I'm not a basketball fan either until the playoffs. Just like the drama of the importance and finality of the games then.
Now; on to Mr. James. I gotta agree w/ya on how he did it. To think that people actually give enough of a rat's a$$ (and apparently they must) for "his" people to ask ESPN for an hour special pertaining to where he chooses to make more money than anyhbody who calls PLAYING a "kids' game"  their job (I'm a firm believer that ALL ENTERTAINERS of any kind are grossly overpaid as compared to law enforcement, the medical field, educators; you get the picture) was and still is arrogant and self-centered.
BUT; then I see where he chose to hold his "news conference" and the fact that all proceeds garnered from the advertisers who purchased "spots" during that hour were to be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the venue of choice, I gotta say "hmmmm". I still believe him an arrogant a$$ but $2,500,00 (that's two million, five hundred thousand dollars) will hopefully go a long ways in helping that orginization.
I also would like to see him, Bosh (sp.?), and Wade investigated for collusion. Afterall; when the owners get  together to "plot" the outcome of dealings in league affairs are charged w/collusion, I believe players should be too. I feel it gave Miami an unfair advantage and lessened the chances for the other teams (Cavaliers, Knicks, Bulls, Nets, Clippers) involved in the "LeBron James Show" to be able to make a viable offer at signing him. But such is the new way in "organized crime" I guess.
