"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).
James' agent and CEO of Klutch Sports, Rich Paul, first told The Athletic's Shams Charania about the new contract, as well as confirming the agreement to multiple outlets on Wednesday. The deal sees him remain a Laker until the end of the 2022-23 season, and opens up the possibility of playing in the NBA at the same time as his son, Bronny. James' current deal had been set to expire at the end of the 2021-22 season. As part of the new deal, James is set to earn $41 million in the first year of the extension, before he earns $44.5 million in the final year of his contract.
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.
A year after the Golden State Warriors overwhelmed the Cleveland Cavaliers to claim their first championship in 40 years, the two elite teams find themselves in the same position again, with the Cavs facing elimination on home court in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
