The Knicks Fix

Ralph Nader has tried once again to get LeBron James to try to have a conscience about his riches in a letter sent to the Cavaliers all-star that you can read by clicking here . Nader has reached out to LeBron a few other times -- April 2005 and Dec. 2003 -- about the integrity of his endorsements, whether it was Asian sweatshops that hire children to make his shoes or the obesity problem with children in the U.S. as it is associated with fast food and mainly McDonalds.

LeBron, as usual, did not comment after this morning's shoot-around. He might be available at 5:30 p.m. tonight before the game.

Interestingly, Nader also names Stephon Marbury in the letter. While he credits Marbury's conscientious effort to promote NBA-quality sneakers at an affordable price, Nader questions whether Steve & Barry's also uses sweatshops to make the shoes.

When the Starbury One sneaker line was introduced, Steve & Barry's said they did not use sweatshops.

The Knicks, as usual in back-to-backs, didn't have a shoot-around this morning, so Marbury wasn't available to comment.
