LEBRON JAMES, DWAYNE WADE AND CHRIS BOSH WERE GIVEN KEYS TO THE CITY EARLIER TODAY

Ok…does anybody know what the hell giving somebody “a key to the city” means? Seriously. Give these guys a key to my apartment so the next time I forget my keys and am locked out of my apartment at 3am, I don’t have to sleep in the hallway. “LeBron it’s Nate…sorry…yeah, locked out again…I don’t know, I think in my golf bag?...Thanks man, really appreciate it…yeah, I’ll be in the hallway.” Sounds like a pretty prestigious honor.
Probably should also be noted that in 1980, Saddam Hussein was awarded a key to the city of Detroit by Mayor Coleman Young. Kind of makes hearing that Terrell Owens has a key to the city of Buffalo sound not that ridiculous.
