Child, you really have so much to learn.

I've met Lebron James and his 50 person entourage, and I have Lakers and Golden State players that are regular customers at my bar/restaurant whenever they're in town. My impression of them is strictly a personal one. I'm not "friends" with any of them, but I've seen how some of them treat my co-workers and customers, and it's unpleasant.

If that's what $$$ will do to a person, I think I'll pass. But they were probably assholes and morons before they signed their NBA contracts, so label really doesn't have anything to do with it.

Finally, this former scholar-athlete would like you to take your "shut up and think before you speak" comment and shove it up your ass. Thanks and have a nice day.
