There is nothing wrong with Lebron going to the NBA. A person that has the skills to make it in any proffesion should be allowed in no matter what age they are.

At the age of 30 (me) I will go to the NBA and sit on the bench and hold gatorade cups for 50K a year. The hell with college.

I dealt craps (dice) in the casino and my last year I made 48K, not bad for a 6 week course. and no college degree, and opportunity for advancement to upper management, but they go to, too many meeting on their time.

College is for wimps... to many tech schools out there.

Hey Bill Gates dropped out of college, nobody is saying he has to have a degree.

oh yeah all they have to do is put him with an older Vet and keep him straight, and he will be ok. That is what MLB does and they send all their rookies to class about finances and all sorts of things, if you notice less MLB players are always on the front page doing something stupid.

The NBA has the same type of classes for its rookies

Not to start a race thing here, but what's wrong with a young black man getting paid? I see people all the time act like it's such a shame. A big name that comes to mind is Dickey V. He keeps saying how good a year of college would do for LeBron... why? Coming out of highschool, he's going to get a 12 million dollar contract for 3 years (I believe that's the rookie cap for next year) and at least 20 million dollar shoe deal. That's 32 million this kid is going to have. As long as he's smart with it, he's set for life. It's taking a kid out the hood and making something of himself. If he goes to college and gets hurt, then what is he? Just another broke kid living in the hood trying to survive everyday. I have no problem with LeBron (or anybody) skipping over college if it's going to make you money. Tell me, how many jobs are there that if LeBron went and completed college, he would make at least 32 million dollars in his lifetime?

Yo iggy im totaly with u on this 1 man lebron def deserves the money asap he has put so much work and ™™™™ into becoming the star he is and if he where to go to college and get hurt all that hard work be down the drain...to big a of a risk to take...and let me ask u if u where him wat would u do???

Lebron is going to be a force in the league whether its his first game or his third year. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

he will be excellent

[cardcollector869]

I think he will be decent his rookie year but will need at least a year in the leauge to develop. He's got going to be playing against High Schooler's any more, hes going to be going up against some of the greatest athletes in the world

Nobody should ever be forced to go to college. Having a bunch of athletes going to school that don't want to be there is a distraction to those kids that really want an education. Football and Basketball need to start a minor leagues like baseball so that no one is forced to go to college. It will never happen as there is to much money in college sports, especially football.
