Thank you. You just made my case. I understand how he could get the loan. But don't try to tell me his Mom secured the loan without the benefit of her son's basketball talent.

I guess I don't get your case, unless it's that somehow an 18 year old kid with an 8 figure earning potential does not deserve a $50K loan because he plays basketball. Of course, I could go to the bank tomorrow & get a $50K loan
for my kid's car and no one would bat an eye. And LeBron and his Mom will make more money next year than I'll make next decade. (And I never said this is not about *his* basketball talent.)

Now I'll jump up on the soapbox. LeBron James is an extraordinarily talented young man with an incredible earning potential who can also manage to maintain a 3.5 gpa at a good school. He could have skipped his sr year of HS basketball, taken the money from Adidas & not had a single problem. In this day when the likes of Rasheed & Iverson are giving sports a bad name by "keeping it real" we should all be praising LeBron for bringing some wholesomeness to sports. And we should all hope that it lasts.
