“…James fancies himself as sports’ next business mogul. Already earning nearly $30 million annually in endorsements, he gets financial advice from Warren Buffett and has his own firms handling all of his business and marketing ventures. He is LeBron Inc., with dreams of taking his brand globally.

“…LeBron James told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he has filed the necessary paperwork with the NBA to change his jersey number from 23 to 6 next season.”I’ve done it,” James said. “I already sent it in. I’m going to be number 6.”

“…The dream scenario for both New Jersey and New York is LeBron and Bosh would bolt their respective teams to go to a big-market team.
Privately, Knicks and Nets sources have told me that’s the only scenario in which they think they would have a real shot at prying LeBron out of Cleveland.
