LeBron James reveals he didn't know what a pantry was until high school
“I went to my high school coach's house and I asked him, ‘Can I get a snack or some chips or whatever?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, just go in the pantry.’ I'm like, ‘What the fuck is the pantry?’”
“Where I grew up, everything is on top of the refrigerator. The bread, the chips, the cereal, everything is on top of the refrigerator. I don't know what the hell a pantry is”
“That was my motivation right there. I'm like I got to give my mama a pantry”
