Three thoughts.
1) I'm glad they didn't run a picture of the official standing with James. He's not a professional, and deserves some privacy I think, even in the middle of doing something fairly dumb.
2) Why is the story running on the NBA page of ESPN? James is a HS player and the official is not an NBA ref. What qualifies this as an NBA story?
3) The answers to the poll question are pretty darn funny.
Question: What do you think LeBron was thinking with that 'slight grin' on his face?
Possible answers:
a) 'For once, someone else is going to take the heat'
b) 'Man, I hope this guy makes it to the NBA someday'
c) 'Maybe this guy can hook me up with a referee jersey'
