I found it really interesting to read the comments on the post about "LeBron James' school"^ and the first major post about the black hole image. The recent LBJ story was a decent and constructive discussion, though I do remember when it was first announced here (or r/NBA) that a few people thought his role was overplayed. There are some parallels between both stories with what gets media attention (a name and face) and what can serve to inspire (athlete with undereducated kids, woman in STEM, etc). ^ https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19668821 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19668821
