - In this Aug. 19, 2012, file photo, NBA star and Akron native LeBron James and his mother Gloria James, right, pose with children participating in the LeBron James Family Foundation's Wheels for Education "Time to Promise" School Year event at Canal Park during an Akron Aeros game in Akron, Ohio. LeBron James has given Hillary Clinton an assist. The NBA superstar, who helped end Cleveland’s championship drought earlier this summer by winning a title with the Cavaliers, is backing Clinton for president. James believes Clinton can do more to help at-risk kids like he once was, saying she’s the only candidate who “truly understands the struggles of an Akron child born into poverty.”(AP Photo/Akron Beacon Journal, Karen Schiely)
