Kicks: LeBron James x Upper Deck Will Auction Off Nike LeBron Xs
LeBron James and Upper Deck have teamed up to further support the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, that took place in Newtown, CT last December. Just a day after the mass shooting, LeBron and the Miami Heat played against the Washington Wizards, where he wore a personalized version of his Nike LeBron Xs to show support to the victims and their families. The White/Navy-Red Nike LeBron Xs were customized by King James himself using a Sharpie with the words “NEWTOWN, CT” written on them in various places. The game was touching to everyone in the American Airlines Arena that night, especially for LeBron and his teammates as they brought their children onto the court for a moment of silence during the pregame introduction. LeBron showed that he was greatly affected by the tragedy then, and almost 3 months later he still feels the need to take action and help. So, with the help of Upper Deck LeBron will be auctioning off his personalized LeBron Xs next month with his autograph on one shoe, and added words “VS. Wizards 12/15/12 Never Forget!!” on the other. All of the proceeds from the auction will go directly to those victims of the Newtown tragedy through the LeBron James Family Foundation. Check out pics of the sneakers after the jump…

NBA: (Photo) Wizards Fan Will Pay YOU To Go To A Game!!
The Washington Wizards are a joke and all basketball fans know that. But seems this particular Wizards fan is so fed up, he wants YOU to experience the pain of watching them in person. This fan placed an ad on Craigslist, literally offering to pay someone $10 for 2 tickets to the Wizards game this Saturday December 8th. The ad does not appear to be a joke. He is tired of the mental stress that comes with going to a game, including the stress of watching the Wizards play, the traffic in the D.C. area, the stress of the cost of drinks and food at the game, and the stress of losing valuable time in your life watching the Wizards instead of doing something else. This fan went in lol. All he asks for in return is that you take a picture of yourself at the game in the first quarter and at the end of the game. He also wants you to actually wear some Wizards gear, and he wants you to write a paragraph about your experience…seriously! As long as you do that, he will then pay you the $10, and you still got the free tickets. Check the picture of the actual Craigslist ad above. IamJOE357
