In 2002, LeBron James graced the cover of Sports Illustrated and was dubbed "The Chosen One." At the time, James was a junior at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, and was averaging 29.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. 

Now, more than 20 years later, James' rise from Ohio basketball prodigy to NBA scoring champion is being memorialized. LeBron James' Home Court, a museum dedicated to James and his many milestones, is set to open this month in the basketball superstar's native Akron.

The museum is being billed as a multimedia experience and is expected to feature a re-creation of James' childhood apartment.

The museum is at House Three Thirty, a facility started by James' foundation to serve the greater Akron community.

"My dream was always to put Akron on the map, so to have a place in my hometown that allows me to share my journey with my fans from all over the world means a lot to me," James said. "I’ve been known to hang on to a lot of things over the years, and I always knew there would be a time and place to bring them out."
