Following appearances on ESPN and the Open Run podcast, LeBron James brought his media tour to "The Daily Show" on Wednesday night, where he talked about his charitable efforts.

James has partnered with the University of Akron to provide scholarships for students, which led to a humorous exchange between him and host Trevor Noah.

"There's probably kids out that who have come up to you and gone, 'Hey LeBron, I was going to go straight from high school to the NBA but you shut that down. So now I've got to go to college,'" Noah said.

James replied, "I've had kids say, 'Well, Mr. James, you want us to go to college but I read something about you. You didn't go, and I thought it was practice what you preach.' And I was like, 'Well, back then when I had an opportunity, I was a lot older than you, and they didn't have college when I came out of high school.'"
