not if you have the proper support structure and chose friends / confidants wisely... if not, train wreck... this is the biggest concern.. to date, I don't think he has shown good choices in who he is surrounded with...
He needs to look at Maurice Clarett.. for how to do it wrong...
He needs to look at LBJ and Oden .. for how to do it right...
He's got the world by the ass.. but so did Maurice...

May be true, but you only put 12 on a team.

In OJ's corner, I don't recall LeBron repeating this type of behavior since he's been in Cleveland. Nothing but class, and hunger from my point of view. He grew up quickly.
Having said that, LeBron didn't have another year left in which he was still in school. Impossible to tell what will happen, but it's clearly up to OJ himself (and not like, Tim Floyd, or anyone).
EDIT: Huge Lakers fan here.

And if Lebron did it, that must make it classy, right? |

honestly i could careless. its just interesting people say things like that move was trash. then say "he should act like lebron" when lebron pulled similar stunts in hs.
its up to oj. he has a great oppurtunity and truely has the ability to make something for himself. will he? oj himself will decide that.
