nah just how much he's worth to cleveland. the guy in the video was talking about how before lebron returned the cavs franchise was worth $500m and now they are worth $1.1b. although every franchise doubled in that time period so that's not just due to him. the happiness he brought to cleveland/northeast ohio is priceless though.Wait, is this saying this is how much he is worth to Cleveland or his net worth because it's highly unlikely that his net worth is at that level.
And the thing is, Lebron James is regarded as an all-around great guy.
Does great things in the community.
Friendly to just about everyone.
To be that successful and still be grounded like he is....
Wow.

Yes and no. Those 4 years in Miami (you know when lebron, Wade and Bosh were sold as the Antichrist) with record ratings helped the league negotiate huge TV deals with ESPN and TNT. TV deals never seen before money wise for the league.
Which increased the value of all the teams.
Also let's not act like even when bids were coming in before Balhmer they weren't coming in for a bill +. shyt Oprah's group bid was around 1.3 billion. Old Balhmer just hooked up his fellow tribe with a deal for the clippers to make sure no outsiders owned the team....cough cough Oprah, Magic and others.
