If you dont know who's on the front row, leave this forum immediately. On the back row from right to left Attorney and former mayor of Cleveland Carl Stokes, Walter Beach (Browns), Bobby Mitchell (Washington Redskins), Sid Williams (Browns),Curtis McClinton (Kansas City Chiefs), Willie Davis (Green Bay),Jim Shorter (Redskins), and John Wooten (Browns). The crazy thing about this photo was that Kareem was a sophomore in college at the time.

this was an awesome moment in #blackexcellence

If Bron looks up to brothers like Jim Brown, its clear his mind is on point. We need Bron to become as successful and influential as possible, as i'm sure he can be instrumental in battling all the social injustice going on.

Love the player Bron is becoming. Maybe president in 2030?

Cleveland fans are so lucky....
