LeBron James’s Nike deal may be worth more than $1 billion

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Funny how Dude talking about Jordan and his white daddy shit, yet LeBron went back hat in hand to a racist CAC, who shit on him like a motherfucker and talked about him like he was a bitch, and is now his Master, and promptly took an L for his master as well?!?!?! How the fuck does that shit work!?

i kno mike gave a job to a black dude i kno giving him 250,000 a yr juss to give his sneakers to celebs for free so that they can post it on social media..this was over a decade ago and he stay getting a raise.. mike got a few black dudes that he pay very nicely.. so mike ain't as much of a tom as some people believe

Jesse Lee Peterson, Charles Barkley, Steven A Smith have all given money and jobs to black people. Doesnt make them any less of toms. MJ's agent is a jew named David Falk, his best friend is a CAC named Buzz Peterson. Bron's agent & best friend is Maverick Carter, a young black man who brokered this deal.

jordan still holds the single season payday in nba history 20 yrs later

Because they changed the salary cap in collective bargaining. You cant do 1 year deals like that anymore. At age 31 MJ was making 4 mill a year and Nike was paying him between 30-40 mill. Peanuts to what Bron is making at the same age.

he also left his black friends behind to pursue an underachieving cac power foward

Money on the back end constitutes having brains?

I advise you to read up on a financial principle called "time value of money"

Maybe if LeBron had the brains Jordan had, and got his bread on the back end he wouldn't be 2-4 in the finals... handicapping teams and shit!

Don't have too. He know there was more money to be made from winning... going 6-0 in the finals, having a signature brand and anthem (still waiting for someone to have their 'Be Like Mike' Jingle), Oh, but LeBron is repping Kia though Dude is hilarious! He really believes he's dropping science too! As long as Air is breathing he's gonna be out eating Niggas!!

MJ at Lebrons age didn't get a life time billion dollar deal Bruh

MJ's deal wasn't publicized but it probably wasn't for a billion dollars.

I didn't get sonned ask him did Mike get a billion dollar life time deal at Bron's age? Ask him was it even a 100 mill?

No sonning over hear

Nike after 30 years just now gave Mike that Jordan brand lmaoo

The "Jordan Brand"'was established in 1997, coming up on its 20 year anniversary.

Once again, money numbers weren't released at that time.

Lebron is 30. Let's me generous and says he lives another 30. That money over 30 years isn't looking all that hot.

Let's not stretch it, 30+ million a year is good. It's not the big number a "BILLION" that they're screaming but it's a lot of money.

I don't know the details of LeBron's deal but we know Jordan's deal is based on a commission paid from percentage of sales.

At the rate of L's that Jordan is taking this year, his popularity has to be plummeting which will negatively affect how he shoe is selling.

Is the majority of LeBron's deal commission based percentage of sales like Jordan or is it a yearly annuity payment? If the latter then he won, clearly.

Exactly what "L's" did Jordan take this year?

Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Barkley aint in the business of selling shoes and have business affairs outside of basketball they excel at. MJ does not, so he has to hang onto his second childhood forever. He's not great or even good at anything except shoe sales and Phil Knight deserves the bulk of the credit for that. No one even looks up to or even wants to play for him as an owner which is ALL him. MJ will be 70 years old still releasing retros bragging bout the 90's cuz his present day persona sucks.

MJ didn't sign your t-shirt huh?

Who has a billion at 31?

They didn't write a check to Lebron for a billion dollars. Most likely he's getting between 25-30 million dollars a year for 30+ years.

None of his new shoes outsell present day players. The shoes he's put out the last 15 years dont do shit. If his brand was strong that wouldnt be the case. His niche is "retro" sneaker sales but aside from that you cant tell me 1 business venture he's done that's excelled. Not one. And his career accolades aint even the greatest, he's just the best marketed bball player of all time. Next you gon tell me Mike Tyson the greatest heavyweight cuz he still gets dough for movies and is the most recognizable.

If Mike was as legendary as you claim he would've got a deal like this while he was playing, but he didnt, he was getting peanuts cuz thats what white daddy told him he was gon get. Just like how Jerry Krause aint pay him shit the majority of his career.

One can't compare a current players shoe to a newly designed Jordan shoe being that Jordan hasn't played for 10+ years.

Jordan's newer shoes don't sell because people are stuck in the past. The public appears to need to see you on the court in the shoes to feel a true connection to the player.

Damn. @BeatDownRecords just got gran sonned

See what happens when you open your mouth beatdown? It's better to be thought a fool...you know the rest. This motherfucker gave his damned self a Jordan cry trying to hate

You and I both know that Dude. I ain't even hating on LeBron either, I am beyond happy whenever ANY black person does well and excels... I just let these fools talk. You know they stay stuck on stupid when it comes to Air, who at 53 is still clocking 100 mill a year... Niggas ain't NEVER catching him bruh! Air still be like

one of these days a superstar athlete will branch out on there own away from nike and those other companies. But i guess when nike can throw around money like that, its hard to start your company and name brand.

Yeah Steph did and he's winning, money plus stock in the company.

Under Armour tried hard to get KD, offered him 30 mill a year plus stock and he stayed with Nike.

Due to the money Under Armour offered KD, Nike had to up the money they gave Lebron.

Only on BGOL can a brother can a billion dollar deal be "only" a billion. Dudes sound ridiculous y'all man crush on MJ is sickening.

