That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.

It's really wonderful. It cracks me up when people who don't even live here start yelling, "but, but, but taxes pay for most of LeBron's school!" Well no shit, geniuses. You've figured out how public schools work. Incredible.

You have to be a truly awful human to think the I Promise school is in any way a bad thing. Kind of amazing that there are LeBron haters of that magnitude.

These people are also forgetting that Lebron committed to sending over 1K students to college on a full ride.  About $41M.  I will never hate on someone for actually making a change with his/her actions especially when it is their own money.

Yup. I've lived near Akron since 2009 and IN Akron since 2013. What he does for this city and the people who live here is incredible.

You mean REALLY STUPID KENT STATE GUN GIRL? Because I recall her doing that during one of her "Gotta get my face out there and maybe get famous!" moments.

Yes, she is one of them. But I've also seen similar comments all over social media from randoms and even some people I know. A kid I went to high school with said he doesn't like the school because it's going to make his taxes go up. He lives in Fremont or Lorain or some shit. 😑 He's a LeBron hater because of his politics. It's not even Cavs or basketball related for him.

That girl really peaked at her gun photo and it's been downhill since then.  She was given terrible advice. 

couldn’t give a shit less how Lebron acts during his son AAU games.

I saw Delonte dunk a lot in pregame. 

Heard Vince Carter signed a 1 year contract and, at age 42, if he plays in a game after January 1st that he will be the only player to play in 4 decades.

And he is now assured of spending (up to now) half his entire life as an NBA player.

Brian Windhorst was on the Bill Simmons podcast this week. Windhorst will be following team USA basketball to China in a few weeks and is nervous about the food there because "he's a picky eater." Uh huh, right Brian. 

Sounds like Boogie Cousins may have blown out his knee? What is that, three serious injuries in two years if so? 

Yeah, another ACL, I think? Have to think his playing days are behind him if that's the case.

Anyone else not in the least bit surprised by the recent audio recording of Demarcus Counsins threatening to kill a woman?

Not surprised, no. But in his defense she wasn't going to let his son attend his wedding? I think any parent would agree one of your biggest fears in life is missing out on time with them, especially important events like a wedding. But I wouldn't recommend threatening to shoot anyone, either. 

Now there’s an arrest warrant out for Boogie. What a shitty couple of years he’s having. 

Team USA just barely beat Turkey in OT (93-92) at the FIBA World Cup.  They were down 92-91 with 6 seconds left.  They probably shouldn't send their C or D roster to Tokyo next year.

Team USA wins a second round matchup against the Greek freak and his largely underwhelming teammates.
