For many African Americans, LeBron James—who will one day be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame—is a hero. The way we, the people, respect the queens in his life is a constant source of pride.

The four-time NBA champion recently gave his mother Gloria a set of expensive wheels for her 54th birthday. Her son bought her a white Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV, also known as a “G-Wagon,” and it was the ideal vehicle for her.

She posted the picture to Instagram with the remark, “Thank you, my loving and giving son, King James, for my early surprise birthday gift!” You’re always thinking of ways to cheer me up and take some of the edge off. I will forever be in love with you. Plus, there were birthday balloons in the car’s backseat.

Gloria raised LeBron all by herself, even though she was just 16 when she gave birth to him. It must have been worth it, despite the difficulties she faced in raising the man who is today regarded as one of the best NBA players of all time. He certainly appreciates her efforts and understands their importance.

Given that LeBron had a difficult upbringing, it is understandable that he wishes to improve the lives of people around him. Through the power of education, the LeBron James Family Foundation, which he founded, strives to better the lives of children in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. In 2018, I Promise, a public school, began accepting pupils with the intention of catching up to those who had fallen behind. Furthermore, there is I Promise Village, a temporary housing facility.

The musician firmly believes in the proverb “charity begins at home,” despite his public demeanor. The fact that he is still giving his mother flowers while she is still alive should serve as a lesson to all of us.
