Yet, he handled his business and didn’t talk about the reasons. Shortly after women weren’t holding a grudge and couldn’t even remember not loving him (absolutely amazing!). Why? Because he didn’t call an hour long live TV spectacular to dump Jen for a hotter woman. After tonight no one will ever forget to hate LeBron.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/100709">Bill Simmons: The All-LeBron sound-off - ESPN</a></em>http://markranallo.com/post/790740731http://markranallo.com/post/790740731Fri, 09 Jul 2010 13:31:44 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l4hc86wpnm1qz6y60o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“Never give up.
