Maybe his mom could take charge, then Delonte could still see Lebron. So does Lebron call Delonte “Daddy”?

KG brought all his boys on board, but didn’t hire them for representation. Lebron probably doesn’t care, but he’d be better off having some people who aren’t his buddies running the business side of things.

Well Dime said in another article that Shaq only wants to play for a contender and the Hawks are not a contending team. I agree with Shaq about only wanting to play for a contender and if I couldn’t I’d retire!

The Hawks need a legit YOUNG center but one their biggest mistakes is/has been Josh Smith’s development.I think Smith could’ve been a superstar player but the Hawks have regulated him to being just a shot blocker and rebounder.

After reading the re-print of the ESPN article that @Atom posted,LeBron has a lotta growing up and most of all learning to do. When you’re rich, going into business with “friends” that aren’t rich, is a sure way to lose those friends & your money.

As a Lakers fan for life, the Diesel could have stayed with us if he REALLY wanted to. He was the highest paid player, bigger than Kobe and OWNED Los Angeles. Kobe had a play in his leaving, but Shaq had it all there except for running his mouth. Now, if you listen to his commercials, he sounds like a British actor compared to when he first gave interviews in the league. My point? He obviously had voice and acting lessons because he KNOWS IT’S OVAH!!! Thanks for the memories in LA LA, big guy!

@control

hahaha that’s exactly the same shit I was thinking!

I was really hoping that like half way through the story it’d be like “And then LeBron and crew busted out a quarter of the finest blow in Miami, and got down.”

Now THAT would make it an article…

“Honestly, if you go to Vegas, party it up, and there ain’t a dead hooker to show for it…then it ain’t a big deal.”

The Lebron article was nothing, but he just can be seen for what he is, he’s just all about having fun and still immature. Got paid $100K, that’s like you and I getting a dollar, he really needs to find better representation. After taking a PR hit and then this, even though he doesn’t do anything its just stupid to put yourself in that position.

You don’t think Lebron and that tight knit crew didn’t know he was a writer for ESPN? If they didn’t want him to publish anything they would tell him, I don’t think they cared if he did since nothing really happened. Another example about his crew being clueless.

Honestly, if you go to Vegas, party it up, and there ain’t a dead hooker to show for it…then it ain’t a big deal. I’ve spent a lot of time in Vegas, and LeBron seems like he partied like 1/10th what most guys would do in his shoes.

LeBron really has to get out of the media’s eye and work on his game though. Get a post game, become the best player you can be.
