High school basketball player LeBron James was declared ineligable for the remainder of the season for taking "gifts from a merchant. A $450 basketball jersey, and a $400 football jersey. He has packed gyms this year more than most pro teams, and he's one of the most reconizable basketball players right now. I was

How stupid is all thats happened

[yenz12]

I like your entry. I was reading about it yesterday after my dad told me about it. How stupid is it that they are saying each high school that he's traveled to has made on average $50,000 for the games he plays in on there little tour across the country. He's one of very few players they are giving this much attention to find something wrong so they can take down his excellence. I heard a kid from Alter which they are suppose to play real soon drives a Hummer too and noone has said a word to him

someone had it in for him. maybe not the owner, but someone who knew about it.

to be honest, i think the hummer is a big deal because its known that his mom doesn't have a job, and his dad is in jail. seriously though, if you're running a car dealership...are you going to turn down his mom for a new car? he wants to be the guy who sold lebron his new bad ass hummer.

the thing that frustrates me the most is they prolly could have busted him for 50 other things that are worse, but they pick this. not only that, but they only take 2 days to decide to suspend him. and its shitty that its going to take 2 weeks to appeal a decision that took 2 days.

my guess is he'll be reinstated before the big tourney...its just a shame that not only him, but the whole team/community has to go through this bull shit. a bunch of old white guys on ego trips. like i said, sad day.
