Nba title effect, James 'Mr. 100 million'
Number 23 brings good luck. No. 23 of the Cavaliers becomes the highest paid player of all time for a season with a 3-year contract totaling 100 million equaling in his third season the Bulls’ Micheal Jordan of ’95-96, also No. 23, back in the days when of course the dollar had a higher value anyway. LeBron James made the most of his first title with the Cavaliers and the playoff MVP title thanks to his agent Rich Paul and will officially sign next week at the annual event dedicated to his foundation engaged in social and charitable activities.
Contrary to the first two “1+1” seasons with his return to Cleveland, next season’s salary will rise from 22,970.00 to 31 million and for the first time he will be the highest paid in his career, then in the second and third he will touch Jordan’s 33 million in ’97-’98, with the option to opt out of the contract in the third season.
The surprise is that in the soaring salary cap of the 30 NBA franchises due to the effect of the rich Tv contact, a higher contract was also thought of, perhaps 35-40 for one season, but in the leap year he merely took the baton from Kobe Bryant (25 million per year) and conquered this record in economic terms, but without forgetting that in 2016 he also signed a $500 million lifetime contract with Nike.
To understand the magnitude of the poor-born basketball billionaire’s figure compared to others, the three-year cycle is worth nearly three times the total receipts of the Italian Serie A, and he earns twice as much as the highest-paid Italian player, Gallinari, who in his second year of contract with Denver had a physiological increase and exceeds 15 million. James is involved in various businesses, including a media content company and will be the producer of Space Jam 2, which brought Jordan to the height of popularity with the Walt Dysney film.
LeBron has a very close relationship with Obama and is a heard member of the players union. He entered the NBA in 2003 as the first pick in the NBA, wore the Cleveland jersey twice, in between the 4 seasons in Miami with two titles in 4 finals, totaling 3 titles in 7 finals. For 10 seasons All Star in first quintet, top scorer for a season, 4 times MVP of the season, 987 games with 26833 points and 7067 rebounds. Tall at 2.02, he turns 32 on Dec. 30, was born in Akron (Cleveland). He did not know his father; he adores his mother, who made enormous sacrifices working as a waitress to pay for his education. He plays in the small-forward role, is a heavyweight with dancer’s feet, great passer equipped with a magnetic personality.
After him 12 other billionaires including Spaniard Marc Gasol exceed $20 million per season, namely 24,559,380 Carmelo Anthony (Knicks) who these days in Rio became the top-scorer in national history, 23,741,060 Chris Bosh (Heats), 22,868,827 Chris Paul (Clippers), 21,597,000 Damien Lillard (Blazers), 21,323,252 Derrick Rose (Knicks), 21,185,675 Marc Gasol (Grizzlies), DeAndre Jordan (Clippers), Brooks Lopez (Nets), Kevin Love (Cavaliers), 20,575,005 LaMarcus Aldridge, 20,093, 064 Blake Griffin (Clippers), 20,072,033 Paul Millsap (Hawks)
