Hey dude,word is you about to get 70 million dollar's to wear Nike tennis shoes. I would like to recommend you do something that would shed a different light on the public than what we witness most night's by these goon's your about to start playing with.

Take 1/2 of the money, 35 million and do something charitible.You know like abused mother's who have children not as blessed as you have been.......Big picture,it would only cost you 17.5 million to do that.

Ex.1, 70 million -35 million to the less fortunate, -17.5 to the tax man= 17.5 to put in your pocket before you ever score a point in the NBA. People would love you and would be a lot more patient in your development as the next superstar. Your still going to get your multi-million dollar contract,so the 17.5 mil. you put in your pocket should be more than enough.(Does anyone need more than 17.5 million anyway?) (as a bonus mind you?)

Ex.2, Give the tax man 1/2 or

35 million dollars and put the other 35 million in your pocket,(just for wearing a particular shoe,which will be free anyway) and then get your multi-million dollar contract,and then come out here and be a thug like most of the over paid,convict's you are about to start spending your night with.


Bottom line,you could do alot,and set an unprecidented example for the rest of these guy's,be a real hero and role model,or be another spoiled jerk.

I recall the bull luzinski having his bull ring back when for phillies (paid for tix for home game for kids special section), I was a kid and never forgot it ...

Davey did this type of thing in SA, and some others, but overall, I guess they stick the bills in their bank, give to clingons, or waste it on 20 phones and cars, etc.

gl, cu have 1/2 nets, looking good

i took ML to Spurs ML last nite, not too risky but hopefully it comes in

Hey pt1,I stole you lead on the, letter to: but I really feel the guy should step up and do something humane,...

After hearing his use of the english language in his half-time interview,I see why he didn't bother with college..................I'm amazed he graduated............................................JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL :shrug:

i come from lil diff persepctive

i come from lil diff persepctive

than a lot of people (worked with city kids for 25 years) but Lebron seems like a genuinely nice kid so I wish him all the best ... I guess hes buying all his HS teammates new cars ...

One thing people tend to judge kids by their grades, language, etc. but if it doesnt start at home, educationally, the kids are really behind the 8 ball ... If a mom gives her son or daughter unconditional love then U will have have a child to be proud of regardless their mastery of the English language ...

I have worked and helped tutor many kids with writing problems and I cant tell you how many times Ive been moved when they put their thoughts down on paper, sharing their POVs on life ... maybe it doesnt always come out in perfect syntax, but the depth amazes me ...

I hope LeBron makes a difference in life ... personally, from what Ive seen hes a class kid and Id be surprised if he didnt

take care, gregg
