Go Ahead, I Dare You

I am issuing a personal challenge to Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. According to ESPN News, these three imbeciles have decided that they will seriously consider offers from European basketball teams when negotiating after their current contracts expire with their respective NBA teams. My challenge to them would be to go ahead and do it, put your money where your mouths are and leave the NBA for the “greener pastures” of Europe. Let’s see how that turns out. We’ll get to see how much your “brands” grow when you are all playing outside the United States and in the obscurity of Europe. It drives me nuts when millionaire athletes make comments like these three just did. It is an obvious negotiating ploy and another reason why half of America couldn’t care less about the NBA. The trio represent the cycle of pampered NBA “ballers” looking for more money and making idiotic comments before they get it. I’m sure leaving the NBA is the answer to their financial “dilemmas.” Give me a break. Half of America may not care about the NBA but the other half seems to make the sport quite popular. I’m sure this trio will be much better off in Europe. After all, what has the NBA ever done for them? I hope they all head over there and are never heard from again so that these “heroes” end up looking like the fools they really are. And David Stern wonders why his league has image problems.
