Just for you younger folks, Lebron never played for Ohio St.

I just threw up in my mouth. SMH:noidea:

Wow, does Thad Matta even believe the BS he is spewing? "He's very proud of what we've done and just in terms of his name and being from Ohio and the fact we wear his gear," Matta said. "That's important for us." I think SU should have a locker for Lew Alcindor in it's locker room, afterall, he is from NY, and he must be proud of SU because of that. Or a locker for Michael Jordan, some of the guys wear his shoes, he must be beaming with pride, no? I think we all understand what they are trying to do, and it will probably work with some young men who they are recruiting, but some of the more intelligent kids have to just laugh at this, right?

And Scoop dated MJ's daughter. We definitely need a Michael Jordan locker. All of the high school kids will be so impressed.

More reason to dislike OSU. That quote by Matta is completely pathetic. He's proud of how we use his name and being from Ohio? What in the.

This is definitely a little weird, but being from Ohio, Lebron was/is probably a pretty big OSU fan. If the kids dig it, then cool for them.

Wait, so Lebron didn't even donate anything? This seems like trying to convince people you're cool by standing next to the cool kids even thought they don't even know you're there.

Well Lew Alcindor played in NYC and we are central NY. But that's practically the same thing.
