We told you he’d totally be into it – “sources close to LeBron” say he’d consider Euro offers in 2010 if they start at $50M per.
Why? It’s good for the brand. Good for the brand. Good for the brand.
And frankly, it would be good for the brand – he goes for a year, becomes a European sensation/icon, and comes back to the NBA.
Opponents to this line of thinking say an NBA title is better for the brand than a Euro title – people who aren’t delusional know that “winning” in any league is about number 4 on Lebron’s lists of things to do.
(BTW this list is flexible for LBJ – for example, today the list is: 1) See Pineapple Express 2) Make money 3) Practice with Team USA 4) Winning)
Thank Zeus he mailed in the last two pre-Olympic exhibitions right as we’d declared we were gonna re-drink the Kool-Aid. Now we don’t have to go through the misery when he leaves – we’re back to not caring.
Although, we imagine it’ll be easier if he leaves for Europe than for elsewhere in the NBA.
Alas…today’s additions to the movie list(s) are:
Three Kings, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Perfect Storm, Spy Kids, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Michael Clayton, Courage Under Fire, Chasing Amy, Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan, Rounders, Dogma, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Finding Forrester, All the Pretty Horses, The Majestic, Stuck On You, Jersey Girl
One of these lucky films found a warm home in the bottom ten. Enjoy your European lifestyle, Earl Boykins – we’ll always remember you.

Let me see if I get this; ESPN is reporting that someone who should know said that there is a probability that if a hypothetical $50M per year is offered that Lebron James would consider playing in Europe? Or did I miss something?
I think this whole thing is a big game of telephone from my post from two weeks ago the day Childress signed. Now some Euro team hears he’ll come, and they get the idea to make the offer. LeBron leaving is all my fault. Blogs are bad.
fuck! i just got fired. oh well. it happens .
just out of curiosity, Mr. Cavalier, how do you pay the bills? none of my business, just curious.
I’m a puppy assassin. Sorry to hear aboot the job…
i guess fired isn’t the best word. I was laid off as part of a budget restructuring due to an acquisition. It’s not like i walked around the office naked or something, and got fired. It’s all good, law school starts in two weeks! one day i’ll make good money… one day.
How can you make a list of the best movies before Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 comes out?
>>law school starts in two weeks! one day i’ll make good money… one day.

At least you’re in it for the right reason.
“it’s not like i lost my job, it’s not like oh where did my job go, i can’t find it. I QUIT!”
Who knows what movie thats from? And why isn’t it on the list? It’s top 10 on mine…
Sam this list is ALL ABOUT Traveling Pants 2 – I needed some bold, dramatic way to be able to declare it’s the best movie I’ve ever seen.
I did see Pineapple Express today…
Well you did put Jersey Girl on your list soooooo ya might as well add Traveling Pants.
Jersey Girl? WTF?!?! If thats on there then Mallrats, both Clerks, and Jay and Silent Bob strike back better be on it as well and much much higher….
I don’t know why I’m saying they better be, as if some threat is carried with that. It’s just confusing… like putting Tony Allen in for the first time all game with 10 seconds left to go in a tight game to guard one of the Pistons best players… It just doesn’t make any sense.
seriously – where’s american beauty?
Jeremiah you’re not gonna like this – I’ve seen all of Kevin Smith’s movies (except Clerks II) and by and large hate them. Dogma was in this last batch, btw.
