Milwaukee Wave News Release


MILWAUKEE -- Since entering the NBA directly out of an Akron high school, LeBron James has become one of the brightest stars in sport.

Last season, James improbably led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals. Still just 23 years old, he is authoring an otherworldly season in 2007-08 - 30.1 points per game, 8.2 rebounds per game and 7.5 assists per game. Off the court he is a marketing icon who handles himself with a maturity beyond his years.

James on Tuesday became the latest major celebrity to ink his signature to the Wave of Kindness Harley-Davidson.

"LeBron James' talent and charisma combine to make him the one of the biggest sports stars in the entire world," said Matt Schroeder, director of public relations for the Wave. "It's hard to say now who is the biggest name on the bike - James, David Beckham or Pele. But LeBron is in the conversation."

All season long, fans can buy raffle tickets to win the 2008 Sportster XL 883 that has been painted a special Milwaukee Wave blue and will be autographed by various celebrities throughout the winter. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5 and can be purchased online at www.milwaukeewave.com and at all Milwaukee Wave games.

The winning ticket will be drawn at the Major Indoor Soccer League championship game on April 26 at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

Raffle proceeds will benefit Wave of Kindness, a nonprofit organization that brings soccer to inner-city youth through camp scholarships, game tickets, clinics and more. For more information on Wave of Kindness, visit www.milwaukeewave.com and click on the Wave of Kindness link.

Suburban Motors of Thiensville is the Wave's partner on this project.
