Question

If you were LeBron or Kobe, would you bolt the NBA for Greece if they offered $50 million a year?

Answer 1

no because i would want to play against the elite players in the world and why do you need that much money if you already make like 20 million

Answer 2

I'm not sure about Kobe, but LeBron has gone on record that his lifetime goal is to become a billionaire.  

A $50 mil contract surely wouldn't hurt, plus, think of the European endorsements he'd get.  Probably worth at least another $40-$50 mil per year. (He gets $25 mil now from endorsements).  

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

I'll quote Chris Paul on this one, "Show me a player in the NBA who wouldn't?"

Answer 5

Oh, yeah! Greece is a very beautiful country. Not to mention the delicious Greek foods, but the money makes life even sweeter!

Answer 6

heck yeah i do anything for the money

Answer 7

personally I would go anywhere for 50 million, but not being in their shoes and knowing what the outcome might be its hard to say,, it was just a simple question ask by the media nothing to serious to think about right now, i doubt either of them are going

Answer 8

sure

Answer 9

actually i woudnt cause if i were kobe or lebron i have a chance of becoming the greatest player ever in the greates stage of all like if you go to europe they are not as competitive as nba even if you dominate there all the people will doubt you so i would stay in nba

Answer 10

they give me 50 million and i will be thier the next and be there tommarow to collect my green

Answer 11

It would depend on who THEY were and how much lubrication they were willing to use durring the ordeal.

Answer 12

No, they make about 20 million here, plus all the endorsements. There isn't much you can buy with 50 million that you can't buy with 20 million. Plus, you get to stay in the NBA where the best competition is.

Answer 13

h**l NO!!!! and heres why.  You will not be able to market that player nearly as big as u would in the USA.  Kobe and LEbron both almost made $40 million last year.  Ya it would be tax free overseas but to think of your future endorsements that you will not be able to market.  Thats like throwing away your endorsement money thats gonna last you until after you retire.  It would be a stupid move business wise.
