Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James will donate $2.5 million in support of a Muhammad Ali exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.
James, the LeBron James Family Foundation and business partner Maverick Carter are pledging the donation for the exhibit called "Muhammad Ali: A Force for Change."
"Muhammad Ali is such a cornerstone of me as an athlete because of what he represented not only in the ring as a champion but more outside the ring -- what he stood for, what he spoke for, his demeanor," James told USA Today.
