    Wow, so some judge decides he'll recieve "immediate and irreparable injury" from the banishment, and-poof-he's back after 3 games!



    Like he wasn't going to be the first pick in the draft anyway?



    So, if a players good enough you just piss on the high school association's rules?



    I think this really sends the wrong message!

    I hate to wish anything bad on a guy, but imagine if he suffered a career ending injury first game back-"immediate and irreparable injury" indeed.

    Thug Life:



    Those grapes couldn't be any more sour. It's kind of painful to read it.



    Those OSHAA rules are ridiculous, here in Texas if a kid takes something for being an athlete he has 30 days to either return the item or its value before any action is taken.



    If anything these rules need to change.



    If he was a selfish head-case he would've signed his multi-million $ contracts with the shoe companies and started early on living the good life. He's handed two state titles to his team on a silver platter and put those kids on television and given them exposure they would've never gotten otherwise, I don't think they're hurting too bad.

    Not to be argumentative, but that sounds a lot like "take as much as you want. When you get caught, return it within 30 days and move on to taking more stuff. When caught again, repeat procedure." Please tell me there are harsher rules for repeat offenders.

    I heard on the Jim Rome show that LeBron said he thought he was getting the jerseys as a reward "for his school work".



    He should be banned again just for saying that.
