Let’s just do a little math real quick and I could def. be off on my numbers so don’t quote me! LeBron makes $17.5 million per season. There are 82 games per season (not including pre or post season). So divide $17.5 by 82 and LeBron makes about $213K per game. I just wanted to put that into perspective before we continue this story. Lol. LeBron is willing to miss a Heat game for something. Can you guess what’s worth that much to him?!
According to Jon Machota at Special Contributor:
If the Dallas Cowboys were playing in the Super Bowl LeBron James would be willing to jeopardize missing one of his games to watch it.
That’s what the Miami Heat superstar and Cowboys fan said last week when he discussed having to possibly miss all of this year’s Super Bowl because of his NBA schedule.
“If the Cowboys were in the Super Bowl, I’d stay there for the game,” James said, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
James was upset that the midday start of the Heat/Raptors game in Toronto was going to cause him to miss a significant portion of the Super Bowl. According to the story, the Heat’s team plane doesn’t have satellite television or wi-fi service.
When told skipping a flight to watch the Cowboys in the Super Bowl could risk his chances of playing the following night in Miami, James responded: “Are you crazy, I would never leave.”
