Yeah, youre right about that, I don't know but it's just the things that this kid says, it reeks of greed and selfishness. There have been plenty of 18 year olds going to the NBA that didn't give this impression, Kobe Bryant for one. I know there wasn't the media frenzy that Lebron has, but Kobe strikes me as someone who loves to play basketball. My point is you should be loyal to the game, not your endorsement deals.

You said it right there though. No one has had the media exposure that Lebron has had. No one was given as many opportunities to stick their foot in their mouth as often as LeBron has. I am not saying I like what he said. But I am not at all shocked by what he said. It seems rather normal to me for an 18 year old kid.
