Sports Talk: The Fasted Growing Global Icon

LeBron James, arguably the best basketball player in the world next to Kobe Bryant. However, Lebron James at age 24 has accomplished more than most will in their lifetime. Before his first NBA career he signed a 5 year 90million dollar deal with Nike, the second largest shoe contract next to Tiger Woods. He has been on more than 50 magazine covers ranging from Forbes, Slam, Men’s Fitness, Time Magazine and many other well known magazines.  Not only has LeBron James lived up to his expectations but exceeded them as well, becoming the youngest player reaching 10,000pts and the only player Cleveland Cavaliers leading all time scorer. His ambitions reach far out of the NBA, LeBron plans to become the first billionaire athlete, and with the help of all his sponsors his vision could very well become a reality.
