LeBron lands Wheaties box cover

LeBron James is getting his own Wheaties box.

The Los Angeles Lakers star was announced Wednesday as the latest athlete to adorn the cover of the orange box, taking over from Serena Williams.

James is joined on the cover by students and staff from his I Promise School in Akron, Ohio, which opened its doors in 2018.

"Growing up where we come from, to see my I Promise kids and families from Akron, Ohio, represented on the iconic Wheaties box means everything," James said in a statement. "The movement we've started in Akron is about doing our part to uplift our community by first listening and then responding with the resources they need. We will continue to do everything we can to create a better future for our kids and our community, and it starts with the students, teachers, and everyday champions you see on this box."

The cereal will hit store shelves in the U.S. in the next few weeks.
