LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Carmelo Anthony all made their NBA debut in the 2003 draft class and have maintained a strong friendship over the years. While Wade has since retired from professional basketball, James and Anthony are currently teammates on the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, today’s focus isn’t on their current whereabouts but rather on an event that took place in 2005. The spotlight is on the King For Kids Bikeathon, organized by LeBron James.
Since his early days in the league, LeBron has been committed to supporting underprivileged youth, and the Bikeathon is another initiative he launched in 2005. The event promotes the importance of staying active and healthy through cycling.
To amplify its impact, LeBron enlisted the support of his friends to participate in the charity event. As expected, with James’ involvement, the Bikeathon was a resounding success. Even now, in 2024, fans fondly reminisce about this memorable occasion.
