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.
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.

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.

:wow:

thats why it irks me when I hear people shytting on him because dude came from the bottom, empowered his people and his community cant wait to see him take it to the next level after his basketballl career :wow:

The fact that he's done what he's done in basketball, and then been the family man he's been and taken care of his friends and his hometown and still is without any personal scandals to this day...it's really remarkable.





TV contracts were directly influenced by the bump in ratings/media from lebron's decision

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.
