Uncle Lebron Research Paper
Hello, I am Lebrons’ niece Tamela Raeburn (Gass). Daughter of Lawrence Milton Gass who is the older brother of LeBron. I would like to take a moment and take us all back to the early 1980’s. One of my favorite memories that I have of my Uncle LeBron is when I would spend afternoons at their house and work outside in the yard. I would help him cut the grass. We would go for walks around the perimeter of the backyard. After a hot day we would go inside while waiting for dinner and indulge in a refreshing RC cola. Yes, this was my first experience with the delicious taste of the RC. After dinner, waiting on Mom or Dad to pick me up I would hang out in the living room where I remember an aquarium in the living room and I remember Uncle LeBron telling

    What had happened was, in the four months that had passed since that well blew out in the Gulf, my Step Daddy Cade’s job at Carson & Company (They’re a seafood distribution company in Mobile.) had slowed down to a standstill. My Step Daddy Forrest—sometimes I like to call my Step Daddy Cade, Forrest Gump, because he’s born and raised in Alabama, he’s a bit of a dip shit, and he works in the shrimp industry—had spent the last twelve years working for C&C and when that well blew out. It had killed all the fishing in the Gulf real quick. The shrimp industry alone had decreased by more than seventy percent virtually overnight, which meant, everyone in the area who had depended on the Gulf for their livelihood was now hitting the unemployment…

    This documentary focuses on the life and contributions of entrepreneur Mark Cuban as an author, innovator, and businessman. Narrated by sports journalist Skip Bayless, most of the documentary is centered on Cuban’s ownership of many different businesses and contributions to the Fallen Patriot Fund. The opening of the documentary shows a video of Mark Cuban on WWE Raw pushing down wrestler Stephen Farrelly. Then, Bayless’ voice is heard saying the following line: “Is Mark Cuban the next John Cena?” After the opening scene, Mark Cuban’s early life is briefly covered from Cuban selling powdered milk and garbage bags to buy a pair of shoes, to him slicing cold cuts in a Pittsburgh deli. The documentary fast forwards to Cuban skipping his senior year of high school to sell stamps to help pay for college. Todd Reidbord, a long time friend of Mark Cuban, talks about the innovative ways Cuban thought of to make money. The documentary explores Cuban’s life at Indiana University and Kelley School of Business. At Indiana University, Cuban opened a pub in Bloomington, Indiana called Motley’s, which became a popular hangout for students and professors. Cuban’s statistics professor at Indiana, Wayne Winston, talks about how he liked the pub and Cuban’s business ethics. At the Kelley School of Business, alumni and friend Jeff Swaney, speaks about him and Cuban partying all the time. The documentary shifts from Cuban in college to Cuban moving to Dallas and becoming a salesperson for Your Business Software. Less than a year into his job, Cuban finalized a large software purchase with a customer and was unable to open the store in time resulting in the loss of his job. Cuban started a company called MicroSolutions and used the customers from Your Business Software to get business. In 1990, Cuban’s ingenuity landed him $6 million dollars and creation of new basketball website called broadcast.com. Todd Wagner, a close friend, helped Cuban with the website increasing revenue from…

    The next review that was written by Basketball Dad on theMDsports was similar to the first one. He talks about how long it took to put it together and basically says you better give yourself a lot of time. He talks about his three kids playing with it and that they love it and get a lot of use out of it (Basketball Dad par.3), which is one of my criteria. He is currently waiting for some replacement parts to be sent in to fix the rims that started breaking and says “I will update my review and add more stars if the company stands by their product and we get the replacement parts through the warranty” (Basketball Dad par.3). He expresses some concern that the item was inexpensive and he hopes that it will last a lot longer once it gets repaired. It appears he has some concerns that because of the price the item might be cheap and not last long. This review seems to be written for anyone who is interested in purchasing this item it doesn’t seem to be targeted toward one certain group of people. Possibly parent more than anyone because he does talk about his kids getting a lot of use out of it letting parents know that it is enjoyable to the kids. He also says that he expects it to break but only after normal use.…
