There's a reason that I listed NCAA as an option in my original post.
Because Ohio State fans support all of our 38 scholorship Buckeye teams?

What team does he play for? We might not know for another month or two. I don't watch basketball, I just like James cause he seems like a decent guy.
We will most likely know this week.
Hard to say just yet. It seems like there are really only a few teams, realisitically, that would seem attractive to him that have the resources. We'll see in the coming weeks.

I'd like to see him stay with Cleveland but that's beginning to seem like a long shot.
If Kobe just signed a 3/yr $90 Million deal, then because the whole world wants to suck LeBron's dick, he should get 3/yr $100 Million. But I think there's a cap.

Yeah there's a "cap", but I've never meant an NBA team that couldn't get around it.
