Plus, he would draw other stars. Could it be the AFL/NFL if the Euro league could hold out for a few years. The NBA would have to sue for peace especially if the euro/dollar exchange rates stay the same. I think there's a pretty could chance of that happening since we're in hock to the Chinese and the only we we can finance our deficits is reduce the value of the currency or raise rates.

Not just population, but population that cares about basketball. That's what I'm wondering. Yes, he’d be king, but how large is that pond?

How many kids nowadays rush to stores to buy the latest Lebron shoes? He's just one superstar amongst many, over there he'd be the king. I think Nike would sell MORE shoes over there.

How much does Nike pay LeBron? How many sneakers would he sell if he were playing ball every day in Greece as opposed to New York? I don’t think they would let that happen." Are you sure about that? The currency exchange rate would play just as of a factor for Nike as it would for LeBron. Nike might not sell as many shoes, but the exchange rate could very well make up for the difference. “Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, we’re forgetting about endorsement dollars.
