He is supposedly skipping college for the NBA.

The sad part about it to me is that his school is allowed to profit from him, yet he isnt allowed to profit.

I really don\'t see a problem with it. Once he starts making some profit, it\'s no longer amatuer ball. Also, schools are in DIRE need of money. Here for example, many sports are being threatened to be cut due to lack of funding, so I see nothing wrong with the school profiting.

I think people bitch entirely too much about high school and college athletes not being able to profit from their own skills.  Hell, a college athlete gets a free college education.  Considering what I\'ll be paying for mine, that\'s pretty damn good.  And yeah, the schools need the money anyway.

Oh, and I agree with the decision 100%.

you beat me to it luckee! I saw it on the local news at 5:30.   I dozed off and just got up........ He should have known not to take gifts......stupidity in my opinion........they were looking for a way to get him and they did....

the CAVS have the best chance of drafting him .....they are 9-37 and 9-38 after tonights game

The more I think of it, the more I think something is screwy.

They were very smart in getting that H2 through his mother and everything knowing full well and good that in a couple months that kid will have 40+ million in the bank.  I find it hard to believe that he would take these jerseys as gifts.  Unless of course it was presented as like a pseudo holiday gift.  I dunno.  Just sounds fishy.

he\'s already stated he wont play for the cavs because they fired john lucas... so right there that tells you he\'s a pompus ass.

secondly... he just barely got out of trouble LAST WEEK with that Hummer, youd think he lay low for a bit... so that tells you he\'s an idiot.

THIRDLY, AND MOST IMPRESSIVE... he is already set up with a 50 MILLION DOLLAR nike deal when he leaves high school, which is NEXT FRICKIN MONTH!

so your tellin me he couldnt wait one frickin month to have his 50 million then get the jerseys?

and you KNOW hes got some lawer up his ass 24/7 TELLING him what he can and cant do... he knew not to take those jerseys, he knew he was gonna be a multi-millionare in less than 2 months, and he did it anyway.

in my book that all adds up to a 100% grade A moron.


p.s. ive been listening to sports radio all night, and its all they were talking about.

Well, I don\'t know that it was that horrible.  First of all, with the hummer thing, he didn\'t just accept the jerseys just now.  He took them a week ago.  Also, many people familiar with the system say that if it were any other player they wouldn\'t have pursued it.  Because it was James and he was fresh off the Hummer thing, in which you just know they wanted to convict him, he very well may have been targetted.  

As for the Lucas thing, LeBron may not have even said that.  A source reported it, but LeBron has never been documented saying it.  I don\'t know that I\'d trust that just yet.

Another interesting fact for all you talking about LeBron and college ball, James has already lost his NCAA elegibility many times over.  Even if he wanted to, he couldn\'t play college basketball.

What the Kings need to do is trade off Hedo and Bobby Jackson and try to get the first pick....  Then I would have an orgasm

Nah.  The Kings need to win an NBA championship, not worry about highschool players.  The Knicks need to stop winning, and get lucky in the lottery.  Of course, then they would have 3 starting quality shooting guards...

Anyone want Spree?  Anyone?
