— SoleCollector.com (@SoleCollector) June 9, 2015 LeBron James sends autographed sneakers to Spelling Bee champ
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Gokul Venkatachalam quipped that he was looking for a shoe deal after being named the co-champion of the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee, but the teenage sneaker-head told Sole Collector that he got the next best thing: A care package from LeBron James.
The Cavs’ star didn’t need to do anything, but it’s absolutely awesome that he reached out: One champ to another.
LeBron hooked him up with some kicks, so now Gokul can return the favor with some spelling tips! LeBron: It’s “Spelling Bee,” not “Spelling B.”
