Keep That Dick in a Box

All the hoopla around LeBron tonight reminded me of a conversation my dad had in the young men's class he teaches at church.  He asked them to name some athletes who excel at their sport.  They came up with three athletes.

Kobe Bryant.
Tiger Woods.
Lawrence Taylor.

Then he asked what made them great at their sport.  I couldn't help but think of another common factor besides hard work and practice that these guys share.

Kobe Bryant - extramarital affair (consensual after some $$$)

Tiger Woods - extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-
                    extra-extra-extra-extra-extra-marital affair (that's 15 extras
                    if you're counting)

Lawrence Taylor - extramarital affair (not consensual and with a minor)

    I think the point of the lesson may have been lost.
