It's kind of funny how people say Lebron can't become bigger than what he is or he that he already has enough endorsements. People never talk about Micheal Strahan. Ever since Micheal Strahan has won a Super Bowl in 2008. People don't talk about how Micheal Strahan has gotten a million endorsements since that Super Bowl. Subway,Vaseline Mens, Dr.Pepper, Snickers , Sports Authority and even his own T.V show ! Take all that in. At one time i couldn't turn the channel without seeing a Micheal Strahan commercial. Micheal is probably top 2 or 3 of the greatest Giants of all-time but, i wouldn't compare him to Lebron as far as Star Power. New York is still a basketball town. Imagine Winning 1 or 2 Titles in New York with the Knicks. He would double or triple Strahan's endorsements. Even without a Title he would have loads of endorsements. Let's not forget local/NYC endorsements there's so many in-city companies that would be feening to get Lebron to represent them.

Perfect example of what the New York market can do. David Lee and Nate Robinson in the Top 14 in Nba Jersey Sales for the 2009-2010 Seles lol Lebron would Blow Kobe out the Water with Merchandise the day he signed in NYC
People like Chris Broussard would say its 100% about winning with Lebron. To me its crazy that people really believe that. I believe Lebron's people are telling the media what they think people want to here.
