LeBron James第二本兒童讀物發佈：我的動力是能夠照顧我的媽媽，我將籃球視為唯一出路！

多年來，LeBron James一直以身作則，利用他在籃球場上的實力激勵著孩子們。現在，他想通過講故事的方式鼓舞人心。

週二，LeBron James發布了個人第二本兒童讀物《我們是一家人》，該書講述了五個朋友如何度過人生和籃球賽季。這部中等小說是他第一本出的《我承諾》的後續作品，靈感來自他的同名學校。

引用「我相信孩子們需要一些靈感，我希望為他們的夢想而努力。在中學，發生了很多生活和學習的變化，我在這麼年輕的時候就經歷了很多事情的壓力和不確定——就像我的 I PROMISE 項目中的孩子們今天正在經歷的一樣。通過這本書，我們想繼續分享這個信息。即使感覺生活給你帶來了一堆障礙，如果你努力工作，相信自己和周圍的人，永遠不要讓任何事阻礙你，一切都會好起來的。」

"I believe kids need some inspiration and hope to go for their dreams," James, 36, shares in an email Q&A with PEOPLE. "In middle school, there's a lot of life and learning happening, and I experienced all those feelings of stress and uncertainty about so many things at such a young age — much like the kids in my I PROMISE program are going through today."

"With this book," he continues, "we wanted to continue to share the message that even if it feels like life is throwing you a bunch of obstacles, if you work hard, believe in yourself and the people around you, and never let anything get in your way, everything will work itself out."

引用「這本書的核心基礎來得非常容易和自然，因為我可以將很多這些經歷聯繫起來。由一個單身母親撫養長大，並想要照顧她。我把籃球視為我擺脫困境的唯一出路，它成為了社區和家庭的一員，幫助我度過難關，發揮自己的潛力。」

"The premise came very easily and naturally because I can relate to a lot of those experiences. Being raised by a single mom and wanting to take care of her," he says. "Seeing basketball as my only way out of the situation we were in. Being part of a community and a family that helped get me through the hard times to achieve my potential."

他想盡一切努力在籃球界取得成功，因為這是他的熱情，但更重要的是他回饋母親和家人的方式犧牲了一切，他取得了成功。

引用「當我在城內長大的時候，我的動力是能夠照顧我的媽媽。但我知道我不能以一己之力完成。就像Jayden一樣，我有一群朋友和導師，他們更像家庭造就了今天的我。」

"When I was growing up in the inner city, my motivation was my mom and being able to take care of her. But I knew I couldn't do it alone. Like Jayden, I had a group of friends and mentors that were more like family that made me who I am today."
