Nike 總部一大樓將命名為「LeBron James Building」

為了向籃球界的傳奇 LeBron James 表示友好關係，以及感謝 LeBron James與 Nike 將近 20 年的合作，Nike在 Oregon Beaverton 的總部的第六間全新大樓將會命名為「LeBron James Building」。 而 LeBron James Building 將會座落在 Nike 北部園區，且將會是目前 Nike 團隊所使用建築的五倍大。

▼這間大樓是 Nike Advanced Innovation 團隊的主要根據地，主要負責的項目為所有先驅運動科技的研發，建築物更有 NBA 尺寸的籃球場等設備！  而LeBron James 亦在instagram上作出以下回應：「Man this is so surreal! When I got the call this was happening I couldn’t believe it! I was literally shedding tears. You guys know where I come from but if you don’t I come from the inner city projects, single mother, only child, and statistics would suggest I would never EVER make it out let alone be alive still to tell you about it. Now I’ll have my own building at the Nike Head World Quarter where my family and I legacy will live on forever. The home of the Advance Innovation team and new state of the art Nike Sports Research Lab! Everything will get made and lab tested in my building! Like WHAT?!?!? THIS IS BEYOND CRAZY I wanna thank Nike once again for taking a chance on a 18 year old kid from Akron, OH. I’m proud to be #SwooshLifeForLife 」
