NBA icon LeBron James has signed a lifetime contract with Nike, according to published reports on Monday. Nathan Frandino reports.
"It's just an honor to be named with the greats," says LeBron James after surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the top NBA scorer of all time. James finished the night with 38,390 career regular season points, three more than Abdul-Jabbar's tally of 38,387, a record that had stood since 1984. SOUNDBITE
LeBron James, the Finals MVP, is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. However, the NBA's salary cap rules mean he typically earns less than other mega-star athletes. European soccer leagues lack a salary cap, according to Business Insider. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo made far more last year than James. Still, LeBron James led the LA Lakers to an NBA championship on Sunday night. This marked his fourth championship and first since joining the Lakers in 2018.
Hundreds of supporters took to the streets of Oakland to celebrate the Golden State Warriors' NBA victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers last night after a stunning performance by MVP Kevin Durant and teammate Steph Curry contributed to end the title hopes of LeBron James. Champaigne was flying, fans were yelling at the top of their lungs and the streets were packed with celebrating crowds holding up signs.
"I know you guys are excited to see her. I didn't know you guys would be excited to see me too," said Lebron James before welcoming Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on stage at her Cleveland rally. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
