MVN Live announces NBA Live '09 contest winner
Thanks to the folks at Gillette and EA Sports, the guys gave away a free copy of NBA Live '09 for the XBOX 360 on yesterday's Wednesday Night Tip-Off Show.
The question posed to our listeners was, "Instead of a buying a brand new Hummer H2, what would you have done with the $80,000 that LeBron James' mother received when he was a senior at St. Vincent-St. Mary?" The best and most colorful response came by way of Jon from The City of Brotherly Love:
--
80K the Bron Bron Way
"With $80,000, LeBron's moms was definitely trying to buy her baby a phat ride. No knocking that. So, your boy needs a car. He's also 6'8" and 240 pounds, so no Fiats. Your manchild needs room. So, here's what I suggest:
Forget the Hummer. Get him a vintage 1957 DeSoto Adventurer! A car Snoop Dogg would be proud of! Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1I4Pp15ato
You've got to go with the white with gold trim! Get some hydraulics in that mother and Bron gets his pimptastic ride for half the cost!
With the other 40 G's, Momma can get a make over. Hair, nails, facial -- the works. Then she buys a fur coat. Cause the mother of the best basketball player needs to look good.
How much does an oxygen chamber cost? With whatever is left, buy a donkey cause you know Bron's back will be killing him from carrying his teams!"

We'd like to thank Jon and all the other listeners who sent in their responses. Thanks for your support of MVN Live and we hope to hold more contests like so in the future. We'll see you next Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET for the Maui Invitational Preview!
