I think the point of the article is, which is the same frustration I have, that our obsession with sports is ruining their very essence. High school basketball is supposed to be played in small gyms, with foldout wooden stands. Stands that are filled with fans who are passionate for their respective teams, led by cheerleaders who haven't a clue who's winning. And, if the game makes it to TV, its just another score in a long line of scores.
LeBron James isn't the problem. He's just the latest symptom of a worsening disease. Let the kid makes his millions. Just don't ruin the game along the way.
