Transcript for LeBron James on Giving Back to the Community, Defending Cavaliers' Title

a difference with the Lebron James family foundation. First of all, let me just say, being from Akron, so many cousins who live in Akron, my grandmother used to watch the cavaliers all the time. How did that feel for you to bring home that championship? I haven't had that feeling in a long time, if ever and to be able to end our drought, to be able to uplift so many people that's followed Cleveland sports that has been through all the pain and suffering over the years and to be able to come through and deliver on something that I set out to do, it was the ultimate. As is your foundation and working with these children. You've been doing this for years now. I remember going back with you to Akron when it was first starting and seeing you hands on with the kids. It's as important now in 2016 as when you began this. Absolutely. And just a few days ago we had our family reunion, bringing in a new crop of third graders and this is year six for us and, you know, what my foundation has been able to do has been unbelievable to hit home in our inner city and make sure our kids understand how important they are to us long term because they are our future and it's unbelievable what we've been able to do so far. What will it mean to you to see them graduate and to go on to college? It's -- it will mean everything to me. And that's why we have so many people looking after them from mentors to -- I got high school kids looking after our kids. We have the university of Akron looking after our kids and if they're able to graduate and reach all their criteria we also have a college degree -- I mean a college education waiting for them to go off to college so it's very exciting. You said this at the espys, you and the others there on the stage, that was a dramatic open to the espys like that but you talked about in your local communities that we all want to save the world but you've got to start at home. Absolutely. I don't have all the answers.
