LeBron James delivers commencement speech for Class of 2020

After weeks of announcements and promises about the 2020 class, LeBron James delivered in a big way with ‘Graduate Together,’ pulling together guests from all over who could speak to the class of 2020 and celebrate them for their accomplishment. LeBron announced Kevin Hart and Barack Obama as speakers, with Obama delivering the keynote address, but LeBron wasn’t just the producer of the show, he was also the de facto host. So LeBron made sure to have his own speech for the students who will be going on to new challenges.

James was introduced by one of the LeBron James Family Foundation 330 ambassadors and Class of 2020 member, Ervin Odom.
