LeBron to New York Knicks worth $1bn

From Forbes.com What The Knicks Told LeBron: Come To New York And Make $1 Billion

Here is the InterBrand presentation that backs up the numbers that the New York Knicks should be the destination for @KingJames.

Perhaps the Knicks could’ve used this fan photo added to LeBron’s Facebook page to the presentation as well? ;)

LeBron will break the Internet

If you don’t know by know LeBron James will choosing his next NBA team (or perhaps staying in Cleveland) via ESPN in a prime time special at 9pm ET.

Why will LeBron break the Internet?

Joined Twitter as @KingJames yesterday… 279,400 followers when I started this post now 280,748…

It took 2,242 tweets for @chrisbosh to get to 172,260 followers. LeBron (@kingjames)? Just 1.Wed Jul 07 01:34:52 via UberTwitterdarren rovell

Where is LeBron?

Want to know where Lebron (or at least the person tweeting for him) is?

Take the Location details from his Twitter account and put the numbers into Google Maps.

Hint: Turn off Location update when tweeting from UberTwitter.

Perhaps LeBron needs some training from Sports Geek?

LeBron Online Launch?

Why not launch a personal site & take control of your Facebook Fan page while you have the world’s attention?

What is it doing? Collecting email addresses, smart strategy why not hit up the sports world email boxes with new offers from King James?

Check http://bit.ly/apxlxx (lebronjames.com) for updated info on my decision.Wed Jul 07 15:52:17 via webLeBron James
KingJames

But the most staggering is the traffic hitting up his new website from that one tweet via Bit.ly.

Still not convinced about social media being an effective platform for sports & athletes?  Why not?

Where will LeBron end up?

Happy to have LeBron as a Sports Geek ambassador ;)

Chicago Bulls sold 1500 season tickets in 48 hours just on speculation alone.
