Caution: LeBron haters may not like this.

LeBron James made 'The Decision' a year ago, and it is reverberating in a most positive way at the Greenwich Boys & Girls Club that was its setting. - ESPN

Of course. Regardless, I bet most of the people who make him a villain for it don't even know where the proceeds went.

Not really making a point, just sharing the article. The OP came off much more pro-LeBron than I am.

That said, LeBron is like Nazi Germany now?

Except Milo, isn't part of godwin's law that whoever brings up the comparison of hitler or Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever point was being debated

....also by such the thread should pretty much terminate right here and now

Glad those kids got that donation.

Lebron could have also given b&gc without stabbing his home town in the gut.

Or not acting his age and having a college commitment announcement at his HS. Lebron you look 35. Grow up. When is his hairline going to take it's talents to south beach? ( thanks Dwight).
