LeBron Could Be $2.7B Boom For Chicago
May 31, 2010 6:27 PM EST
If LeBron James signs with the Bulls and plays in Chicago for six years, an estimate indicates that the two-time MVP could bring $2.7 billion to the city.
University of Illinois at Chicago economist John Skorburg says that in order to have that profound of an effect, James would have to win a few titles with the Bulls.
"Chicago has to convince LeBron that he can win championships there," says Paul Swangard, managing director of the University of Oregon's Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. "To maximize his off-court earning potential, it's all about getting rings."
Hosting 10 playoff games a year would generate nearly $5 million at the United Center on tickets, concessions, parking and other spending, Mr. Skorburg estimates.

^^ the bulls retired #23 and since lebron next year will be using #6, then he is very well fitted indeed.

all round chemistry - Hawks core of Josh Smith, Al Horford and company
front office - Hawks part-owner Michael Gearon Jr. was slapped with a fine when he said he'd give Lebron max... that means, the front office will spend fruitfully and efficiently for support
coach - if Hawks hire Avery Johnson
big city market - ATL's market should increase significantly with Lebron's signing
Wa jud ko kasabot aning "Lebron can't win solo" thing... I think he had plenty of help; Jamison, Mo, Shaq? Maybe most people are making stuff to defend their "king"... or "queen" perhaps? hehe...
Whew, sa market bai? Aw, if they sign LeBron which wont happen, I guess they WONT resign Joe Johnson and he'll look for a team that suits him like Nets. LOL.
maybe because some players are overshadowed by lebron. yes, he can play so many position and that i think maybe the cause that some of his teammates can't perform their usual task.
lebron can play from position 1-4 and even maybe 5. because he plays at point guard position, he can omit either jason williams, mo williams and delonte west positions, although west is a 2 guard but jwill and mo are pure point guard, both guards are explosive when playing on their positions.
lebron should play more post offense.
