After LeBron James chose Lee Jenkins to write his “I’m Coming Home” essay in July 2014, Jenkins essentially became a household name in the sports and NBA world. Jenkins was a stellar storyteller before he penned LeBron’s essay, but much like any occupation, one assignment changed Jenkins entire career.
Fast-forward four summers, Jenkins has accepted a role within the LA Clippers front office, it is not common to see a media member become a member of a sports franchises front office. However, it is not unheard of either. Take Heat chairman Pat Riley, although he is a former athlete, Riley was the Lakers broadcaster when their head coach was injured in a bicycle accident.
