Vaneisha Robinson an amateur boxer, bought a LeBron James pendant for $5.00 at a garage sale. Impressed by her bargain shopping, Robinson decided to have the pendant apprised where she discovered it was worth $10,000.
In the midst of LeBron’s “decision,” Robinson decided to capitalize and sell the pendant on E-Bay. Robinson was contacted by Maverick O. Carter, who is a high school friend of James and CEO of LeBron James marking company LRMR. Carter claimed the pendant was his, and it was stolen. Carter or “Maverick” invited Robinson to his home where he said him and LeBron James would like to negotiate to buy back the pendant.
When Robinson arrived at Carter’s home, neither James or Carter were there. Instead, Carter’s mom and a bunch of neighborhood “thugs” greeted Robinson by blocking in her truck in the driveway and threatening to give back the pendant. Police are now investigating, and Robinson said she was fearful for her life.

Feeling a little frisky, Iglesias kissed a fan while preforming his classic “Hero.” Not a big deal if this guy is going to waterski naked.
Could the Pistons be moving to Las Vegas? A Las Vegas investment firm is trying to bring an NBA team to Sin City. Th group, International Development Management LLC said its close to buying an NBA team, but the sale will only go through if the proposed arena is approved by the county.
The team in question remains a mystery. There are four NBA teams up for sale: Atlanta, Golden State, Memphis, and DETROIT. Despite the Pistons’ history in the Motor City, many are speculating a move to Las Vegas because of the Detroit’s struggling economy.
Karen Davidson put the Pistons on the market after the passing of her husband Bill Davidison, who died at the age of 86 on March 13, 2009. Davidson has said she would like to sell the Pistons to a local owner, but it remains weary if Detroit can still support four sports teams.
Under Davidson’s ownership, the Pistons won their only three NBA championships in 1988, 1989, and 2004.
