Lebron pitches in

Too often all we hear about athletes outside the playing field is negative. The response to the destruction wrought by hurricane Katrina has shown the positive. Lebron James is the latest to step up to the plate in a big way.

FAIRLAWN — NBA star LeBron James used some of his muscle Thursday to help load up four semitrucks with diapers, school supplies, food and other items for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The Cleveland Cavaliers forward spent about $120,000 in two hours at a Sam’s Club warehouse store near his hometown of Akron. The goods from his shopping spree will be sent to evacuees in Houston, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Good for Lebron!
