After all that hating on Lebron.......this is what you didn't know!
Remember last year when Lebron had the whole world watching to see where he was gonna take his talents of basketball? Yeah I watched it and I personally didn't mind how he did as long as that brutha got the heck up outta Cleveland. Seems like my causcasian brethren had more issues with his decesion than other viewers but hey at the end of the day this is still Satan's world-right? Anywho, this what I found out about the 2 million dollars that King James raised ended up going to. Peep the following.....
A contribution of nearly $60,000 repaired a leaky roof, refurbished a dingy gymnasium and will pay for a new playground at the Mount Pleasant club on East 131st Street. And the Slavic Village club on Broadway received $70,000, which was used to install a new gym floor and purchase bleachers. The club also is waiting on delivery of 20 new computers.
Both clubs also received a video sports training system and $2,500 worth of sports gear.
In addition to the $2 million cash contribution, James arranged for the donation of $500,000 in computers from Hewlett-Packard and $500,000 in gear from Nike. Fifty-nine Boys & Girls Clubs across the country are receiving help from James.
Kids playing basketball on the new floor at the Broadway Avenue club Tuesday afternoon had a more forgiving attitude toward James than is typically expressed by those who continue to demonize him on sports talk radio.
"I think he deserves to get a ring," said LaBron Sanford, 14. "He just went to a better team."
Dave Archibold, 15, echoed LaBron's sentiments. And he's happy with James' gift.
"This is a good floor," he said. "I'll remember him for that."
The Elyria club received $110,000, money that is paying for a new fitness center and improvements to the basketball court. The club also is getting 15 new computers.
I guess sometimes we just gotz 2 do what we think is right and not worry about pleasing those of us who do nothing but complain. Hey Lebron, I don't expect you to be nothing but a basketball player and me and mine just want to say Thank you for being you..... Now Burn dat!
I am Ward.
