LeBron Being LeBron?

So, we are all waiting for these games tomorrow and Monday. But there are so many things we should be thinking about between now and then. 
I'm so tired of this underdog loving society, it really always takes a disaster for people to see a problem in America. Now that America's excesses and corporate greed have finally caught up and disturbed the ideals of the classless society that America claims to embrace, people are crying for Michigan State to win the tourney. Ill tell you something, I hope they don't win. Who picked MSU to win the tourney when this all started. So many bandwagons have been cleared then re-filled, I don't even know who to believe anymore. UCONN/UNC in the title game, UNC in a close and exciting game for the title. Sorry Michigan, I do hope, however, this economic crisis opens up the eyes of the modern average American raising 3 children working two jobs and getting buried under debt and credit card interest. NEWS FLASH-WASHINGTON AND WALL STREET SHARE THE SAME BED. CAPITALISM AIN'T THAT GREAT AFTER ALL.
Now, an issue that really makes me think. Streetball apparel and how "ballers" pick their attire for the games. Moreover, how do you profile a streetballer before the game. The profiles in question are diverse. First interesting one is the fella who wears pants. Now, I know initially everyone is hesitant to accept the pant wearing ballers as real ballers at first but I've had experience with consistent pant wearing ballers with skills and athleticism.  I want to remind everyone that Tim Duncan wore pants in Street Vol. 2 and he's the greatest PF of all time. 2nd interesting baller is the 1 earphone in, listening to his ipod while he plays baller. This is a much different case. First, listening to your music during the game could become more of a distraction than a motivation. What if the wrong song comes on? Will you stop playing in the middle of the play? I always thought that the real baller has to be fully in tune with the game. Aware of his or her surroundings at all times. That's how no look passes and nice feeds happen. 
More to come......
