So why doesn't he deserve to get paid? He is a rare 1 in 10 million athlete that doesn't come around very often, like Michael Jorday & Tiger Woods.

Jordan didn't start off at making millions as Lebron is! Sure Jordan was good when he first came to the NBA and then his true abilites came out creating the legend that he is!
There's been many new upcoming stars that were expected to be great who didn't make it.....I just think Lebron needs to start from the bottom and work his way up! EARN IT
Let's first see how well he's gonna do in the NBA before you start paying him like one of the greats in the game!

That is the most disheartening news all day. Not even one pro game played and the kid gets that much money. Amazing how heart surgeons, police officers, firefighters and other people who save lives are out there and this guy gets that much money. I am telling you right now that I will not buy his sneakers or anything to do with him. Maybe instead of buying a Hummer, Lebron should give some money to help aid the homeless. Or maybe Lebron should hold off on that watch and form a scholarship for kids who want to attend college. This is why pro sports is so fake. At least when watching any college sport you know that 95 % of the athletes are diving for loose balls because they love basketball, not because Nike is sitting in the front row. I know this may look like player hating but that is just insane. Sad how the world works.

Are you a communist?...........

I can't wait to see him play in the pro's (and that's what Nike's counting on).

One thing I think you might be on to, is the Lebron hype.......Remember Brian Bosworth 'the boz', people expected to much out of him, because of his contract........People are going to be expecting miracles from this Lebron James.

With Nike paying workers 10-11 cents a day, they can afford it.

There really is no room for this kid to grow. He has the highest expectations and everyone kisses his ass. In my opinion, no one is overpaid, many people are underpaid. His athletic ability is phenominal, I just think the bar has been set too high. As far as education, he will never get a college degree, would you? I guess the media is to blame. I watched his televised high school games.

I probably wouldn't get a college education either, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't educate myself.

I just hope he makes positive choices on how to coduct himself now that he is so successful.

I am not hating but maybe Nike or Lebron can give $5 million of that money to charity. This is a materialistic world and I was caught up in it for awhile but now I can care less. As far as race goes that is not the issue and Bill Gates built his own company so he can do what he wants with his money.

I'm happy for him and he is staying in Cleveland as well since they get first pick in the draft. Thats cool cause I'm only an hour from there.

You sound real intelligent there Meatskin. What is your education level? I'm guessing high school drop out. I like the murder threat, that's very nice. And don't go threatening beating someones ass when you don't even know them. I hate punks like you that think you're tough and talk crap like that. If I had to guess I'd say you rarely if ever have been in a fight one on one, and if there is any truth to your threats I'd say you'll end up in prison. But unless you deal drugs or partake in some other illegal activities I'd say it's most likely poverty for you. Now go get a life and stop threatening people's lives on this board.

I vote for this guy to be banned. Threatening murder is not something we should hear on this board or any other.
