The 2011 LeBron James Greater China Tour wrapped up with Opening of Nike Festival of Sport »

The 2011 LeBron James Greater China Tour ended its successful journey with a coaching clinic and the much-anticipated opening day of the first annual Nike Festival of Sport in Shanghai. The Game Changers basketball coaching clinic, held this morning at Shanghai Sports University, is an ongoing program aimed at teaching college students the importance coaching has in children’s lives. LeBron James practiced alongside the future coaches before delivering a speech on how adult coaches are able to positively influence the development of young minds through athletics. After snapping photos with the 100 participants, James went to a Nike Store located near People’s Square to talk about the Nike Festival of Sport with national Chinese media and to greet fans. Asked to give a review of the tour overall, James responded emphatically. “It’s been unbelievable to see the reception I’ve gotten, and to see all of these people who love the game of basketball and who are inspired by the game of basketball,” said James.

The 2011 LeBron James Basketball Tour Visits Chengdu (China) »

Located in the western part of this geographically diverse region, Chengdu is considered by many Chinese as one of the best travel spots in all of China for its relaxed pace and friendly people. The first day in Chengu commenced with a visit to a local Nike Store to unveil the new Nike Max Air Ambassador IV and new releases of his Nike Sportswear line. On arrival, LeBron James was presented with a gift from the city of Chengdu – a hand painted scroll depicting one of the area’s most treasured icons, the panda bear. James sat down in front of a crowd of journalists to discuss the release of his shoes and clothing collection. Joining him was Jason Petrie, who has worked with James in designing several shoes over the years, including these latest Ambassadors.

The 2011 LeBron James Basketball Tour Kicks Off in Taipei »

The 2011 LeBron James Basketball Tour kicked off its four-city journey this afternoon in Taipei, Taiwan, at the Taipei World Trade Center. Today’s focus was on two training sessions for two very special groups of basketball players, the children of the Eden Social Welfare Foundation and the Chinese Taipei U-19 national team. After warming up for ten minutes with two leading U.S. coaches, the group was joined by James, who came out to a loud ovation from the crowd and high fives from the kids. Shortly after, James joined the kids in various dribbling and shooting drills, where he could be heard encouraging the campers and even busting out a line or two of Mandarin, with hao qiu, meaning “nice play,” as his go-to. Aimed at both promoting grassroots basketball and serving the needs of local communities in Greater China, the tour will span eight days over four cities, Taipei, Chengdu, Xian and Shanghai. He debuted the upcoming shoe from his new collection… the Nike Zoom LBJ Ambassador IV.
