 Namath and Broadway....As if it was meant for one another |  Only in New York |
said by The Dv8or :If Yao Ming can be an international superstar from frickin Houston, and Tiger Woods can make $1 billion without any identifiable home area, there's no reason LeBron cant kick ass in Cleveland. With the global and mobile market the way it is, being in New York is a lot less important for an athlete's endorsements than it was 20 years ago. You make a good point. Back in the day a guy like Joe Willie Namath and New York was a GO from the get-go. But it wouldn't be like that today for the reasons you gave. |

| I think it's actually a tremendous benefit for LeBron to stay away from New York. First of all, that franchise is still a shambles. Second, he wouldn't have to deal with the crush of the New York media, which can ruin a guy pretty quickly *cough*A-Rod*cough*. Third, Cleveland really doesn't have anything going for it, and he can rule that city for the rest of his life, especially if he pulls down a ring or two. -- You're so vain...
