This is a joke...the mother is no way able to afford the Hummer, and that got past the OHSAA, but now they said he went to far.

He may pull one of those "If I don't play for L.A. Lakers or N.Y. Nets, I'm going to college" stunts to avoid being drafted to the Cleveland Cavaliers, I think.

He is soon going to sign several multi-million dollar contracts. ANY bank would be happy to loan his Mom the money, based on future earnings. And that is NOT illegal.

No way will he be able to use the "I'm going to college" threat as he's gonna' grab the sneaker money right away and once he does that it's the NBA or European Ball.

Will the NBA rig the draft lottery....like they allegedly did for Pat Ewing?...me thinks so.

Would you loan her the money with no payments for a year in exchange for a bump in the interest. I would...in a heartbeat (If I had it...LOL).

I would say that the NBA was going to rig the draft lottery again in order to send him to a "name" team and not the Cavs, but my understanding is they have to pull the ping pong balls publically this year after a few teams threatened to sue last year. Right now he might end up drafted by the Cavaliers....which would bump their value and perhaps result in the team being sold. Certainly it would revitalize the NBA in northeast Ohio.
