Our Bonds
                    Like the interlaced chords of a basketball hoop, our lives find purpose from the people and relationships that weave us together as one. Of all the loops and knots we braid into, no bond holds more steadfast than the connection between mother and son. Through its protective embrace, we find an open basket of selflessness and love. From the energy it radiates, we find the resiliency to overcome our greatest obstacles. Vibrant in color like the richness of this relationship, this mural flows with ambition and movement, surging with a swiftness that such a bond inspires. Emerging from the wall with volumetric undulations and motifs, the mosaics reach out in emotion as if unbound by the canvas of the wall. On the left, LeBron’s personal story and relationship – a lifelong commitment of inseparability and faith. On the right, the
manifestation of their enduring connection and the symbol of aspirations of young people around the world – a basketball in masterful motion. We admire those who have reached the top. Here, we honor those who have helped them get there.
