On Wednesday, LeBron James went back to school and back in time.

The NBA superstar dedicated a multicolored outdoor basketball court at the I Promise School, which he started last year to help poor kids in his hometown. He was joined by four high school friends.

James took some time off from filming “Space Jam 2,” which is currently going on, to spend time with his family and raise money for his family charity.

James spoke to the kids over the microphone before playing a quick pickup game with them. He told them to follow their dreams like he and his friends have.

“This is a basketball court, and we see basketball hoops, but it teaches you so much more than just basketball,” he added. “To be able to make things that will last forever and get along with other people.” A lot of people say you’ll forget what you did in high school. We became friends 25 years ago, and our friendship is still strong. This is our way of paying it forward and giving back to you guys.”

Then James was playing and passing with the “Fab Five” from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School: Dru Joyce III, Willie McGee, Romeo Travis, and Sian Cotton. The group won a state title and became famous across the country as James went from being a kid in Ohio to a professional star.

Dru Joyce, who used to teach him, was also there.

James, who is spending more than $1 million to improve the school in many ways, dunk to break in one of the new hoops but missed a couple of long 3-pointers.

He will soon start his second season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He is 34 years old. James missed the playoffs for the first time in nine years last season because his team didn’t make it.

After going out on the court, the four-time MVP did not talk to the press.

James and the Akron Public Schools worked together to build the school, which gives kids who are at risk a safe place to learn.
