So what you're saying is he isn't the first NBA billionaire.

Michael Jordan doesn't exist.

Billion for throwing a ball through a hoop, what a world

No, he is. Jordan would have been the first former NBA athlete to be a billionaire. When you think of Lebron you think nba player. When you think of Jordan you think former nba player.

---

He could help so many people with that money.

He could donate 99% of it and still be set for life.

When I think of jordan I think of him making game winning shots.

When I think of lechoke I think of him running to Miami to win not one, not two, not thr...wait yeah just two.

It also doesn't say NBA player, just NBA's first which jordan is still a part owner of a nba team.

And according to

https://www.audacy.com/sports/nba/gallery/11-richest-nba-players-ranked-by-2021-net-worth

James net worth is only half a billion and his career earnings are 340.million

So even the premise any way you slice it is false.

Jordan doesn't count since he doesn't actually have a billion dollars. He spent it all on underwear

But billionaires bad right?

And he's still broke as a joke compared to Bezos.

He won't though. Because like Kanye and Oprah he will continue to bitch and moan about racism and equality and helping out poor black people, but won't actually spend any of his own money to do it.

I taught he died in a helicopter crash. Must be a Mandela effect.

I don't get why people care when other people become billionaires.

Oh look someone who can't read abusing the tag system, what a shock.

Nothing in the title states active only. And as already shown lechoke is worth a half a billion.

How is LeBron James an argument for billionaires being good?

Micheal Jordan worked hard for that money. Busted his ass, put the work in, had success.

Jeff Bezos hasnt worked hard in 20+ years. Amazon is supported by its workers, and Jeff just steals from them due to our crappy capitalist system. He takes all the money and distrubutes barely any to the workers, and keeps most of it for himself and the executives.

Its not hard to see the difference.

Posts like this are funny. They completely ignore all the stuff people do in their communities for some weird reason.

What a stupid way of thinking. He worked his ass off to set up his family for generations...and you want him to donate 99% of it?

Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Dan Gilbert

Majority Owner

Cleveland Cavaliers

No, he's thinking of Kobe Bryant.

That Dan Gilbert letter was one of the reasons I was surprised Lebron actually went back to Cleveland. I understood that he went back because he still wanted to win a championship there, though. Also was not surprised that he left again.

why is it usually Black athletes and celebrities in general constantly being told what to do with their money from losers who don't even respect them?

LeBron has been a better influence on the next generation than the impeachment MVP
