106. Who Is Chris Dennis?


Listen Later

Chris Dennis was one of Lebron James early mentors.  He played a significant role in Lebron's development between ages 10 and 13. As Lebron began to ascend as an NBA star, Chris became the content manager for LebronJames.com.

It was actually Chris who acquired the domain name for the James family during LeBron's high school years to ensure ownership.

Later Chris worked with the Board of Directors, as Executive Director  for the James Family Foundation. He was responsible for developing and implementing a Strategic Vision and focus for the foundation. Chris also managed the planning and administration of all financial and budgeting activities related to program operations.

He says LeBron always dreamed of going to the NBA, and once that dream became a reality, he wanted to give something back. “They always talked about what they would do if they were in a better position,” says Dennis. “The foundation is really a combination of how LeBron and his mom show their love for the community.”

Expect Chris to share his thoughts on: 

 

  • Where he's from and his early days playing basketball
  •  Experiences playing with co-host Leland Johnson (good & bad times)
  • The desire to start a mentorship program
  •  The early journey with Lebron James/and mentorship
  • What he's doing now
  • Plans for the future
