really? its that easy to raise 5 millions dollars within a couple of hours? why aren't other big name athletes doing that on a night in and night out basis then?
And just because he's a multi-millionaire doesn't mean he's gonna randomly keep pulling 5mill out of his account to donate. The guy is a businessman just as much as he's an athlete and what he saw in 'The Decision' was an opportunity to make a large sum of money by investing very little time. I wouldn't even have a problem if he kept the money, and any entrepreneur or business person would recognize this, but some idiots don't get it. But the fact that he raised the $ for charity just makes it that much better and a great gesture on his part.
He had a choice, he could've just personally announced his decision and make 0$ out of the whole thing, or cut a deal with ESPN to air this thing and make an easy few mill for a good cause and be okay with the re-tards of the world criticizing him for it, glad he chose the latter. Its clearly a no-brainer and anyone who says shit about this whole thing or hates on it is clearly just a LeBron hater from the get-go or a Cavs fan.
