LeBron has made enough money. He'd be wise to take a paycut and try to find a great situation this summer.
By The Frankman Go To PostWow he ate that elbow. Or it seemed like it.I kind of hate how the refs just flip a coin on whether they feel like calling that kind of thing. An elbow to the head should be an automatic foul no matter what, it’s not even legal in MMA.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostLeBron has made enough money. He'd be wise to take a paycut and try to find a great situation this summer.Not enough if his goal after retirement is to own a team.
Boston will probably be -7 at home.
Have a feeling this might be the series where not having home court finally ends LeBrons finals streak.

If Boston loses this series, it’s going to be one of the all-time great sports tragedies along with the 2012 Celtics, the 2013 Spurs, the 2007 Pistons, and the 2016 Warriors.
By Stern Go To PostIf Boston loses this series, it’s going to be one of the all-time great sports tragedies along with the 2012 Celtics, the 2013 Spurs, the 2007 Pistons, and the 2016 Warriors.why? no one expected them to get this far.
By unknown Go To Postwhy? no one expected them to get this far.Look at the teams he listed and figure out what they have in common
I don’t understand these Laker fans who are seriously rooting for the Celtics over Lebron. That “is Lebron better than Kobe???” horse left the barn like three barns ago.
This is like the Teen Titans rooting for the Legion of Doom because they don’t want anybody to say Superman is better than Nightwing.

By Stern Go To PostNo one mentioned Kobe but you.
So you just hate the Cavs and Heat then?
By Stern Go To PostNo one mentioned Kobe but you.Okay, Lebron’s better than Lonzo Ball too.

By s y Go To PostGet stuffed by a guy who’s been in the league since you were 7.
By linsivvi Go To PostNot enough if his goal after retirement is to own a team.He probably has, actually .Including endorsements.
He has a lifetime contract with Nike IIRC too.
lbj's nba money is like.... whatever lol
after a certain point your actual contract is just utilities money

But yeah, he'll have made more on endorsements.
By linsivvi Go To PostNot enough if his goal after retirement is to own a team.
So this would be the second team he owns after Toronto?
By pilonv1 Go To PostSo this would be the second team he owns after Toronto?3rd if you count coming back from a 3-1 lead to defeat the 73-9 Warriors and unanimous MVP Steph Curry.
By diehard Go To Postno team will go for less $1B, so he has some ground to make up if he wants to be a solo ownerHe's estimated to have made $320M in endorsements through 2014. That's before his lifetime Nike deal.
eBron earns more from endorsements than any NBA active player and has had deals with Coca-Cola, Dunkin' Donuts, Samsung, McDonald's, Microsoft, and others. Through 2014, Forbes estimated that the athlete had made $326 million from endorsement deals. Even before his lifetime Nike deal, James was on track to make an estimated $48 million in endorsement pay in 2016. Based on these figures, and without including the lifetime Nike deal, LeBron's endorsement earnings are now above $400 million.
He also helped to advertise Beats Headphones and opted to receive an ownership stake in the company rather than an upfront payment – a move that paid off in a big way when Apple acquired the company for roughly $3 billion in 2015. James is said to have made roughly $30 million from the Beats buyout.
Between his NBA pay, endorsement deals, and business ventures, LeBron has likely earned more than $650 million. Factoring in taxes, expenses, and money generated from investments make it likely that his net worth is in the $400 million range even without his most recent Nike deal.
In late 2015, LeBron James signed a lifetime endorsement deal with Nike that is reported to be worth more than $1 billion. The terms of the deal have not been publicly disclosed and are said to be tied to sales, but James' agent and childhood friend Maverick Carter has indicated that windfalls for the star's camp will cross the billion-dollar threshold.
He's not at 1Billion. He'll probably get there or close to before he's 50 though.
But realistically, no one buys a team outright. There's an ownership group.
and if he's looking for significant hold in an ownership group, he's gonna have that before he even retires tbh
By diehard Go To PostMJ made waaaay more money buying that stake in the Hornets than he did from his career, damn.Interesting quote looking at this.
Apparently the Jordan brand is worth ~2.8 billion annually to Nike.
Jordan gets a cut of that still, right? (Hence why the hornest use Jordan branded stuff?)
By diehard Go To PostMJ made waaaay more money buying that stake in the Hornets than he did from his career, damn.kind of a testament to how poorly bob johnson ran the franchise too. who would've thought that not alienating every business in the area would be such a great move?
