Parents feel their kids entitled to play w/o putting in the work. Sad! Hmm?
stevenash Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 A microcosm of the prevalent attitude about life in general in our society today.
no-look Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe we should all be like my wife....Wait till they are on sale....Three hundred dollar pair for One hundred....Saves two hundred....just cant figure where the other two hundred is......lol
stevenash Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 I suspect it was "invested" in some more sales/savings
BADSANTA Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 I'm at Memorial City Mall right now with my co workers. Just went by Footaction and the manger told me they got 13 pair of the Lebron shoes at 315. He said they will sell out in less than 5 minutes.

If they are 300 and a kids has them, let him enjoy his. Maybe his parents have that kind of disposable income. Lebron Lso makes cheaper shoes as well and Jordan. Things that are high fashion always have a price tag. The reason is they aren't meant for everyone to have. Just like houses, cars, and jewelry.

stevenash Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 And it's killing him to think he made a point that represents the conservative point of view.

2-2-1 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 Man...we REALLY need some basketball to get started so we can discuss something that matters lol.Only on a SETX HS basketball forum can a thread start off talking about LeBron shoes and end with politics.
