LeBron buys olympic teammates gifts

[Josh]

LeBron James bought every member of his USA Olympic Team a pair of $350 "Beats by Dr. Dre" headphones for last weekend's flight to China.

That generous rascal.

 

[TallBill]

Yes well that would be comparable to me buying candy bars for all of my coworkers.

 

[RESmonkey]

Oly lift FTW!

 

[Atomic Playboy]

That would be comparable to me buying a pack of Juicy Fruit and telling my coworkers to split it.

 

[Kelvrick]

He still did it. A lot of people wouldn't even think to offer a stick of juicy fruit.

Headphones with a rappers name on it? They'd go right back to the store.

Well I don't see you doing that

Who cares, he did a good thing. Doesn't matter; you guys would criticize if it wasn't publicized.

He doesn't wanna hear your shit while he's trying to listen to his shit on the plane.

Wow, buying a bunch of multi millionaires $350 headphones. That's like a 1 second of his salary on the hardwood.

I don't buy my coworkers a damn thing though, so even a piece of Juicy Fruit has me (and most likely a lot of other people) beat.

I'm sure he got a discount for buying in bulk

HaHa... you do all know these are a Monster Cable product. They just paid to have Dres name on it as I am sure Monster being on it would have a negative on it.

*resists the urge to ask how much they weigh*

 

[uhohs]

nice advertising plan by dre/monster cable.

there's a huge thread on head-fi about these headphone's. only a few members have heard them so far, but supposedly they're decent. but most likely not worth the pricetag when there's many superior alternatives in the same price range. with these being made by monster, you know you're overpaying a decent amount.

$27mil a year, (this year) so he makes about $125 a second to play (oh god...)


It was a very difficult 33 seconds to make the money for those headphones!

Looked at the site. Not only do they look stupid, but it looses points:

Monster....just with his name on it. HAH! Overpriced crap in other words.

Listen to songs how artists intend? Well at least he doesn't expect people to listen to rap with them then.

If that's the case, it's probably like most Monster products - good quality, but not worth the price. Considering they were getting them for free as gifts...what's the problem? Lebron is stimulating the economy, good for him.
