Hey, I have a great idea...let's all just NOT WATCH THE SPECIAL and NOT BUY ANY PRODUCTS THAT PURCHASED ADVERTISING TIME and let ESPN bomb in that time slot. Pass this on to everyone you know, all over the country, especially to those dilberts who believe that ESPN writers, producers, and talking heads actually know the first thing about sports.

yea it's self indulgent - but we're talking about THE best player in the league and he's not in the top 20 in salaries. He's due, and he'll get what's due very soon. I hope he joins the heat and starts stacking up rings. Anything to not have to watch Adam Morrison get another ring while wearing a cheap horrible suit on the bench. I still have nightmares after watching him during the postgame celebration after game 7

I absolutely agree, Pick. I'm pretty much done with LeBron's cockiness. His shameless self promotion smacks of arrogance and classlessness.

Also, donating all the proceeds to charity doesn't justify the event. In fact, if anything, it's insulting to those who are force fed the idea that this whole event is a good thing.

If LeBron wants to eventually go down in history as one of the greatest, he needs to work on his performance on the court (when it matters most) and his humility off the court.

Ugh, sorry for the triple post.

Donating money to charity is insulting to people? Who knew??

All I know is that I could care less where loser Lebron goes, it don't matter to me....

I cheer & follow the OKC Thunder, I'll watch Lebron play when he is on the court with KD, RW, James Harden, SERGE IBAKA, Eric Maynor, Nick Collison, Thabo & Cole....

Mgsooner, it's insulting because he isn't doing this for charity. The only reason charity is attached is so that he won't be even further criticized for creating such a pompous and self-indulgent event. Like The Pick said, if he really wanted to do something for charity he could write a big check himself.

Regardless of what this "special" entails, it shouldn't be happening in the first place. I don't think it is a knee-jerk reaction to say that the guy is an attention craving egomaniac. This is the same guy that campaigned for himself by wearing a t-shirt that said "LBJ 4 MVP."

A charity event at the Boys and Girls Club in Greenwich, Connecticut? What a joke! That is one of the wealthiest communities in the country. The boys and girls probably play polo (the equine variety). LeYawn James is a perfect representative of the NBA: a bunch of self-promoting, arrogant, high-school dropout, cartoon addicted millionaires.
