The 2003 Hummer H2 that LeBron James received as a present from his mother for his 18th birthday will be one of two vehicles with ties to the NBA that will go on the auction block next week.
The other vehicle is a one-of-a-kind 2002 Aston Martin Vanquish that was produced for the 50th anniversary of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Bidding will start at $50,000 for the Hummer and $30,000 for the Aston Martin.
A few eyebrows were raised, and clearance had to be given by the Ohio High School Athletic Assn., for James to keep his eligibility after Gloria James gave the heralded high school star the gift when he was a senior.
