You may have heard of it: the I Promise School, built and opened in 2018 by LeBron James, who had just joined the Los Angeles Lakers. Schuler, it should be noted, is the legal guardian of a student at the Akron public school just two blocks from the new Starbucks. It’s given me insight into it that I didn’t have before.” “I went from being at Starbucks as a barista to being a manager, and it’s given me a whole new outlook on hospitality as an industry. “It’s changed my life a lot,” Schuler said of her experience. The manager of the new Starbucks store, Alexis Schuler, has spent the last year working in stores on the campus of Kent State University, and next to iconic Goodyear Rubber Co., to take what she learned back to her new coworkers. It’s an entirely new way to think about job training, which is typically done at community colleges and vocational schools where the students aren’t being paid for the pieces of paper they get that they hope one day opens a door for them into the career field of their choice. If we continue to make the first shot difficult and then all five guys participate, that gives us our best chance.The 46 people who work there are all being paid an hourly salary, but on top of the money are earning valuable job-training certificates for the hospitality industry. He plays off their penetration and shots well. That's our priority and then we have to have all five guys in there getting after it. "I know it's more important that we make them miss first. "If you help, then he's active on the boards," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. Thompson's uncanny ability to come up with rebounds has been an issue since last year's Eastern Conference finals when he averaged 11 rebounds during Cleveland's four-game sweep, outplaying Millsap and Al Horford, a pair of All-Stars.Ītlanta's dilemma "” and this is true for any Cleveland opponent "” is that when a second player commits to guarding James, it makes it easier for Thompson to rebound. While they did a serviceable job on James, the Hawks were unable to stop Kyrie Irving (21 points) down the stretch, they scored one field goal in the final 4:29 and they couldn't handle Tristan Thompson, who snared 14 rebounds, including a vital one on the offensive end that led to James' game-sealing 3-point play. The Hawks may need a new strategy to prevent the Cavs from taking a 2-0 lead. That's hardly preferential treatment for a superstar.Ītlanta did all it could to slow him down, and James still posted 25 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and five steals in 40 minutes as the Cavs improved to 9-0 against the Hawks in the postseason. But to this point in these playoffs, the four-time MVP has only tried 16 free throws in five games. James gets his share of favorable calls, no doubt. The Hawks then enjoyed a 5-on-4 advantage for several seconds before James lumbered up the floor still smarting from Millsap's blow. Sprawled next to a few photographers on the baseline, James held his head as play continued without him. On one late sequence, James got whacked in the face as he drove to the basket by Atlanta's Paul Millsap and crashed to the floor. "We just got to continue to play through it and got to continue to keep attacking and, hopefully, we'll get those calls." "When he attacks the basket, he's so strong and athletic and he goes with so much force that a lot of times, guys are bouncing off of him, but still, those are fouls," said Lue, who improved to 5-0 in his first postseason in charge.
