Thread: Lebron James set to become the richest sportsman on the planet

BBC Sport - Basketball - Biggest transfer saga ever?
310 million Americans probably reckon this is bigger sporting event than Sunday's forthcoming World Cup Final contested by 2 medium sized European countries.

Had to laugh at the idiotic spin Sky News are putting on this in so far as they reckon no one outside of the States had heard of him
Sssshhh! I was down in Harlseden way earlier and there were fellas placing bets in Paddy Powers on who he will sign for!
Saw as many James shirts as Beckham LA Galaxy ones in Buenos Aries earlier in the year too.

James is awesome. He's been phenomenal since joining the NBA. He was a one man team at the Cavs ! There were strong rumours he would go to the Knicks, a franchise that desperately needs a lift. Miami is a good choice though and it will be good to see him linking up with Wade.
