Are you insinuating that Lebron doesn't contribute to society? He makes a ton of money for the NBA and the Cavaliers through ticket sales, merchandise, and advertising, while providing entertainment for me and you. I'd say that's more of a societal contribution than your average Joe.

I got to agree - I never heard of YOU..though your posts aren't bad. Hate to say it but what exactly does the average joe do that 'contributes to society'? Lebron brings at least some limited enjoyment to my life - even if it's involved in rooting against him..

This "I contribute to society" is a lousy way to judge your life, IMHO. I would just concentrate on enjoying it.

The only other starter level player on that team is Ilgauskas, it's actually a testament to Lebron that they won as many games as they did.
