lebron james basketball, lebron james bio  There is no doubt that LeBron James basketball has put Cleveland and the Cavaliers back on the map. Money is not exactly a new idea to James. Since being signed during his rookie season, he has accumulated well over 100 million dollars. Si.com posted their results for the richest 50 athletes and LeBron James made the third spot.

Reading the LeBron James bio is like a work of fiction. Straight out of high school, Nike signed a 90 million dollar shoe contract with him. This past season he brought in 40.5 million dollars from his contract and endorsements. The list included athletes from all sports and 26 NBA players made it.

If you haven’t guessed already Tiger Woods took the top spot making 128 million dollars over the past golfing season. Phil Mickelson came in second place after making 62.4 million dollars this past year. It is crazy that
LeBron James basketball is bringing in more money than MVP Kobe Bryant. I think if the Lakers win the championship, next season Kobe will be making more than LeBron. Kobe came in fourth with
35.5 million dollars.
