"First of all, '26 Seconds' is basically an initiative behind kids staying in school," James said Wednesday on Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's weekly show on SiriusXM. "Every 26 seconds a kid drops out of school and that's not good. I think in America, we all know when kids graduate, they have a better future in life."
In a separate interview Wednesday before his Miami Heat hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder, James later said he was "blown away" by the dropout-rate numbers.
"It's a staggering statistic," James said. "You would never think in your wildest dreams something like that happens. So it was a no-brainer for me to be part of it."
*We like it!
