king greedy james says goal is to become first athlete in world to be billionaire

lebron better save his money, never know when you have to buy a 2 million dollar ring

Seeing that article about LeBron, he may be buying more than one!!! I give him credit for being a savvy businessman. But, I also see why I don't like him too. The guy is a jerk!

Emo Serb, is it me or your pic in the SIG is disturbingly funny?

Lebron won't make it, He's nowhere near Jordan's level in popularity

[Pero]

"Whether he'll make it or not, James has set the goal of becoming the world's first athlete billionaire. Those ambitious plans go well beyond the saturated U.S. market."

Yes, I saw that. But James still doesn`t say these words here. He doesn`t say: "I want to be the first bilionare athlete in the world!".

"being a savvy businessman"

I bet LBJ knows all about business or marketing or finance. The sporting goods companies will do all the marketing, and his financial/business advisors and lawyers will handle the details and contracts. LBJ is a passive pawn in this money making game.

He has the potential to do this. Remember, he is not of an age where Michael Jordan was playing in the NBA yet, and in a lot of ways, Jordan was a ground-breaker in the size of endorsement contracts. James has potentially 20 more years in the NBA. If I were Cleveland right now, I would be sweating. Extension or not, he could make that billion faster playing in a town like Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles.

You are undoubtedly right about that! I gave him too much credit. Thanks for straightening me out!

That's what I was going for.

Ehh, i suppose the sig is different, but it is kind of boring, honestly. Not the most creative. I suppose it just takes a little more to make me laugh.

Gambling.

: indeed


Well James is more like Mike then we thought. A buisiness all the way, the scale is different the times are different the market is different but same at ude.

[The Great Fantastic]

I just wish that every professional athlete could be a billionaire. I'm also glad to hear that money was Lebron's motivating factor to play for Team USA instead of pride. Makes me melt inside!
