As I reread the article and saw more commentary from a male's POV, some more comments came to mind:
1. How legit is the 3.2? Think about it, in most schools athletes get special privileges, especially those of LeBron's magnitude. The school he attend is elite, true enough, but think of all the press they are getting by having LeBron attend and win games, etc. etc. I am sure his teachers are getting pressure to keep him "Eligible" and not to load him with too much homework.
2. He may not be able to attend college to play ball before heading to the NBA because of all the endorsements and special gifts he has received from NIKE, ADIDAS, etc. But even if he did, how likely would it be that he went if it meant getting GHETTO AZZ GLORIA a house and other materialistic showings.
3. Who is really watching out for this boy's (because he is still a child) interests outside of basketball and AFTER basketball is over? Has anyone given him the talks? You really cannot expect MJ or Iverson or Kobe to give him the real deal talk on how to handle his business as an NBA star. He needs a STRONG mentor like Mr. Walker but one who is in the NBA.
I am glad that anyone is blessed with a talent, especially one of this magnitude but does he know how to handle it in all its aspects?
