In August 2021, Forbes magazine estimated LeBron James’ net worth to be about $850M! LeBron is one of the most famous persons on the planet, with endorsement deals with brands like AT&T, Beats, GMC, Walmart, PepsiCo, and of course Nike. James’ opinions are therefore taken seriously in culture. James has many memorable lines because of his fame. People wouldn’t regularly place a microphone in front of his face if they didn’t care about what he had to say. Not to mention that he has a captive audience for his press conference after each game.
There are other quotes from James, but these are probably the most well-known.
“I think, the team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.”
LeBron is one of the best teammates on the court. James knows how to play basketball as it relates to a team, so if a player is open and has a greater shot than James, he will find them. When the media started asking whether LeBron was superior to Jordan, this was one of his first criticisms.
“I’m going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat.”
Due to his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers expiring after 7 seasons, LeBron James announced his free agency plans at a press conference dubbed The Decision in 2010. Would LeBron remain in Cleveland, his “home”? Or would he try out for a different NBA team? Well, that’s it; the previous phrase expressed everything that needed to be said; the rest is history.
