Lebron would go to Europe for $50m

Not sure how many people this will interest, but Lebron has said he'd consider playing in Europe for a modest fee of 50 million dollars a year...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3520860

Does anyone else just reeeeally dislike Lebron. All he ever talks about is becomming a billionaire...and at least once a month he'll say something completely arrogant and stupid...I mean who gets a tattoo on their back saying 'The Chosen One?' - just needs to tone down the 'im the king type stuff'

Could this work?

Lebron heads up the Euroleague conference of the New NBA.

Stern pushes Kobe and the Lakers through the NBA route to have Kobe V Lebron in the finals

It creates a massive us and them situation.

Nike love it

Stern loves it

TV audiences love it

Even that my nick name suggest otherwise. I dislike the guy and think he is about as intelligent as a wildebeest. I doubt he will ever win an NBA title as he has no concept of team. Other teams have star players but the ball goes to everyone. I would much rather have Duncan then Lebron any day! "The Chosen Donkey" more like it.

Agree with KingJames.

I kinda glaze over when super-rich people say stuff like "I'd think about it for $50m". Epic fail at life.

He would go to Europe and then play like a selfish asshole, that will go down really well in Europe. Or would he finally appreciate the Euro style and become a team oriented player.
I wonder which one is more likely.. mmmm

I think you are all being too critical of LeBron.

Firstly, it wasn't even LBJ who made the statement, it was a 'person close to James'.

Secondly, it was probably an attempt by a journalist to draw similarities to the $250m/5yr deal signed by David Beckham.

With the move to Europe being the hot topic at the moment, all players are going to be sunjected to these types of questions. Jason Kidd has already stated he will consider it once his contract will Dallas expires.

Im critical of him throughout his career, not just this one incident.

As am I.

And in this case, I think it would be LeBron's agent setting a price for the Euro teams to consider. I want a deal to go ahead, just to see what happens to the Euroleague and NBA.

I thought LeBron was a massive dick when he started, gladly ill talk full credit for being completely right. MJ might have been arrogant on the court but atleast he knew when to shutup!

Sheamus McPeake would easily fit Lebron James in the salary cap.Just get some corrupt friends to help pay $80 million or so. Nobody would ever notice :)

If Lebrons worth 50 million than David Barlow should get 60 Million. Davo tore the King a new one.
