But did Nike confiscate the video?

Bear shits in woods and Michael Vick is free. News at 11.

Good work, Buzz.

Just controversial enough to generate some headlines i.e. publicity for the book.

But mundane enough that it doesn't do anything to King James' reputation.

The news is also...blunted, by the fact LeBron admitted this in 2002.

People ask me if it's a hard decision going to the NBA, but I've made harder decisions," he says. "Decisions about smoking or going to school, or stealing from a store or not stealing. Those are harder decisions. Yeah, I smoked weed. When it's around family, around friends, of course you want to try it. I tried it a couple of times. But when you get on the court and your wind ain't there, that's when you've got to just stop doing it. So the NBA decision ain't a hard decision compared to that."

Still, LeBron's PR machine is having a tough summer.

All of it self-inflicted.

I think he's a little too hard on the St. V team. I've seen many instances of big-headed jerks in high school basketball. That team was not even close to being the worst I've dealt with.

Not a story at all. Not sure why this is a big deal. A high school athlete, a premier one at that, smokes the good stuff? Color me shocked.
