What is the name of the street in Akron, Ohio renamed in honor of LeBron James?

The Akron, Ohio, street renamed in LeBron James’s honor is King James Way. It is a section of downtown Akron’s Main Street, reflecting James’s lifelong connection to his hometown.

Akron announced the honorary name in June 2016, shortly after James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first NBA championship. The Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in the Finals, overcoming a 3–1 series deficit and ending Cleveland’s 52-year major-sports championship drought.

The name is a playful reference to James’s nickname, “King James,” rather than a replacement for every part of Main Street. Reports commonly describe the honored stretch as lying between Market and Exchange streets. Visitors may therefore see both Main Street and King James Way used in references to the same downtown area.
