Number 23 and Me

Wayne Pounds

This is not just a sports story. This is not just a political story, nor is this just a pop culture story. This is a story about a script written in 1984 about a star baller, who cares deeply about his community, has no father in the home, with the last name James who skipped college and went straight to the pros just like Lebron James. I believe and will testify to all facts herein. I believe that this is a prophetic message to our nation sent 35 years ago from God for today.
