Will Lebron James lose sponsors?
- Thread starter Safdar
- Start date
I am willing to bet that companies, in other words sponsors, have some lawyers of their own and they are probably as good as the lawyers an athlete would have looking out for him. I do not think companies like Nike, Ford, Coke would enter into a contract with an athlete without a clearly defined 'out clause'.Lebron undoubtedly has a good team of agents lawyers and managers who wouldnt let him sign an agreement that would let him get kicked off from sponsors if he lost, i would imagine there is a clause there that might let them kick him to the curb if he was found doing something illegal but even that is questionably. Sponsorship agreements are also multi year and i bet in his case they are 5+5 terms
His post game is absent. if he is ever in the post hes looks real awkward. he definitely needs to improve his dribble skills too. but during his 8 years in the leauge you still see an increase in his statsHe has yet to develop a post game ... With his body of centre and his athletic abilty of a swing man ... He could be a dangerous post up player ...
Serioulsy how much do you think he works on his shot in the summer ... Look at Lebron James as a rookie and look at James now ... Is there an aspect of his game that has grown ... He has the body and athletic abilty to do spectacular things ....
You shouldn`t be in this section if you need this explained.Define "choker".
You shouldn't be so ignorant when someone asks you to define a word.You shouldn`t be in this section if you need this explained.
LeBron James has won an Olympic Gold Medal, an Olympic Bronze Medal, carried an otherwise weak Cleveland Cavaliers team to the NBA Finals.
He's been a NBA All-Star 7 times, 2 times the NBA MVP, RoY, NBA Scoring Champion.
Since you didn't answer the question, 1 can only presume you were just blowing smoke out your ass, with nothing to substantiate the claim, which is common for you.
It appears that the king of nothing chose wrong!Lebron does have a tatto which says " The Choosen One " and refers to himself as King James ... He created the expectations as much as the media .
The chosen one was the slogan of the Sports illustrated Cover that he was on when he was 15-16. He was given the nickname king james in Ohio before he was in the NBA. People just want to fabricate that he made up these Names for himself when they were given to him.
I don't think he will lose sponsers, like him or not he is the most well known name for now. Jordan to this point won more and was a better closer but I don't know why everyone is still licking his ass. Jordan is an asshole pure and simple, if you had to hang out with either one I would think Lebron would be more real and a much nicer person. Lebron lacks media smarts for sure and says stupid shit all the time for the media to have fun with. In the end, Lebron seems to be a good family man, as was Iverson everyone always made out to be the bad guy. Jordan got caught fucking around on his wife, his older son that was not as good of a player went to Indiana and only averaged 1 point a game so I guess Jordan did not want to latch on to that and was never seen at any games or the like. Now he has a younger son who is very good plays for Florida or Florida St. he is very good and is probably NBA bound in the next couple years and Jordan is very proud to talk about him. Jordan has a gambling problem, there is much speculation that is why he retired and went away for a little, the NBA would have suspended him so he went to play baseball for a couple years. His father also got shot out of the blue for no reason and they never found who did it??? Gambling debt possible??? And he has even been linked to Tiger Woods' behavior, Tiger is one of Mike's suck of boys and wanted to be like Mike.
I don't like Lebron but he is very very good, he says stupid shit and lacks loyalty to his team, but all in all, there are many bigger assholes in the sporting world

Michael jordan may have a gambling problem. however i highly doubt he has a problem with gambling debt.
His father was murdered in a botched robbery and both cuplrits were caught and are serving life sentences.

I think it's more correct to say that he was part of an Olympic Gold Medal team and Bronze medal team.
While he did carry a weak Cavs team he also dropped the ball in the playoffs. If you give him credit for the carrying you have to give him credit for the dropping too. He also did not perform that well with a much better Heat team at crunch time. Does that make him a choker? Maybe not, but it's fair to say at this point he doesn't seem to save his best performances of the NBA season for when they will count most.
I think it's too soon in his Heat career to say for sure whether he would lose any sponsors but I would bet not.

I never knew they caught the guys that killed Jordan's Dad, that's good, I don't think he has a gambling debt whatsoever, and I guess it's not really a problem if you have expendable cash to throw away at something you enjoy, like many on this board, this hoppy can be much like gambling in many ways, but if people have the expendable cash flow then it is anyone choice to choose how they spend it. At the same time he has been part owner of some teams, maybe if he wasn't pissing away $100,000 every time he goes golfing he would be a majority owner of something by now,

are you serious? you're just going to ignore his gold medal, 3 confrence titles, 2 mvp titles and his 2 60+ "win" seasons?
ok.

Actually yeah. When you crown yourself as King and as the Chosen One. Yes. At the end of the day if you can't win rings -RINGS -the you can be branded as a choker. The Heat was as stacked a team as I've seen -and they lost. Lost because LeBron disappeared in the 4th quarter of every game.
When the expectations are so high and if a player cannot deliver when it counts the most - choker.

you seem like the type of person that is impressed with shiny objects. its clear that he did not name him self either of those terms. but its obvious that irrelevant slogans that rhyme impress you so muchActually yeah.

they lost because they gave away game 2 and 4. None of the big 3 really performed in the 4th quarter.The Heat was as stacked a team as I've seen -and they lost. Lost because LeBron disappeared in the 4th quarter of every game.

You could probably discount the gold medal. It's for Team USA to lose, it was shocking that they lost in 2004. Team USA could have won that with or without LeBron.^^^

And to continue your question........If youre the best player in the world, do you choke as often as this guy does or "go away" as often as he has?You could say there is a trend ... Gold medal against Spain James the best player in the world played the most minutes and only shot the ball 9 times ... Seriously if your the best player in the world ... Do you only take 9 shots ..
