Why can't i get a deal like his possible $100 mil shoe deal from Nike

I'm not asking for much.

Take it to the rim!

I doubt he will sign with Nike...they will get Kobe and Carmelo Anthony instead.

Lebron is going to sell alot of shoes, but then will go out on his own ala Shaq and Chris Webber and flop. They'll call his gear BronWear or something stupid like that and sell it at K-Mart.

I hope it doesn't take him too long to become decent because the NBA needs him to ressurect the Cavs or Knicks or whomever wins the lottery tonight.

Nope its Nike its been reported by ESPN for a 7 year deal. yeah the Knicks need some help.

the Knicks does not need help, they need a miracle. God I miss the Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniel days.

It would be nice if Denver had an NBA team - Lebron could help.

What passes for the Denver Nuggets would most likely lose to most of the high schools in Denver....

Yeah, so Nike is going to have all three then, wow.

Lebron and Carmelo will get great deals some how...I met them and a bunch of others (got pictures with them too!) at the Capital Classic this past year (I'm from Washington, DC) and they are both so down to earth and really underneath all the hype, true, nice, 18 year olds (Carmello didn't play of course, but he was there to support Lebron)...they are amazing players and I hope they continue to do what they love to do

I'm keeping my fingers cross for tonight. The Cavs better get one of them.

I heard that James will have a $90 million deal with Nike. How on earth will he be able to make ends meet wih only $90 million?

I wish that had such problems.

I personally find this riduc..okay stupid, lol!! He is a high school kid!! The companies and teams are going to bankrupt themselves by paying higher and higher salaries for younger and younger players.

Just as the size of the engagement ring doesn't guarantee the quality and length of a marriage, neither do sports/merchandise contracts and length of quality playing career.

Yes this is why sports is in for a world of hurt sooner or later, its gonna catch up with them.

He is a first round draft pick for the Cavs.
