Is Lebron an egomaniac?
If you have read this blog for any length of time, then you would know that I am a huge basketball fan. I think that it’s the best sport to watch and love so much about it. It’s also got it’s problems as well.
I’m a huge Lebron fan. I think he’s incredibly talented and at 25 has a pretty awesome head on his shoulders. “I mean he hangs out with Warren Buffett” as my friend Julio told me yesterday! But during this whole free agency spectacle (which I absolutely love) I’ve had to ask myself the question, “Is Lebron an egomaniac?”
Now for most reading this, you think basketball is just a bunch of thugs, getting paid millions to play a game. Some of that is true, but there are basketball stars that really desire to make a difference in their community. Lebron has always been one of those guys. Athletes have always been a special type of people to me as well, because they make most of their money before mid 30s (if they’re lucky) and then have to live off of that for the rest of their lives. It’s definitely a different profession.
But with all the frenzy going on right now and Lebron just announcing that he’s having a special on Thursday night to announce his decision, I was definitely skeptical about the reports that he’s just a jerk milking people for money. But then I saw this story on ESPN about Lebron giving all the advertising dollars to the Boys and Girls Club of America. An organization that he has been heavily involved in since he entered the league. Now I don’t think he doesn’t have a huge ego, cuz let’s face it, he’s gonna be a billionaire and probably the greatest basketball player the world has ever known. But I definitely rethink my egomaniac vibes I was getting temporarily.
What do you think about all these shenanigans with free agency?
