My friends and I have had this discussion a million times. I've read articles about LeBron before. I am really afraid for him. As others have stated, his 3.2 means crap. I went to a serious basketball high school. I heard with my own ears a teacher tell one of our players, who was showing his @&$ in class, "As soon as basketball season is over, I gonna give you the grade you deserve." I was like, WTF! Also, I have a problem with all of these adults viewing this CHILD as a meal ticket. They do not care that they are not looking out for his best interests. His mother and others, are thinking only of what his talent can gain THEM. I think that he should go to college. Sure, he is a first round draft pick, but college is important. He can grow up a bit, play with a better group of his peers, and perhaps learn something about managing his money. On the other hand, I also hate to think about how colleges also take advantage of these players. They make millions for the school and in return they get a free education (yeah right!). Then if they take money or something, they are villainized! Whew, I'm sorry. Started to think about my man C-Webb there for a minute.