MJ became a billionaire at 50. Lebron is 30 and worth $500 million and signed this deal...yet somehow Lebron is "losing". Complete joke. Lebron has leveraged his career to get max money his whole career yet he's losing...lol. Jordan made 3% of what he made the Bulls his whole career until the last 2 years....he made $90 million from Nike last year while selling $3 billion in product which means that's a 30-1 ratio...yet somehow he's a smarter business man.

Meanwhile Lebron gets a cut of his own teammates contract(Thompson)...


MJ had a better career on court and that's all good. But when it comes to off court business acumen Lebron wins in a landslide. MJ capitalized on being the best player in the world his opportunities came to him through his agent. Lebron took those same opportunities and empowered himself and his circle.

But my bad y'all jump man worshiping sambos don't understand that.

How is niggaz even trying to compare what bron getting now and what mj got. People weren't getting paid the same when mj was playing.

Jordan ain't played in ages and still got the hottest shoe.

Damn Sheila....You Mad?!?!

First of all... All Jordan comments were in response to LeBrons stalker initiating Jordan into the discussion as he always does... Secondly, you talk about man worship, yet you come in here with your neck rolling, popping your finger hissing and scratching all butt hurt about the fact that LeBrons balls are being swung from here except by one Dude, then you proceed to make sure you tea bag the fuck out of his nuts with your entire post to add balance lil Nigga!

Don't play yourself lil guy, you sound just like a defensive lil bitch over a man you never met, except in your quiet time.... And if you don't understand 'man worship' re read you lil tantrum ass whiny post and you will probably understand it better.... And get your testosterone up, you sound like a lil bitch right now!

Exactly! That niggas obsession with Jordan is ridiculous. Shit, I'm the one who posted this shit to give LeBron props but that Rain Man ass Dude literally can't help himself. It's like LeBron can't exist in his world without Jordan as a measuring stick, like he needs a Jordan comparison to validate LeBron... Fucking pathetic really, that a 50 plus year old man who has been retired over 15 years still dominates a sport and business world he left a long time ago. This Dude is grabbing 100 mill a year just for sitting in the cut and this fool is STILL obsessed with him. Jordan HAS a billion dollars plus in net worth, LeBron has the POTENTIAL to make that much over his LIFETIME which is a major accomplishment and should be celebrate, but this Dude can't get Jordan off his brain long enough to celebrate LeBrons achievement...

...and then you get this idiot FJP coming in here talking his earrings and heels of, popping his fingers and hissing at us like a bitch... WAY off center with his dumb ass too! Shit is hilarious!!!

I understand why Bron went back but I truly hate the fact that he came back simply because of their owner. Everytime I see the owner I just shake my head in disgust.

LeBron may never win as many rings as MJ but he's an even bigger winner than MJ. To land a billion dollar plus deal at 31 says much about who he is and how respected he is by others and what they think of him.

You do realize the deal is POTENTIALLY worth a billion right? Not guarantees money... Also, the dollar is different now, league income etc is different now so. Dollar now is worth less than it was 20 years ago. The difference is, Jordans billion is in pocket, LeBrons is incentive based and not a guarantee he sees that much.

Like I said earlier, I am happy for LeBron, possibly the best all around player Ive ever seen but the fact Jordan in his 50s is still the measuring stick, his name is still brought up regardless of any achievement LeBron mix, and the fact that in his fifties his sneakers still are the best sellers, and he still just sitting on his butt smoking cigars bringing in a hundred million plus a year, prove he's still the greatest! LeBron is doing his thing, I was the brother the greatest success ever, but the fact remains with all his accomplishments and that 31, which means his career is close to ending in a few years, he has a long way to go to ever catch Jordan, and he will never ever attain the cultural impact Jordan has! Would people need to do is let LeBron be LeBron, and let Jordan be Jordan!

Considering LeBron's approach to business is there any doubt he'll maximize this deals earning potential? I have no doubt.

Still an opinion at this point... Not guaranteed. People have to buy his shoes... Its not on him to make this deal work. Jordan STILL has people waiting in line for hours for his releases.... Not current player comes close to that. We may NEVER see this this type of impact. LeBron is not the icon Air is and his popularity could very well diminish once he retires... That billion is not a sure thing at all...

Why shit always got to go into a Jordan comparison

Because Jordan and his played out brand needs it. If Steph Curry or Kevin Durant lose in the Finals Jordans brand wont get stronger. But if LeBron does it somehow will and his hoe ass fans will be beating their chest. Jordan brand is totally dependent on LeBron at this point.

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Why shit always got to go into a Jordan comparison

Thats my whole point. The simple fact Niggas have to keep involving him after all these years proves his time transcending greatness. At this point LeBron cant exist without Jordan it seems. Hes an amazing player, is doing amazing things on the court and should be celebrated on his own merit. I celebrate him for who he is, which is why I posted this. Its about him and his achievements, let him have his moments. MJ is a 53 year old man, no longer playing but still eating. Its pathetic to disrespect LeBron by refusing to give him HIS own shine. Funny thing is, its his bitch as stalker who constantly does this shit. Its like a Nigga is insecure about a man hes never met. Shit is scary really. I made this thread to acknowledge his great achievement... That motherfucker as is his weird way, makes it about Jordan... Dude is strange as fuck real rap...
