Anyone go to ESPN.com today? So tired of them shoving Lebron and Kobe down our throats...
Let Us Stop Insults Please
Are they really shoving Kobe down your throat?
So far it's been Lebron, Lebron, Lebron. even after the Cavs lost Game 3 they still couldn't stop talking about him and his self proclaimed "The Shot".
I'll agree with that..Kobe not so much...but with the Puppet commercials all over ESPN...both of them being all over ESPN, trying to build up for the NBA Finals that may never happen. Lebron is worse...but you have to admit in the past, it's been Kobe Kobe Kobe.
I agree, its a bit too much. But well, thats it, when you have such a great player in the nba. the hype is to the maximum. As for kobe its not so much right now, but we have seen much worse hype surrounding him in the past years.
Euroleague has a new deal with Chinese TV that started this year. There was 200 million viewers per Euroleague game in China.
young athletes these days will do anything to acquire as many millions of dollars as possible for the sake of acquiring as many millions of dollars as possible.
I can see an nba superstar doing this eventually, but only for 1 season contract, 2 tops.
Yes they have. It's called New World Development Company. They will have the second-largest percentage of team ownership behind majority owner Dan Gilbert. Here is the article.

by Brian Windhorst/Plain Dealer Reporter Sunday May 24, 2009, 10:35 PM
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Cavaliers' new business partner is a huge multinational corporation with billions in assets. According to multiple NBA sources, the team's central new Chinese investor is New World Development Company, a Hong Kong-based conglomerate. It has over $21 billion in assets in hotels, convention properties, department stores, telecommunications, infrastructure projects and even financial services mostly in Southeast Asia.
New World owns a string of Marriott-brand hotels in Hong Kong, Beijing and Manila along with other brands that would be familiar to Americans, including a Hyatt. They are known in mainland China for their department stores in 17 different cities.
In other words, it is a financial powerhouse with numerous ways to take advantage of its pending investment in the NBA. Combined with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, whose Quicken Loans company weathered the mortgage crisis and emerged with more market share, the Cavs potentially will have some of the deepest backing of all the teams in the NBA.
LeBron James said before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday that he was excited about the prospect of the Asian investment.
"It's a big market; they love the game of basketball," James said. "I've been over there the last four or five summers, and I know how much they are inspired about the game of basketball. So it could be good. It should be fun."
Gilbert received interest from New World months ago when he made it known that former business partner David Katzman wanted to sell his share. The deal was brokered by Kenny Huang, a respected and established dealmaker in the Hong Kong marketing community that has been setting up partnerships with American sports teams for years.
Huang, who has been working with the Cavs on Chinese sponsorships for the last two years, was able to assemble the buyer group when he learned part of the team was available. Team sources said the only reason the club looked for new owners was because Katzman wanted to liquidate his shares.
Despite committing more than $100 million to payroll including luxury taxes this season, the team still has a chance to turn a profit with its long playoff run.
It is expected that Huang, who maintains homes in Hong Kong as well as New York, will be the group's representative with the Cavs and perhaps even be given a le within the team for next season.
The Chinese investors will have the second-largest percentage of team ownership behind Gilbert, who will remain as majority owner and will retain the final say on all matters with the franchise.
The investment will not be finalized until it is approved by the NBA's Board of Governors, especially the other 29 owners. The next meeting won't be until the fall but votes on ownership change can be done by proxy.
Wait - you pulled this out of your ass too right?
STOP WITH THE LIES MY FRIEND AND MAYBE YOU WILL GET SOME RESPECT HERE
LeBron to Europe??? Really I mean come on....how far in your ass did you have to reach to pull that out??/ YOu must have been up by your ribs..

Euroleague CEO visits Nike in China
Euroleague Basketball CEO Jordi Bertomeu has completed a series of meetings in Beijing, China that served to strengthen the compe ion's ongoing relationships both with global partner Nike and with Chinese basketball. Euroleague Basketball has already sponsored one event in China, the CBA-Euroleague Challenge in 2007, and since then has begun game broadcasts on three TV channels seen by audiences of 200 million. This time, Mr. Bertomeu met in the Chinese capital with Nike's Asia-Pacific sports marketing director, Goro Nakajima, as well as with Bruce Li and Tony Li, associate marketing director and marketing director, respectively. Their conversations provided a basis for further expanding the Euroleague's exposure in the world's most populous country while reinforcing the commitment on both sides to a long-lasting partnership.
I doubt he's going to Europe..especially after the Chinese investment group bought a minority part of the team. The only thing that's ever come out was someone close to Lebron saying he would consider playing in Europe if it was $50 million or more per year...
thanks buddy, i figured if chris Lloyd could do it KBP's dad could help us out
