LeBron's New Hummer

[GonzoStyle]

do you feel it is ok for an amatuer to take gifts?

No.

It's ok since Lebron hasn't been an amatuer since he picked up a ball.

I agree with lupica.

If countless people can make money off him by putting his face on espn, sports magazines, sneaker promotions, newspapers, etc. Why can't the kid accept a gift for his talent?

Amatuer is just a coprorate sports term for 'explot them because we can'.

He's making money for his school, for the city, it's a ripple effect.

It is very easy to sit there on the other side of the fence and judge. But it is no secret that these kids get money, gifts etc. When you come from nothing and all of a sudden someone offers to help pay the bills and give you all the things you dreamt of, you don't turn it down. It's easy to judge when it ain't your bills to pay.

All these people who say these kids should finish college instead of going pro. So they have something to fall back on? They're making millions a year. Yeah he should turn down making a few million so he can get a degree that will sercure him a 60,000 dollar a year job when he's done making his millions.

Like they even pay attention when they do attend school, they just coast through.
