LeBron will be super rich anywhere
No matter where he plays in 2010-11, LeBron James will not lack for endorsement money from big-name sponsors, with a portfolio that features Nike, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and State Farm.
James signed with McDonald's earlier this year and re-upped last year with Coca-Cola and in March with Nike, so his sponsors do not seem overly concerned with where he will play.
(The Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported James' new seven-year Nike deal does not include a clause that would pay him more if he plays in a larger market.)
Even playing in Cleveland, James' replica jerseys are the second-best sellers in the NBA after Kobe Bryant's, and his estimated $28 million per season in endorsements easily tops the NBA.
