The lebron effect.

[TheWinningFam]

Has anyone had more power over the league than lebron as a player?

-Turns bench warmers like delly and mozgov into 10 ang 16 mill/year players
-Wins 66 games with mo williams as his second option :roll: :roll:
-Forces a 73 win team with the deepest bench in the league beg another top 5 player to join them in hopes of beating LBJ
- Wins 3 championships with 2 differents head coaches on 2 different teams
(Should have been 4 titles with 3 different head coaches but got f.cuked over in the finals) AND one of those championships was a 3-1 comeback all with a BROKEN wrist.
-Convinces kevin love to leave the future superteam that is the timberwolves to take the harder route and win agianst the most stacked team in NBA history in the GSW..

You realize that the Cavs won this year, right? Unless you're talking about Kobe FMVP/finals?

[oh the horror]

Hello Dray n' Klay.

[SavageMode]

2/7 is officially a Kobe FMVP meme.

[AintNoSunshine]

One could easily argue Lebron is the second greatest player of all time.

Wait until he whoops Superteam Beta he'll officially pass MJ.

[knicksman]

The Kang is most responsible for the recent spike in salary




The massive increase in TV money is a direct result of the NBA’s recent resurgence. The current contract was signed in 2007, with the league coming off the lowest rated NBA Finals ever. The $930 million annual rights fee marked ‘only’ a 22% increase over the previous deal ($765M).

In the seven years since that contract was signed, regular season and playoff ratings improved dramatically. The NBA Finals averaged a double-digit rating each year from 2010 to 2013, topping the World Series in five of the last six years. The conference finals set records in 2011 (on TNT) and 2012 (on ESPN). ABC’s coverage of the shortened 2012 regular season was the most-watched on any network since the shortened 1999 regular season.



The players were principally responsible for that seven-year resurgence. Kevin Garnett‘s 2007 arrival in Boston rekindled the Celtics/Lakers rivalry, which started the league on its path back to relevance. Then, LeBron James‘ 2010 decision to sign with the Miami Heat kicked off four years of an unhinged media and fan backlash that sent ratings soaring.

The new TV deal comes nearly three years after NBA owners successfully engineered a massive redistribution of wealth that reduced the players’ share of basketball-related income to 50 percent. That was predicated on claims that the league was in dire financial health with most of the teams losing money. The players or owners can opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement in 2017, and another lockout is widely expected.

The legacy of LeBron's 'Decision' one year later



Record-Setting NBA Ratings

The NBA was must-see TV during the 2010-11 regular season. Ratings were up across the board as basketball fans were glued to their television to see how Miami’s Big Three would impact the rest of the league. The NBA on TNT averaged 2.45 million total viewers during the regular season, up 42 percent from 2009-10 and the largest regular season audience in network history. It remains to be seen if the NBA can keep up the strong ratings following the current lockout.
